The Easiest S’mores Recipe

Ingredients

Chocolate-covered cookies – This is such an easy way to get melty chocolate and crunch in every bite. We often use this Celebration brand of cookie, but any cookie with a layer of chocolate will do.
Marshmallows – We use store-bought marshmallows, but you can use homemade marshmallows if you’re feeling fancy.

Instructions

Start by purchasing cookies that already have chocolate on one side.
Grab your cookies and place them cookie-side down near the fire to let the chocolate melt.
Roast a marshmallow until it’s perfectly golden brown. Keep a close eye on it so it doesn’t burn. Pro tip: Rotating slowly over warm coals gives you the best results!

Use different ingredients, like a Hershey’s chocolate bar, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, or a Heath Bar for a fun twist.
Keep extra marshmallows in a sealed bag to prevent them from getting stale or sticky.
Have wet wipes or napkins handy—sticky fingers are inevitable, but that’s part of the fun!
