Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10-12 full sheets)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides to easily lift the bars out later. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, and sea salt. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a compact crust.
- Bake the graham cracker crust for 7-9 minutes, or until lightly golden brown around the edges. This helps set the crust and prevents it from becoming soggy.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate over the warm crust. Return to the oven for 1-2 minutes, just long enough for the chocolate to soften.
- Remove the pan again. Spread the softened chocolate gently with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to create an even layer. Immediately top with a generous layer of mini marshmallows, making sure they cover the chocolate completely.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed, golden brown, and delightfully gooey. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Let the S'mores Cracker Cookies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. This is crucial for clean cuts, as the chocolate needs to set.
- Once cooled and firm, cut into 12 squares or desired shapes. Serve and enjoy your homemade s'mores cracker cookies!
Notes
For an extra touch, drizzle with a little melted chocolate or sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving. If you prefer a less sweet treat, use dark chocolate chips. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, though they are best enjoyed fresh! Reheating briefly in the microwave can bring back some of the gooey magic.
