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.

Kara,
I love salted chocolate and caramel. What a brilliant idea!
kara says
Camping at “Camp Backyard” last night inspired me to use salted chocolate in our smores! Oh my, just a hint of salt in the midst of the sweet goo! Thank you, Alice.
Peggy says
Wow these sound great! I have a group of teenagers coming over here for a “pool” party this afternoon (if the thunderstorms hold off) so these will be great to make. We used to make ours Krackle (sp..) candy bars or imported chocolate which was laced with hazelnuts. The last time we made S’mores we used dark chocolate w/ candied orange peel. The dark chocolate paired with the sweetness of the marshmallows, to die for!
I think I’ll have to make a double batch and send the “leftovers” in with my son to band camp this after noon!!
Thanks for the great recipe!!

I made these the other night for a last minute get together. They were such a hit! Everyone loved them, and I especially loved that they only take a couple of minutes to make. I tried them hot and cold, and I have to say, I think I like them cold even better!
taylor says
my sister ate the whole batch in one day! i would have to say it turned out good 🙂

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…

What a great recipe for the late night sweet attack! At first I thought they were ice cream sandwiches. Very cool!
Yvonne says
oh my gosh, i’m SO tempted to go to the grocery store right now to make this….

great idea for smores

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.

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.
Krista says
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 🙂

i am now officially dying for some s’mores
alice says
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. 🙂
Ashley says
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!
Kamran Siddiqi says
S’mores! I love S’mores. They looks sooo good.
ingrid says
Thanks for sharing! This is a great idea for getting a hit of s’mores without starting a fire in the back yard! 🙂

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.
Janine says
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.
