How to Make S’mores Cracker Cookies

Ingredients

  • 48 Ritz crackers
  • 7 oz. marshmallow crème
  • 24 oz. chocolate almond bark
  • 1 cup graham crackers (crushed)
  • Marshmallow bits (optional)
  • Mini chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate almond bark in 40-second intervals until completely melted.

  2. Place the Ritz crackers on a long sheet of wax paper.

  3. Add a small dollop of marshmallow crème to the center of half the crackers. Place another cracker on top of the marshmallow crème and press them together to distribute the marshmallow evenly.

  4. Use a fork or candy tongs to grab a cracker sandwich and dip it into the melted chocolate. Carefully tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove extra chocolate.

  5. Place the dipped cracker back onto the wax paper. If desired, sprinkle graham cracker crumbles, tiny marshmallows, and/or mini chocolate chips on top of the cookies right away.

  6. Allow the crackers to set on the wax paper until the chocolate hardens.

  7. Store the completed cookies in an air-tight container for up to 5 to 7 days.

How to Serve S’mores Cracker Cookies

These cookies are best served at room temperature. They make a delightful snack or dessert and can be enjoyed with a glass of milk or a warm beverage. For an extra touch, add a few more sprinkles of chocolate chips or marshmallows before serving.

How to Store S’mores Cracker Cookies

Store the cookies in an air-tight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for about 5 to 7 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can also freeze them. Just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.

Tips to Make S’mores Cracker Cookies

  • Make sure to dip the crackers in the chocolate quickly to avoid the marshmallow crème melting too much.
  • Play around with the toppings! You can also use peanut butter chips or other kinds of candies for a fun twist.
  • For easier handling, try using a double boiler to melt the chocolate almond bark instead of a microwave.

Variation

For a twist on the classic recipe, you can substitute the Ritz crackers with graham crackers or use different flavored chocolate, like milk or white chocolate. You can also add a layer of caramel for an extra chewy texture!

FAQs

  1. Can I use regular marshmallows instead of marshmallow crème?
    Yes, you can use regular marshmallows, but you’ll need to melt them first and then spread them between the cracker sandwiches.

  2. How do I know when the chocolate is melted?
    The chocolate is melted when it is smooth and has no lumps left. Stir it well after each interval to check its consistency.

  3. Can I freeze S’mores Cracker Cookies?
    Yes, you can freeze them! Just ensure they are stored in a single layer with parchment paper between them to prevent sticking.
