Instructions:
- Prep Your Cookies: If you’re using store-bought cookies, make sure they’re relatively soft and chewy, not hard and crunchy. If you’re making homemade cookies, slightly underbake them for that extra gooeyness factor.
- Roast Your Marshmallow: Carefully roast a marshmallow or two over the campfire until it’s golden brown and oooey gooey (or however you like it – team crispy edges here!).
- Assemble Your S’more:
- Place a piece of chocolate on top of one cookie.
- Slide the roasted marshmallow onto the chocolate.
- Top with the second cookie.
- Gently press together to let the warm marshmallow melt the chocolate.
- Enjoy Immediately!: These are best enjoyed warm, while the marshmallow is gooey and the chocolate is melted.
Tips for Campfire Cookie S’more Success:
- Cookie Choice: Soft and chewy cookies work best. Avoid cookies that are too thin or crispy, as they might crumble.
- Chocolate Choice: Hershey’s bars are classic, but you can use any type of chocolate you like (dark chocolate, milk chocolate, even peanut butter cups!).
- Marshmallow Roasting: Roast your marshmallow slowly and evenly to avoid burning it.
- Safety First: Always supervise children around a campfire.
- Don’t Overstuff: Don’t use too much chocolate or marshmallow, or the s’more will be difficult to eat. (Messy hands are inevitable though!)
Variations:
- Peanut Butter Cup S’mores: Use peanut butter cups instead of chocolate bars. 9Pair with peanut butter cookies for extra yum!)
- Cookies ‘n’ Cream S’mores: Use cookies ‘n’ cream chocolate bars.
- Nutella S’mores: Spread a thin layer of Nutella on the cookies before assembling. This hack makes it hard to stop at just one!
- Different Cookies: Try using different types of cookies (e.g., oatmeal cookies, double chocolate cookies, M&M cookies etc).
- Add Sprinkles – because why not! 🎉
