What You’ll Need

2 tablespoons of butter (melted)

How to Make S’mores Cracker Cookies

Let’s make it together! Follow these simple steps to create your own version of this beloved treat:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help with easy cleanup!
Layer graham crackers on the baking sheet in a single layer; there’s no need to break them apart just yet.
Place a piece of chocolate on each cracker, allowing the chocolate to melt beautifully as it heats.
Top with a marshmallow, placing them right on top of the chocolate. These will puff up and become golden!
Bake for about 5-7 minutes or until the marshmallows are beautifully golden brown and toasted.
Remove from oven and top each marshmallow with another graham cracker to form a delightful sandwich.
Allow to cool slightly before serving, as they can be quite hot!

Fun Ways to Customize It

Let’s explore some delightful variations to bring your s’mores game to the next level:

Peanut Butter Bliss: Spread a thin layer of creamy peanut butter on the graham cracker before adding chocolate for a zesty twist.
Minty Fresh: Swap chocolate for peppermint patties or add a few drops of mint extract to your melted butter for a refreshing burst.
Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts) on top of the chocolate before adding marshmallows for a crunchy texture.
Caramel Drizzle: Once assembled, drizzle melted caramel sauce over the top for a rich, indulgent treat.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Advice: You can assemble the sandwiches ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. Just pop them in the oven when you’re ready to enjoy!
Ingredient Swaps: Feel free to use graham cracker crumbs mixed with butter for a cookie crust instead of whole crackers for a different texture.
Slicing Tricks: If you want to cut them into smaller bites after cooling, use a serrated knife for clean cuts without squishing the marshmallows.
Storage Suggestions: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days — if they last that long!
