I know I always say that I hate cooking and such but listen up, folks, because I’ve made an amazing culinary discovery that is so easy a monkey could make it. They’re a lot like s’mores—but 10,000 times better because they’re not all sickeningly sweet.
Prepare to fall to your knees and kiss my feet in gratitude, people. Well, unless you eat too many and gain a bunch of weight—I can’t be responsible for that—but because I care…repeat after me: “I will not eat too many of these even though they are awesome beyond all reason. I will practice self-control. Also? I will ONLY use these to bribe my kids when my sanity is truly on the line. Or I need them to stop beating the crap out of each other because black eyes will totally ruin our holiday photos”
Alright. Maybe I’m building this up a bit too much…but whatever. THEY ARE GOOD.What you need are Ritz crackers (regular or cinnamon sugar), semi-sweet chocolate chips and big marshmallows. Oh, and a toaster oven is helpful but I’m reasonably sure you could do these in a regular oven.
Preheat your oven to 350-ish and follow the instructions under these pathetic photos I took with my phone:
-
Put an even number of Ritz crackers on an baking pan (salt or sugar side up) and put five chocolate chips on each cracker.

Put marshmallow halves on half the crackers

Put baking pan in the oven and bake until marshmallows are golden on top. Watch them, though, because you don’t want to burn the crackers. Not that I would know anything about burning food. Ahem.

Take crackers with marshmallows on them and put on top of crackers with chips. Smush lightly and ENJOY!

That’s it. Easy peasy and nearly impossible to f*ck up. Unless you’re me ;)
The first person who makes these and sends me a photo of them will win something awesome. I don’t know what yet—and your idea of awesome and mine may widely differ but hey, you like to live on the edge, right? Okay then…send me a pic and let’s do this thang!
wow. that does sound good. i bet the saltiness of the crackers is awesome.
YES! It’s the sweet/salty/savory thing. They blow away s’mores.
This would never fly in our house, since we have a Chimenea, anything less that toasting the marshmallows over that open flame is unacceptable (to my princess).
If you were a silly Floridian with no fireplace or chimenea, your princess would love them!!!
You may have perfect smores. I HATE graham crackers.
And I thought I was the only one ;)
Yeah, I’m going to have to try that. Yum!
MMMM. I don’t like graham crackers, either. I like that the saltiness of the Ritz crackers keeps the s’mores from being too sweet, which was always my problem with them.
dude, I looooooove sweet with salty, I’m totally making this asap.
if they ever invent S’Beers, I’m there!!!
I think you’ve just come up with the NEXT. BIG. THING! Hurry and get your trademark and patent for S’beers before someone steals your idea.
yeah, better to try that with beer than wine….. I don’t think S’Wines would sell all that well…..
And the reason they are better (even though I love graham crackers, especially the ones from Trader Joe’s) is that they don’t involve FIRE and can be made in the oven! How easy is that? Even a slacker mom like I am can appreciate that one. ‘Cuz between martial arts and marching band and choir and middle school band and the school office and homework and dinner prep and…..you know, who has TIME for all the kitchsy, cutesy mom-stuff that the Stepford Moms are able to do? Sheesh…………

lol I think that line in your comment says it all!
We were searching for the best cookie recipe and came across your website! Is it bad that I just licked my monitor? Looooks yummy!
JUST made these with the kids! They LOVED them. I haven’t figured how many Weight Watcher points they are, but I totally splurged and had one. *LOL* Thanks for the great recipe. I have a feeling these will be a staple around our house from now on. :)
Will be posting them later on this week and I will link back to you for the recipe.
Oh I’m SO GLAD SOMEONE TRIED THEM!!!!!!!! AND LIKED THEM!!! It’s the easiest junk food ever that doesn’t come straight out of a bag so you get to be all “Oooh! We had a HOMEMADE snack”
Take THAT, Martha Stewart!
