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
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate almond bark in 40-second intervals until completely melted.
Place the Ritz crackers on a long sheet of wax paper.
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.
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.
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.
Allow the crackers to set on the wax paper until the chocolate hardens.
Store the completed cookies in an air-tight container for up to 5 to 7 days.
