How to Make S’mores Cracker Cookies

Getting started on these S’mores Cracker Cookies is a breeze! I’ll walk you through each step. Soon, you’ll have these little slices of heaven ready to share—or not! Who could blame you for wanting to keep them all to yourself?

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

First, grab a microwave-safe bowl and break the chocolate almond bark into smaller pieces. This helps it melt evenly. Microwave it in 40-second intervals. Make sure to stir in between until it’s completely smooth and melted. Just keep an eye on it; we don’t want any burnt chocolate ruining our dreamy treat!

Step 2: Assemble the Cookie Sandwiches

Now, line up those Ritz crackers on a long sheet of wax paper. They are ready for their marshmallow crème filling! Place a small dollop of marshmallow crème in the center of half the crackers. Then, place another cracker on top, pressing them together gently. This seals in that sweet, gooey goodness. Make sure the marshmallow crème is evenly distributed; nobody likes a half-filled sandwich!

Step 3: Dip in Chocolate

Time for the fun part—dipping! Using a fork or candy tongs, carefully grab one cracker sandwich and dip it into the melted chocolate. Be sure to cover it completely. Afterward, gently tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to shake off any excess chocolate. We want just the right amount coating our cookies without making a mess!

Step 4: Add Toppings

While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle on your preferred toppings. Think graham cracker crumbles for that classic taste or some mini chocolate chips for extra sweetness. If you have marshmallow bits, toss those on, too! This is your chance to get creative and make the cookies as delightful as possible.

Step 5: Set and Store

Now comes the hardest part—waiting! Let the cookie sandwiches set on the wax paper until the chocolate hardens. This will take some time, but it’s worth it! Once the chocolate is firm, store the cookies in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for about 5 to 7 days—if they last that long!

Tips for Success

  • Ensure your chocolate is melted completely for a smooth coat.
  • Use a fork to dip the sandwiches; it keeps your fingers clean!
  • Let the chocolate cool slightly before adding toppings for better adhesion.
  • Experiment with toppings to suit your family’s taste preferences.
  • Keep an eye on the time while melting chocolate; patience is key!

Equipment Needed for S’mores Cracker Cookies

  • Microwave-safe bowl: Essential for melting chocolate. A glass bowl works great too!
  • Fork or candy tongs: Helps with dipping without messy fingers. A slotted spoon can be a handy alternative!
  • Wax paper: Perfect for setting your cookies. Parchment paper will do the trick as well!
  • Measuring cup: Useful for measuring toppings if you want to be precise.

Variations of S’mores Cracker Cookies

  • Chocolate Chip Cookie Base: Swap out Ritz crackers for chocolate chip cookies for a gooey, indulgent twist on the classic.
  • Peanut Butter Delight: Use peanut butter crackers instead of Ritz for a delightful sweet-and-salty flavor combination.
  • Dark Chocolate Drizzle: Try using dark chocolate almond bark for a richer taste. It pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of marshmallow crème.
  • Fruit Toppings: Add sliced strawberries or bananas on top of the marshmallow crème for a fresh, fruity take!
  • Minty Fresh: Incorporate peppermint extract into the chocolate for a seasonal minty flavor, perfect for the holidays!
  • Nut-Free Version: Stick to simple toppings like sprinkles or coconut flakes to keep it safe for nut allergies.

Serving Suggestions for S’mores Cracker Cookies

  • Pair these cookies with a cold glass of milk for a delightful classic combo.
  • Create a fun dessert platter by arranging them with fresh fruit like strawberries or apple slices.
  • Serve them at parties alongside a hot cup of cocoa for a cozy treat.
