Open-Faced PB and J S'mores
These PBJ S'mores offer a delightful way to enjoy a classic treat with a healthier twist. Combining the nostalgic flavors of peanut butter and jelly with the gooey goodness of s’mores, this treat is a delightful way to indulge without overindulging.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon powdered peanut butter
- 1 whole graham cracker (4 rectangles/squares)
- 12 mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons chopped freeze dried strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat broiler or toaster oven.
- In a small mixing bowl, stir together the powdered peanut butter with 1 tablespoon warm water until thoroughly mixed.
- Spread peanut butter mixture evenly over graham cracker. Top with mini marshmallows. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top. Sprinkle with the freeze dried strawberries.
- Place loaded s'mores graham cracker under the broiler until the marshmallows are golden brown and puffed, about 2 minutes. Alternatively, you can heat in a microwave for 15 to 30 seconds, or until marshmallows are puffy and slightly melted - this method is faster but they won't turn golden like traditional s'mores.

- Fresh Strawberries: Thinly slice fresh strawberries and place them on top of the peanut butter before adding the other toppings. They add a juicy, fresh flavor but will be less crunchy.
- Dried Cranberries: These offer a chewy texture and a tart, fruity flavor that pairs well with the peanut butter and chocolate.
- Raspberry Jam: Spread a thin layer of low sugar raspberry jam or fruit spread over the peanut butter for a more traditional PB&J flavor. This adds sweetness and fruitiness without the crunch. I happened to have a jar of Trader Joe's Organic Raspberry Fruit Spread (naturally sweetened with juice), so that's what I used. 1 tablespoon of this raspberry fruit spread has 2 Points, so this peanut butter and jelly s'mores bar has 6 WW Points instead of the 5 WW
- Dried Blueberries: These small, sweet berries bring a different fruity note and a chewy texture, similar to dried cranberries.
- Banana Chips: Crushed banana chips provide a sweet, crunchy alternative that pairs nicely with the peanut butter and chocolate.
- Chopped Dried Apricots: These add a unique, slightly tart flavor and chewy texture, offering a different fruity element to the s’mores.
