Last night I was being a bad desperate housewife. I was hungry, craving chocolate, and in dire need for a late night snack. Fortunately for me I found a box of graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate chips. Incidentally, did you know Honey-Maid now makes graham crackers pre-cut for smores specifically? Cool huh?
To make a long story short, I made Smores cookies using the broiler function in my oven. This is a great way to make your favorite camping treat eating it warm or cold. By broiling the marshmallows and chocolate, the marshmallow edges turn nice and golden brown similar to cooking them over a campfire with a nice crispy outer shell. What I love about these cookies is the versatility of eating them warm and gooey, or waiting for them to completely cool and eating them as a smores cookie. Either way you’re in for a treat. And as an FYI, these are incredibly addicting when they have completely cooled and served as a cookie. Because I feel guilty I will disclose I ate 3 of these right out of the oven within 5 minutes and ate 2 right as I woke up for breakfast this morning. Enjoy!
SMORES COOKIE RECIPE
Ingredients:
1 box of Honey-Maid Graham Crackers Pre-Cut for Smores
1 bag of mini marshmallows
1 bag of chocolate chips
Directions:
Pre-heat oven on Broil (High heat) with baking rack 2 notches down from the top. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place one sleeve of graham crackers side by side in rows without any gaps. Next, spread mini-marshmallows evenly across the graham crackers and top them off with chocolate chips.
Place the cookie sheet in the oven with the door slightly cracked. Broil for approximately 5-10 minutes carefully watching them so they don’t burn. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven when the marshmallows have nice golden brown edges. Add the remaining sleeve of graham crackers on top of the broiled smores and line them exactly like the first sleeve and press each one down gently. Allow them to cool for a few minutes and serve. Each cookie should pull away perfectly hot or cold.
*If you would like to serve these as regular cookies, allow the smores to cool for at least an hour. Pull each cookie apart and serve. Graham crackers will be nice and crunchy and the marshmallow filling will be firm but chewy. The chocolate will be hardened but tastes great in this treasured classic.

Do you even need to ask who wants one? I’ll take the whole tray.
I already confessed to you I ate 3 last night. But what I didn’t tell you last night is that I ate 2 for breakfast. And I am afraid the whole tray is almost gone. But don’t worry, I didn’t eat them all. I left about 5 for each member of my family. I am a desperate housewife I tell you. I like them cooled even better than the classic warm, straight from the fire smores. They are like crack.
thank you for such amazing information.
Good idea! I never thought of using the broiler. I have a gas stove and I stick the marshmallows on a fork and toast them over the burner and then make s’mores. But I could get a whole tray of s’mores with the broiler!
hungry, craving chocolate, and in dire need for a late night snack?? Welcome to my life! I swear that’s me every night, lol. Brilliant idea to make them in the oven like that.
Fantastic idea… and they look absolutely delicious! I love smores… sometimes the hubby and I toast marshmallows over the gas burner on the stove!
Smores are my hands-down favorite dessert. I can’t exaplain it, but something about the melted chocolate and marshmallow just makes me lose all self-control. I am making a tray of these for the holiday weekend. Thanks for the recipe – and your photos are beautiful!
This is a winner, and it’s totally hard to only eat just 5…you feel the need to demolish all of them!
I must admit that the first time I heard about this treat I was disgusted, but all it took was a bit to fall in love with it, LOL
Lovely pictures
I just made indoor smores the other night because I was craving them so bad! Yours look like a perfect possibility and less messy than mine ended up.
Perfect! We’re doing smores tomorrow for a party, and this is great timing. I was just going to microwave them!
Ha! The last thing I need is someone telling me I can make smores easily and conveniently in my kitchen! Those look fantastic.
YUM – how great to those smores look!
OK your brilliant – What a great way to make these babies when you don’t have fire around! How fun!!
i can’t believe no one’s thought of this before! great idea!
Tovie and Jen: It is way easier and time-saving to make them in the oven, not to mention you can make one huge batch at once. No more fighting over the burner now.
Sara: Yes, I’m glad you understand the late night desperate housewife thing. Sadly, most nights this sort of thing happens on a daily basis.
Allison: I’m glad you found the recipe just in time for your holiday weekend. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have had eating them. Please come back and report how long it took for them to all disappear. This way I won’t feel so bad.
Oneshotbeyond: Messy always tastes better.
I’m sure yours turned out great. Fortunately for us, our stomachs don’t discriminate based on appearance.
Laura: I used to microwave them to when I just wanted one. Only problem with microwaving them is sometimes the cracker softens up. This way you keep the integrity of the crunchiness in the graham. Besides, now you can make a big batch for your party. Hope you have fun!
Danica: They may look great, even better when devoured.
Cathy: Brilliant? Not really, but thank you for the compliment. I will add it to my about me page. j/k
Justine: Funny.. I never thought about that. Refer to my response to Cathy.
Thanks everyone, I really appreciate all the comments. Now don’t you want s’more?
This looks so good!!! I love s’mores!!! Every time I hear the word “s’more” it makes me think of “The Sandlot” when the kid says “Do you want a s’more” and the other kids says “Some more? I haven’t had anything yet, so how can I have some more of nothing?” Sorry that was random but good post!!!
Nutmeg Nanny: That was the most funniest comment I have ever received. I laughed reading it because I totally remember that scene in Sandlot. Too funny. Thanks for the laugh.
Brilliant!!!!! I may have to try this tonight. =) Thank as as always for sharing.
This summer you need to try gourmet s’mores. marshmallow, graham crackers and a peanut butter cup instead of chocolate.
Julie: I have a feeling in these will go fast in your family.
Jamie: Why did you have to tell me peanut butter cups? I can already feel them on my thighs.
Damn that takes me back to so many boy scout campfires. Haven’t thought about that in years. =)
Garrett: Please tell me you’ve had s’mores since being a boy scout. Otherwise I will have to bake a batch of these for you and send them to you.
Oh Alice, I would like a whole tray of that please! Really now,I could eat this any time of the day.I followed you from the foodieblogroll and I just love your site. Hope you wont mind,I’d love to guide our readers to your site, just add this foodista widget to this post and it’s all set to go, Thanks!
Came to you today via your listing in the food blogroll…you’re a great photographer! I loved what I saw.
Smores are my all time favorite snack. I don’t eat them often because I don’t have all the makings and they’re not quite the same unless the marshmallows are toasted. EXCEPT I have my toaster oven and NOW I have every tool to make them!!! Yay! Beautiful pictures here, too! I can almost smell them toasting now…
Alice,
This is brilliant! Congrats on making the top 9 on FB too!
Jim
These are awesome! What a simple idea and guess what. I’ve already made them…twice! My brothers absolutely raved over them, and (I was being especially blonde the first time I made them-I counted every two squares I put down on the first layer as being 1 smore-and ended up having double what I intended to make! LOL!) my older brother took the extras to work and none came back! Thank you Alice.
Alisa: I couldn’t figure out that widget
Joan: TY. I try to practice everyday.
Jim: You always bring a smile to my face when you visit. TY for letting me know about Foodbuzz Top 9, I had no idea.
Debbie: You go girl! A toaster oven would work perfect.
Janine: You are so sweet to come back and post your results. TY! It always makes me happy to hear when ppl try my recipes and enjoy them. I’ve made a couple more batches since. I’m a s’more addict.
Thanks for sharing! This is a great idea for getting a hit of s’mores without starting a fire in the back yard!
~ingrid
S’mores! I love S’mores. They looks sooo good.
So, when I was a kid, I’m pretty sure I tried to make smores in the microwave… I wish I’d figured out that the oven would have been a better choice! Yum!
Ingrid: The best part about the recipe is being able to make big batches at once. Although making them in the backyard seems fun too!
Kamran: You want s’more?
Ashley: I used to make them in microwave too. Kind of miss watching the marshmallow blow up super big.
i am now officially dying for some s’mores
I made these just now… somehow I managed to only eat one… it was delicious. I had a problem getting the marshmallows to stay on the gram crackers… but they pulled apart with all the extra marshmallows attached. I baked a small batch so even if I did decide to eat all of them it wouldn’t be a LOT.
I went with cheap chocolate, which I won’t do again. I think if I switched it out with regular chocolate, it would be perfect.
I’m stuck on these darn food blogs thanks to http://www.foodgawker.com. That site is something evil, leading me to these late night s’mores
Awesome recipe… thanks much
These smores look incredibly delicious. I’ll keep them in mind for a quick and easy dessert when I have no time make a cake.
Loved this twist. However, back in the days beyond recall at Girl Scout camp, we made these with saltines instead of Grahams. And, since this is Savory-Sweet site,I thought you might be open to trying and commenting. I seem to get just blank looks (or the cyber equivalent) when I suggest this. Please, try it, you’ll like it. Something about the salt-sweet combination, less cloying than the grahama–and crispier too.
great idea for smores
oh my gosh, i’m SO tempted to go to the grocery store right now to make this….
What a great recipe for the late night sweet attack! At first I thought they were ice cream sandwiches. Very cool!
LOVE your honesty, lol, b/c it hits home! I usually do my marshmallow in the microwave then put on top of the graham cracker and chocolate bar to melt…but this sounds like a winner, and I have the ingredients here plus it will make a great little activity for the kids to do with me–my middle guy LOVES to bake/make things.
I also saw a little smores maker that looked neat at the store a few weeks ago…
