- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs - 1/2 cup rolled oats - 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips - 1/4 cup peanut butter - 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup - 1/2 cup mini marshmallows - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract - Pinch of salt Each ingredient plays a key role in making S’mores No-Bake Cookies. The graham cracker crumbs give a classic taste and texture. Rolled oats add heartiness. Dark chocolate chips provide rich flavor. Peanut butter adds creaminess. Honey or maple syrup acts as a natural sweetener. Mini marshmallows bring a fun, chewy element. Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor. The pinch of salt balances the sweetness. You can swap some ingredients if needed. Use almond butter instead of peanut butter for a nut-free option. If you want a vegan recipe, replace honey with maple syrup. For gluten-free cookies, look for gluten-free graham crackers. You can also use semi-sweet chocolate chips if you prefer a sweeter taste. Don't have mini marshmallows? Try using chopped larger marshmallows instead. {{ingredient_image_1}} Making S’mores No-Bake Cookies is a simple and fun task. You will mix dry and wet ingredients. Then, you form the cookies and let them chill. This process takes about 15 minutes of prep time. The chilling will take another 30 minutes. 1. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup of rolled oats, and a pinch of salt. Stir until these are well mixed. 2. Melt chocolate and peanut butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, add 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of peanut butter. Heat this in your microwave in 20-second bursts. Stir between each burst. Keep heating until it is smooth. 3. Combine mixtures: Pour the melted chocolate mix into the dry ingredients. Add 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix this until everything is well combined. 4. Add marshmallows: Gently fold in 1/2 cup of mini marshmallows. Make sure they are evenly spread throughout the mix. 5. Form cookies: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop or your hands to form small balls, about 1-2 inches wide. Place them on the sheet. 6. Shape cookies: Flatten each ball slightly to create cookie rounds. Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes. This helps them set properly. After chilling, they will be ready to enjoy. For a special touch, drizzle some melted chocolate on top and sprinkle crushed graham crackers. To make sure your cookies hold their shape, chill them in the fridge. After you form the cookie balls, flatten them slightly. This helps them set better. Use a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy removal. The parchment keeps them from sticking. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more graham cracker crumbs. This will help them firm up. You can change the flavors easily. Swap dark chocolate chips for milk chocolate or even white chocolate. If you want a nutty flavor, add chopped nuts or nut butter. Try using almond butter instead of peanut butter for a twist. You can also mix in spices like cinnamon or a dash of sea salt for a unique touch. These small changes can make a big impact on taste. Melting chocolate can be tricky, but I have some tips. Always use a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate in short bursts, about 20 seconds each time. Stir well between each burst. This helps prevent burning. If you see a few lumps, stir more. The heat from the melted chocolate will finish the job. You can also use a double boiler if you prefer. Just make sure the water doesn’t touch the bowl. This method gives you better control over the heat. Pro Tips Storage Tip: Keep the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness for up to a week. Texture Tip: For a chewier texture, try using old-fashioned oats instead of quick oats. Flavor Tip: Experiment with different nut butters like almond or cashew for a unique twist on the classic flavor. Chocolate Tip: Use a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips for a balanced sweetness that complements the other ingredients. {{image_2}} You can make your S’mores No-Bake Cookies even more fun! Add nuts like walnuts or almonds for crunch. You might also try coconut flakes for a tropical twist. Drizzle caramel or extra chocolate on top for a treat that looks great and tastes amazing. To make these cookies vegan, swap honey for maple syrup. Use dairy-free chocolate chips instead of regular ones. For gluten-free cookies, choose gluten-free graham crackers. These small changes keep the flavor while making them safe for different diets. Make these cookies fit the season! For fall, add pumpkin spice to the mix. In winter, use peppermint extract for a fresh taste. During summer, mix in fresh berries for a fruity twist. You can even shape them into festive forms for holidays. To keep your S’mores No-Bake Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container. This will help maintain their soft texture. You can layer cookies with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place the container in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight. If you want to save some cookies for later, freezing works great. First, let the cookies cool completely. Then, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze for about an hour until firm. After that, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. They can last up to three months in the freezer. These cookies stay fresh for about one week at room temperature. If you keep them in the fridge, they can last up to two weeks. Always check for any changes in texture or smell before eating. If they seem dry, try warming them a bit in the microwave. This can help restore some softness. Yes, you can! Almond butter and cashew butter work well too. Each nut butter adds a unique taste. If you want a nut-free option, try sunbutter. It mimics the taste of peanut butter and keeps the cookies safe for school snacks. If your cookies are crumbly, add a bit more honey or maple syrup. This helps bind the ingredients better. You can also mix in a little melted chocolate. Make sure to combine everything well so the cookies stick together. If they still crumble, press them firmly before refrigerating. To serve these cookies, place them on a rustic wooden board. Drizzle melted chocolate on top for a pretty look. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the cookies to add texture. This makes them look just like real s’mores. Enjoy with friends and family for a fun treat! You’ve learned how to make S’mores No-Bake Cookies from scratch.
