S'more Cracker Cookies Delight

These S'more Cracker Cookies capture the nostalgic flavors of classic campfire treats in a simple, no-bake snack. They combine crispy Ritz crackers, sweet marshmallow crème, and rich chocolate almond bark with optional toppings for that authentic s'mores experience without the need for a fire. This recipe is perfect for any occasion when you want a quick, crowd-pleasing dessert.

I first made this treat during a last-minute summer gathering and it quickly became everyone's favorite finger food. They requested it again the next time, proving just how addictive these simple cookies can be.

Ingredients

• Ritz crackers: provide a buttery and crunchy base that balances the sweetness
• Marshmallow crème: the gooey center that mimics freshly toasted marshmallows, look for a smooth and creamy brand
• Chocolate almond bark: melts easily and firms up quickly, opting for almond bark means less tempering hassle while still offering a glossy finish
• Graham crackers crushed: sprinkled on top for added crunch and to recreate that classic s’mores flavor
• Marshmallow bits (optional): add extra chew and charm to the topping
• Mini chocolate chips (optional): give little bursts of chocolate in every bite

Instructions

Slightly melt the chocolate almond bark:

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate in 40-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted to avoid burning

Prepare the crackers:

Lay out all 48 Ritz crackers on a long sheet of wax paper, creating a clean workspace that makes assembly easier

Assemble the sandwich cookies:

Place a small dollop of marshmallow crème in the center of half the crackers. Use about a teaspoon for each to prevent overflow. Top each of these with another cracker and press gently so the marshmallow crème spreads evenly without oozing out

Dip the sandwiches in chocolate:

Using tongs, dip each marshmallow-filled cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is coated well but not dripping excessively. Tap the tongs against the edge of the bowl to remove extra chocolate for a neat finish

Add toppings and set:

Place each dipped cookie back onto the wax paper and immediately sprinkle with the crushed graham crackers plus marshmallow bits and mini chocolate chips if using. Allow the chocolate to harden completely at room temperature or place the cookies in the fridge for quicker setting

Midway through making these, I was reminded of a camping trip where my family passed around real s’mores by the fire. Replicating that with these cookies has made a quick decorative snack for many of our celebrations since then. My favorite part is the way the marshmallow crème melts slightly against the warm chocolate coating creating cloud-like pockets of sweetness in every bite.

Storage Tips

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep the crackers crisp for 2 to 3 days. If you want longer storage, place them in the fridge in a sealed container; the chocolate stays firm but the crackers might soften slightly. Layer the cookies with parchment paper in between to prevent sticking when stacked

Ingredient Substitutions

You can swap the chocolate almond bark for good quality melting chocolate or chocolate chips if that is what you have on hand. If you cannot find marshmallow crème, softened marshmallows can be melted down and used instead though the texture will be slightly different. Substitute Ritz crackers with similar buttery crackers but keep the size consistent to maintain the sandwich shape

Serving Suggestions

These cookies pair wonderfully with a cup of milk, hot cocoa, or even coffee for a nostalgic afternoon pick-me-up. Arrange them on a festive tray with fresh fruit to balance the richness during parties. They make charming edible gifts when wrapped individually in cellophane tied with ribbons

This recipe delivers nostalgic flavors quickly and easily, perfect for all skill levels and occasions.
