Here’s the thing about me and s’mores, those classic graham cracker marshmallow and chocolate treats.
I do love them when they come out right, but I seem to have a knack for getting the marshmallow smooshy but not the chocolate, or vice versa.
It also involves having someone create a fire so that you can roast the marshmallows, and finding sticks.
And sometimes this all works out – here is the Southern husband with a couple of my dear ones having a marvelous s’mores experience!
But sometimes you just want a graham cracker/marshmallow/chocolate experience and you want it NOW and you want it to magically happen with the smallest amount of muss and fuss, and so here is the answer!
How To Make Mini S’Mores Cookies!
Pour a cup and a half of mini chocolate chips in a small bowl. (Why mini? Because they melt a whole lot faster than their bigger cousins). Pour a half cup of heavy cream into a small pot and bring it to a simmer over medium high heat.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips, let it sit for a couple of minutes and then stir it up with a whisk or a fork until it is smooth. Let it stand for 15 minutes to thicken up a little.
Carefully break 20 graham crackers into quarters and lay half the graham cracker quarters out on a cookie sheet. Spread each one with the chocolate mixture (a small offset spatula works great for this, but a knife works too!)
Spread some marshmallow crème over the rest of the crackers and put each one crème side down onto a chocolate spread cracker, pressing just the tiniest bit to get them to stick together.
You’ll have some chocolate left over – Put it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to melt it into drizzling consistency. Drizzle your cookies with the melted chocolate and let them sit until the chocolate cools and hardens up a bit.
If you have any left over (hahahaha!) they keep best in the fridge.
More tips for making mini s’mores cookies!
You might know it better as Marshmallow Fluff, and you can usually find it in the peanut butter and jelly section of your supermarket!
You can! I like the mini ones because the melt faster, and when I want these cookies I want them ASAP! Larger ones will take a little longer to melt, but they work just fine.
Technically yes…but if you want to experience maximum chocolate and marshmallow meltiness, it’s best to make them right before you eat them.
Cute little mini s’mores cookies with all of those flavors, all in perfectly melty form, and no campfire involved unless you happen to be sitting around one while you are eating these.
Which actually might be the best s’mores scenario of all!

If I happen to have marshmallows in the house & want something sweet, I’ll put a couple on a fork & toast them over a burner on my gas stove. Then I eat them plain or with graham crackers (or vanilla wafers) & chocolate chips. IMHO you can’t have a s’more without a golden (or blackened) marshmallow.
I hear you – everyone has their marshmallow dreams and requirements! :) One way or the other, happy delicious Monday to you!
