I used to love making s’mores around a campfire, and this recipe is my go-to when I want those nostalgic flavors at home. The marshmallow creme gives a soft, spreadable filling, while the Ritz crackers bring a buttery, slightly salty contrast. A quick chocolate coating finishes them off for a satisfying handheld dessert.

One of the best things about these s’mores cracker cookies is how fast and simple they are. No oven or open flame required—just a few pantry staples and about 20 minutes from start to finish. They work well on cookie trays, at potlucks, or whenever you want a quick sweet fix.

Why you’ll love this recipe

  • Sweet and salty balance: The buttery Ritz crackers pair perfectly with sweet marshmallow creme and chocolate.
  • Quick and no-bake: Ready in about 20 minutes with minimal effort.
  • S’mores flavor, no campfire: All the classic flavors—graham cracker notes, marshmallow, and chocolate—without building a fire.
  • Customizable: Easy to vary with different fillings and toppings to suit your taste.

Ingredients

You only need a few simple ingredients, many of which are pantry staples.

Box of Ritz crackers, marshmallow creme, chocolate melts, crushed graham crackers, and marshmallow bits.
  • 48 Ritz crackers (to make 24 sandwiches)
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow creme (for easy spreading and stable texture)
  • 10 ounces milk chocolate melting wafers or chocolate almond bark (for dipping)
  • 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (optional, for sprinkling)

Can I use regular marshmallows?

Yes. Regular marshmallows can be used, though marshmallow creme is easier to spread and stays soft. If you use regular marshmallows, cut them in half, place them on a Ritz cracker, bake at 350°F for about 1 minute to melt slightly, then top with another cracker and allow to cool before dipping in chocolate.

How to make s’mores cracker cookies

This recipe comes together quickly. The full instructions are below.

Step one: Line a cookie sheet with wax paper and arrange 24 Ritz crackers on the sheet.

Step two: Place a small spoonful of marshmallow creme in the center of each cracker. Top with another cracker to form a sandwich, pressing gently so the filling spreads to the edges.

Step three: Melt the chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.

Step four: Use a fork to dip each cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate, covering it completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl before placing the cookie on the wax paper.

Step five: Immediately sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the chocolate, or add other toppings like mini marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, toffee bits, or sprinkles.

Step six: Let the chocolate set fully, then serve or store.

Recipe tips

  • Use fresh crackers: Fresh Ritz crackers are less likely to break while dipping.
  • Grease utensils: Lightly spray a spoon or knife with non-stick spray to spread marshmallow creme more easily.
  • Don’t overfill: A thin layer of marshmallow creme gives the best texture and prevents squeezing out when dipped.
  • Dip with a fork: A fork works well to fully coat the sandwich and let excess chocolate drip away.

Variations

These cookies are easy to adapt. Try a few of these ideas:

  • Peanut butter s’mores: Spread peanut butter on one cracker and marshmallow creme on the other before sandwiching.
  • Peanut butter cup version: Add a thin peanut butter cup on top of the marshmallow creme before closing the sandwich.
  • Caramel twist: Drizzle caramel sauce over the marshmallow creme before topping with the second cracker.
  • Toffee crunch: After dipping in chocolate, sprinkle toffee bits on top for extra crunch.
  • White chocolate: Use white chocolate melting wafers instead of milk chocolate for a different flavor.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best melting chocolate to use?

Chocolate melting wafers or chocolate almond bark work well because they melt smoothly and set with a good snap. Regular chocolate chips can be used but may need a little vegetable shortening to help with melting and smoothness.

Can I use different crackers?

Yes. Other crackers can be used, but after testing, Ritz crackers hold up well to dipping and provide a pleasant buttery, slightly salty flavor that complements the filling.
