Description

Ritz s’mores cookies blend classic campfire flavors into a delightful sweet-salty treat. Chocolate, marshmallow, and graham cracker combine with crispy Ritz crackers for an irresistible dessert you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Ritz crackers
  • 12 large marshmallows, halved
  • 6 oz (170 g) milk or dark chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) coconut oil, optional for smoother chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Align oven rack near broiler and line baking sheet with parchment. Arrange Ritz crackers salt-side down in neat rows.
  2. Marshmallow Toasting: Center marshmallow halves on crackers. Broil on low heat, rotating sheet to ensure even golden caramelization, approximately 1-2 minutes.
  3. Sandwich Formation: Press second cracker onto toasted marshmallows, creating a delicate sandwich with salted surfaces exposed.
  4. Chocolate Melting: Microwave chocolate in brief intervals, stirring between each cycle. Incorporate coconut oil, whisking until achieving a lustrous, smooth texture.
  5. Dipping Process: Immerse each marshmallow sandwich halfway into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Place carefully on parchment-lined tray, maintaining spacing between cookies.
  6. Cooling and Setting: Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until chocolate hardens completely. Store in airtight container, consuming within three days for peak freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • Monitor Marshmallow Toasting: Watch carefully under the broiler to prevent burning, as marshmallows can quickly caramelize from golden to charred.
  • Chocolate Melting Technique: Use short microwave intervals and stir frequently to avoid chocolate seizing or developing burnt patches.
  • Proper Chocolate Dipping: Allow excess chocolate to drip off to create a clean, even coating and prevent thick, uneven chocolate layers.
  • Storage Recommendation: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature, separating layers with parchment to maintain crispness and prevent sticking.
