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
- Preparation: Align oven rack near broiler and line baking sheet with parchment. Arrange Ritz crackers salt-side down in neat rows.
- Marshmallow Toasting: Center marshmallow halves on crackers. Broil on low heat, rotating sheet to ensure even golden caramelization, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Sandwich Formation: Press second cracker onto toasted marshmallows, creating a delicate sandwich with salted surfaces exposed.
- Chocolate Melting: Microwave chocolate in brief intervals, stirring between each cycle. Incorporate coconut oil, whisking until achieving a lustrous, smooth texture.
- 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.
- 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.
