S’mores Cracker Cookies

There’s something universally nostalgic about s’mores. Maybe it’s the smoky-sweet aroma of toasted marshmallows, or the sticky fingers that come from biting into a chocolatey, gooey sandwich around a campfire. But sometimes, life doesn’t allow for campfires and open skies. That’s where S’mores Cracker Cookies come in.

The first time I tasted one of these cookies, I was instantly taken back to a family camping trip deep in the Smoky Mountains. We had forgotten graham crackers and improvised with buttery sandwich crackers—and somehow, it was even better. The salty-sweet combo created a perfect harmony that stayed with me.

These no-bake s’mores cookies offer that same magic but with a delightful twist. By swapping out traditional graham crackers for crisp, buttery Ritz crackers, and layering them with marshmallow creme and melted chocolate, you get the perfect blend of crunchy, creamy, sweet, and salty. Topped with crushed graham crackers or your favorite sweet bits, these treats are a quick fix for a craving, a hit at parties, and a fun project with kids.

Whether it’s a rainy day indoors or you’re just looking for a nostalgic treat without starting a fire, this recipe brings you the joy of s’mores with none of the mess. Easy, delightful, and ready in minutes—these cookies are the next best thing to gathering around a crackling fire.

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

• 24 oz chocolate almond bark or chocolate melting wafers
• 1 cup crushed graham crackers
• Optional: mini marshmallow bits, mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, crushed candy bars

HOW TO MAKE S’MORES CRACKER COOKIES

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Melt the chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, break the almond bark or melting chocolate into small chunks. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth. This usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes total. Make sure there are no lumps and the mixture is silky.

Step 2: Assemble the marshmallow sandwiches
Place 24 crackers, flat side up, on a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper. Using a butter knife or small spatula, add about a teaspoon of marshmallow creme onto each cracker. Don’t worry about perfection—it spreads when pressed. Top each one with another cracker to create a sandwich, gently pressing down.

Step 3: Dip in melted chocolate
Dip each cookie sandwich halfway—or completely—into the melted chocolate. Allow excess to drip back into the bowl. Use a fork or dipping tool to help cover them evenly, then return them to the wax paper.

Step 4: Add toppings
While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle each cookie with crushed graham crackers, mini marshmallows, or your favorite toppings. This step is great for kids to help with.

Step 5: Let them set
Let the cookies rest at room temperature for about 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened. You can speed this up by popping them in the fridge for 10 minutes, but room-temp setting keeps them crispier.

HELPFUL TIPS

• Use parchment or wax paper to make cleanup easy.
• Stir the chocolate often to avoid burning in the microwave.
• Stick with marshmallow creme for mess-free spreading and consistent results.
• Dip only halfway for a neat look—or fully for extra chocolate goodness.
• Make ahead and store in airtight containers for up to a week.

Up to 5–7 days in an airtight container at room temperature.

Store S’mores Cracker Cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature. Keep them in a cool, dry spot—no need to refrigerate, which can cause chocolate to bloom or lose its sheen. For longer storage, freeze individually and enjoy later.
