1 package of Fudge Striped Cookies (about 20-24 cookies, depending on package size)
1 bag of large marshmallows (approximately 30 marshmallows to allow for extras)
Optional extras:
Mini chocolate bars (if extra chocolate is desired)
Caramel squares or drizzle
Peanut butter or Nutella
Crushed nuts, sprinkles, or coconut flakes
Equipment Needed
Skewers or roasting sticks: Ensure they are food-safe and long enough to keep your hands away from the heat.
Heat source:
Outdoors: Campfire, fire pit, or BBQ grill.
Indoors: Gas stovetop, oven broiler, or even a candle (for small batches).
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare Your Workstation
Set out all the ingredients and equipment on a clean surface.
Place the cookies in pairs, with the flat side facing up, for easy assembly.
If indoors, preheat your oven broiler or get your stovetop ready.
2. Roast the Marshmallows
For Campfire or Fire Pit:
Hold the marshmallow about 6 inches above the flame. Rotate it slowly for even roasting. Toast until golden brown, or let it catch fire briefly for a charred finish (then blow it out).
For Stovetop:
Use a low flame on a gas stove and hold the marshmallow just above the flame while rotating.
For Oven Broiler:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange marshmallows and broil on high for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
3. Assemble the S’mores
Take two fudge-striped cookies:
Place the roasted marshmallow on the flat side of one cookie.
Optional: Add a square of chocolate, caramel, or a spread like peanut butter or Nutella on top of the marshmallow.
Press the second cookie onto the marshmallow, with the chocolate-striped side facing outward. Gently squeeze until the marshmallow spreads slightly.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Let the s’mores cool for about 30 seconds before serving to prevent burned mouths from hot marshmallow.
Enjoy them warm for the best gooey texture!
Pro Tips for Success
Keep It Neat:
Pre-assemble your cookie pairs before roasting marshmallows to speed up assembly.
Use parchment paper to catch sticky messes.
Control the Sweetness:
If you prefer less sweetness, use mini marshmallows or try marshmallow fluff for a thinner layer.
Flavor Upgrades:
Add crushed peppermint candies for a festive twist.
Try flavored fudge-striped cookies like caramel or dark chocolate.
Make It Kid-Friendly:
Let kids decorate their s’mores with sprinkles or colored sugar for a fun activity.
Batch Preparation:
For larger groups, assemble a few s’mores on a baking tray and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 2-3 minutes to melt everything at once.
