To make S’mores No-Bake Cookies, gather these tasty ingredients: - 1 cup graham cracker crumbs - 1/2 cup rolled oats - 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips - 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter - 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup - 1/2 cup mini marshmallows - 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract - A pinch of salt Each ingredient plays a special part in the recipe. The graham cracker crumbs give a crunchy base and a taste of classic s'mores. Rolled oats add texture and fiber, making these cookies a bit heartier. Dark chocolate chips bring rich flavor and sweetness, while smooth peanut butter adds creaminess and depth. Honey or maple syrup acts as a sweetener and helps to bind everything together. Mini marshmallows provide that gooey s'mores feel and a fun chewiness. Pure vanilla extract enhances the flavors, and a pinch of salt balances the sweetness nicely. When you have all your ingredients ready, you can start making these easy and tasty treats! {{ingredient_image_2}} Start by gathering your dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup of rolled oats, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk to blend them well. This step is key for a tasty base. Next, melt the dark chocolate chips. Place 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of smooth peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring each time. Continue until smooth. This mix brings the sweet flavor. Once melted, pour the chocolate mix into the dry ingredients. Add 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup and 1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Stir until everything combines into a thick batter. This is your cookie dough! Now, it's time to shape the cookies. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop or your hands to form balls of dough about 1-2 inches wide. Place them on the sheet. Gently flatten each ball to form cookie rounds. Finally, set the cookies in the fridge. Chill them for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up and hold their shape. Enjoy the wait as the magic happens! To get the best texture, use fresh ingredients. Old graham crackers can be stale. Check your oats too. A mix of crunchy and soft textures makes a great cookie. If you want a firmer cookie, add more oats. For a softer bite, add more peanut butter. Make your cookies look nice. Use a rustic wooden board to display them. Drizzle extra melted dark chocolate on top. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers for that classic look. You can also add mini marshmallows on top for fun. This adds color and texture. Serve these cookies at parties or family gatherings. They are great with milk or hot cocoa. You can also pack them for picnics. Store them in a sealed container for freshness. Enjoy them as a quick snack or dessert. Pro Tips Use Fresh Ingredients: Always opt for fresh mini marshmallows and high-quality chocolate chips to enhance the flavor of your cookies. Chill for Better Texture: Allowing the cookies to chill for at least 30 minutes helps them firm up, making them easier to handle and improving the texture. Experiment with Nut Butters: Swap out the peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for a unique twist on flavor and texture. Customize Your Cookies: Feel free to add in extras like chopped nuts or dried fruits to personalize your s'mores cookies even more! {{image_4}} You can easily change the flavor of your S’mores No-Bake Cookies. Here are some fun add-ins: - Chopped nuts: Walnuts or almonds add crunch. - Dried fruit: Raisins or cranberries bring sweetness. - Coconut flakes: Unsweetened coconut gives a tropical twist. If you want to swap ingredients, you can use: - Almond butter instead of peanut butter for a nutty flavor. - Agave syrup in place of honey for a vegan option. - Rice cereal for a crunch instead of oats. To spice up the flavor, think about adding: - Mint extract: Just a drop can give a fresh taste. - Espresso powder: This adds a rich coffee flavor. - Cinnamon: A sprinkle adds warmth and depth. You can also use different chocolate types. Try white chocolate or milk chocolate for a sweet twist. To make these cookies vegan, choose: - Maple syrup instead of honey. - Vegan chocolate chips to skip dairy. - Sunflower seed butter if you have nut allergies. These changes keep the cookies tasty while fitting a vegan diet. You won’t miss the dairy or eggs! To keep your S'mores No-Bake Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container. Place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Keep them in the fridge if you want them to last longer. These cookies taste best chilled, and the cold helps them stay firm. You can freeze these cookies for later enjoyment. Wrap each cookie tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. To eat, thaw them in the fridge overnight or at room temperature. This way, they stay tasty and fresh. When stored properly, S'mores No-Bake Cookies can last up to one week in the fridge. If frozen, they can last for about three months. Just remember, the longer they sit, the softer they may become. Enjoy them while they are fresh for the best taste!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preparing your dry ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, rolled oats, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the mixture is evenly blended.
  • For the chocolate mixture, take a microwave-safe bowl and add the dark chocolate chips along with the smooth peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is fully melted and has a smooth consistency.
  • Once melted, pour the chocolate-peanut butter blend into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until you achieve a cohesive batter.
  • Carefully fold in the mini marshmallows, ensuring they are well distributed throughout the mixture without breaking them apart.
  • Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form small balls of dough, roughly 1-2 inches in diameter, and place them on the lined baking sheet.
  • Gently flatten each ball to create cookie rounds, giving them a more traditional cookie shape.
  • Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the cookies to set and firm up.

Notes

Arrange the cookies on a rustic wooden board for a charming presentation. Drizzle extra melted dark chocolate on top and sprinkle crushed graham crackers for added appeal.
