ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

48 Ritz crackers
7 oz marshmallow creme (or fluff)
24 oz chocolate almond bark (or Ghirardelli melting wafers)

Optional toppings:

½ cup graham cracker crumbs
½ cup marshmallow bits
½ cup mini chocolate chips
½ cup sprinkles or jimmies

directions

Melt the chocolate almond bark according to package instructions—typically in 30-second microwave bursts at 50% power, stirring until smooth.
Line two baking sheets with parchment or wax paper.
Arrange half the Ritz crackers on the sheets.
Use a greased spoon to spread 1–2 tsp marshmallow creme on each cracker.
Gently press a second cracker on top to form a sandwich.
Dip each sandwich into the melted chocolate using tongs or a fork, tapping off any excess.
Return them to the baking sheet.
Immediately sprinkle your choice of optional toppings if desired.
Allow cookies to set until the chocolate hardens—about 15–20 minutes.

Servings and timing

Yield: 24 cookies
Prep time: ~15 minutes
Setting time: ~15–20 minutes
Total time: ~30 minutes

storage/reheating

Once the chocolate is fully set, I store these cookies in an airtight container. They stay fresh at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 5 days. If I layer them, I place wax or parchment paper in between to prevent sticking.
No reheating needed—they’re ideal straight from storage!

Variations

Use dark or white chocolate instead of milk for different flavor profiles.
Try Ghirardelli melting wafers in place of almond bark for a richer taste.
Swap marshmallow creme for halved marshmallows (trim the top so they’re sticky).
Experiment with fillings like peanut butter or Nutella for a fun twist.

FAQs

Can I use marshmallows instead of marshmallow creme or fluff?

Yes, I sometimes use jumbo marshmallows—cut in half and trimmed on top so they become sticky and adhere between the crackers.

What other filling works well besides marshmallow?

Peanut butter is incredible in this; its salty-sweet richness pairs delightfully with the chocolate and crunchy Ritz crackers.

Can I make these cookies in advance?

Absolutely. I often make them up to 5 days ahead—they stay delicious and fresh for several days.

Can I freeze these for later?

They can be stored in the fridge, but I don’t recommend freezing as it may affect the texture of the chocolate and crackers when thawed.

What’s the best way to make them look festive?

I love rolling the tops in crushed graham crackers, marshmallow bits, mini chocolate chips, or colorful sprinkles. For holidays, themed jimmies (like red & green at Christmas) really pop.

Conclusion

I’m always thrilled when I make these Ritz S’mores Cookies—they’re quick, fun, and unexpectedly nostalgic. Whether I’m entertaining guests or indulging in a simple sweet treat, they never disappoint. Give them a try and join me in the deliciousness!
