Easy S’mores Ritz Cookies You’ll Want to Make Again and Again

• 3 tablespoons mini marshmallows: I like to scatter these on top for that classic gooey s’mores finish.

• 2 graham crackers, crushed: A little sprinkle of crumbs gives the perfect toasty crunch.

• 12 Ritz crackers: These add just the right amount of salty bite to balance all the sweetness.

• 4 tablespoons Jet Puffed marshmallow crème: This creates the soft, sticky center that holds the cookie sandwiches together.

• 10 oz Ghirardelli’s milk chocolate melting wafers: Smooth, rich chocolate makes the perfect coating for every bite.

You will also need a cookie mold.

Recipe Instructions

You can find a printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

1. Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 2 minutes on defrost mode, then stir. Continue melting for another 1 ½ minutes on defrost, stirring until smooth.

2. Spoon a layer of melted chocolate into the bottom of each cookie mold.

3. Spread marshmallow crème between two Ritz crackers to make little sandwiches, then place one into each mold. Repeat for all molds.

4. Cover the cracker sandwiches with more melted chocolate until each mold is filled. Freeze for about 10 minutes to set.

5. Add a few tablespoons of melted chocolate to a piping bag and drizzle over the tops of the molded cookies.

6. Finish by sprinkling mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs on top while the chocolate is still soft.

Serving & Storing

• I like to serve these chilled because the chocolate has a nice snap, but they’re just as tasty at room temperature if you prefer a softer bite.

• They look so cute on a dessert tray, especially with the marshmallow and graham toppings showing, so I often use them for parties or bake sales.

• If I’m making them ahead, I pop them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days.

• You can also freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag once solid. They thaw quickly and still taste amazing.

• For the best texture, I let them sit out for about 10 minutes before serving if they’ve been stored in the fridge or freezer.

Variations

• Sometimes I swap the milk chocolate for dark or white chocolate to change up the flavor. Dark chocolate gives them a richer taste, while white chocolate makes them extra sweet and pretty.

• Peanut butter lovers can spread a thin layer on the Ritz crackers before adding the marshmallow crème for a salty-sweet twist.

• I’ve also added a few mini chocolate chips inside the sandwich layer for extra chocolatey bites.

• For a festive touch, I like to sprinkle crushed peppermint candies or colorful sprinkles on top during the holidays.

• You can even use flavored marshmallow crème, like strawberry or caramel, to give these a fun surprise inside.

Substitutions

• If you don’t have Ritz crackers, buttery round crackers or even pretzel crisps work really well for that salty crunch.

• Regular marshmallows can replace the marshmallow crème if you melt them slightly and spread them quickly before they set.

• Any good-quality melting chocolate or chocolate chips can stand in for the Ghirardelli wafers, just make sure to melt them gently so they stay smooth.

• Graham cracker crumbs can be swapped with crushed digestive biscuits or even Biscoff cookies for a different but delicious flavor.

• Mini marshmallows can be replaced with chopped large marshmallows if that’s what you have on hand.

FAQs

• Can I make these ahead of time?
  Yes, these are perfect for making in advance. I usually prep them a day or two ahead and store them in the fridge. They keep their texture really well.

• Do I need a special mold to make them?
  Nope, a silicone mold makes things tidy, but you can just as easily spoon chocolate onto a lined baking sheet, sandwich the crackers, and cover them that way. They’ll still turn out delicious.

• Can I use a different type of chocolate?
  Absolutely. Dark, white, or even flavored chocolate works great. Just pick one you love because it’s the main coating.

• How do I keep the chocolate from cracking?
  I let them come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving. This helps prevent that sharp crack when you bite in.

• Can I freeze S’mores Ritz Cookies?
  Yes, they freeze really well. I place them in a single layer on a baking sheet first, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag once firm. They thaw quickly and still taste amazing.
