RITZ S’MORES COOKIES

Ingredients

  • 48 Ritz Crackers
  • 7 ounces marshmallow creme or marshmallow fluff
  • 24 ounces 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

Instructions

  • Place almond bark in a microwave safe bowl and melt according to package directions. (I like to do 30 seconds at 50% power, stir, repeat, until fully melted.)
  • Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper. Place half of the Ritz crackers on the baking sheets.
  • Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of marshmallow creme on the center of each cracker. (Grease your spoon for easy removal of the marshmallow.)
  • Place another Ritz on top of the marshmallow creme. Gently press the crackers together to create an even layer of marshmallow in between.
  • Use small tongs or a fork to carefully dip the s’mores cracker sandwich into melted chocolate. Tap the fork or tongs against the side of the bowl to remove extra chocolate and then place on lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining crackers.

To Decorate

  • If you’d like to decorate the top of the s’mores cookies, now is the time to do it. I like to use crushed graham crackers, marshmallow bits and mini chocolate chips but colorful sprinkles are also fun. We do red and green jimmies for Christmas!
  • Allow the cookies to set up until the chocolate is hard and enjoy!
