S’mores Cracker Cookies: Ingredients & Equipment
To make these S’mores Cracker Cookies, you will need …
Ingredients
- Ritz crackers and marshmallow creme – these two ingredients comprise the cookie part of the recipe.
- chocolate almond bark – you’ll melt this and dip your cookies into it for a fantastic chocolatey-marshmallowy treat! Make sure you melt it evenly in 30-second intervals or so since you want to avoid the chocolate clumping together.
- crushed graham crackers, marshmallow bits, and mini chocolate chips – optional toppings for your yummy s’mores cookies!
Equipment

- bowl – to melt your chocolate.
- wax paper – to hold your cookies before and after they’ve been dipped in the chocolate.
How to make S’mores Cracker Cookies
These unique cookies are a cinch to put together.
First, melt the chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate almond bark, in 40-second intervals, until it’s completely melted.
Second, assemble your s’mores. Next, place the Ritz’s crackers on a long sheet of wax paper and add a small dollop of marshmallow crème to the center of half the crackers. Finally, place another cracker on top of the marshmallow crème. Press the crackers together, ensuring the marshmallow crème has been distributed evenly.
Third, dip the cookies in chocolate. Use tongs to grab a cracker sandwich and dip it into melted chocolate. Carefully tap tongs on the side of the bowl to remove extra chocolate from the crackers. Place the dipped cracker onto the wax paper.
Finally, add toppings and enjoy! Sprinkle graham cracker crumbles, tiny marshmallows, and mini chocolate chips on top of the cookies, if you want! Then allow the chocolate to harden and chow down.

Believe it or not, I actually recommend the Ritz brand specifically for this recipe. Usually, I’m all about saving money with other non-name brands … but Ritz crackers don’t break as easily as other brands.
Absolutely!! If you’re big into mint, vanilla, or any other flavor, you can add the extracts after you’ve melted the almond bark.
