S’mores Cookies
C.W. Newell
Here’s what happens when chocolate chip cookies and campfire s'mores come together. Graham cracker crumbs are mixed right into the dough, while chocolate bars, chocolate chips, and toasted marshmallows create a gooey finish.
Take a more elegant direction: Instead of stacking chocolate between graham crackers, it layers a crisp graham cracker crust with silky homemade chocolate pudding and crowns it all with a cloud of toasted marshmallows.
It’s everything you love about classic s'mores—just colder, creamier, and more refreshing on a hot day. That’s thanks to layers of creamy chocolate pudding, fluffy marshmallow filling, and crisp graham crackers that freeze into a treat you can easily slice and serve.
If you're feeding a crowd, this dip is hard to beat. Made with just three ingredients, it delivers all the gooey, chocolatey goodness of classic s'mores in one warm skillet. Serve it with graham crackers, pretzels, strawberries, or even cubes of angel food cake, and let everyone dig in.
S'mores aren't just for dessert! Wake up in the morning to these fluffy buttermilk pancakes with crushed graham crackers stirred into the batter and topped with chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, and chocolate sauce.
Get all the flavor and way less mess by making portable, snackable bars. A graham cracker crust is topped with a fudgy chocolate mixture then finished off with some broiled marshmallows. Best of all, they can be made a day in advance!
If you're a big fan of ice cream cones, listen up: You can make them even s'more delicious! Simply cover them in foil, fill them with chocolate, graham crackers, marshmallows, and more and then toast them over the fire until the insides get gooey.
Think of these delicious treats as a combination of a classic magic bar and a s'more. While the base is shortbread instead of graham cracker, you still get the toasty marshmallow and gooey chocolate flavors that everyone loves.
Here’s a classic, no-frills recipe for s'mores. All you'll need are the typical s'mores ingredients (marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers), a skewer or two, and a stovetop burner or outdoor grill. No campfire necessary!
Don't have time to bake? These no-bake s'mores bars usually take over an hour to make and chill, but they can be ready in 25 minutes if you're in a rush. It's a good thing, too, since kids and grown-ups alike will polish these off in a jiffy.
