Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 12 large marshmallows, halved
• 12 assorted chocolate truffle candies (milk, dark, or white)
• Optional: chocolate chips or Nutella for extra filling

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Generously grease a mini muffin pan.
2. Make the Crust:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar.
   • Stir until the texture resembles wet sand.
3. Form the Cookie Base:
   • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each muffin cup.
   • Press firmly to create a crust on the bottom and slightly up the sides.
4. First Bake:
   • Bake crusts for 5–7 minutes until lightly golden.
   • Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes.
5. Add Marshmallows:
   • Place a halved marshmallow in the center of each crust.
   • Return to the oven for 2–3 minutes, just until marshmallows puff and start to brown.
6. Top with Truffles:
   • Immediately press a chocolate truffle into the warm marshmallow center of each cookie.
   • Optional: Add a small spoonful of Nutella or a few chocolate chips before topping with the truffle for extra richness.
7. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the cookies cool completely in the pan to set.
   • Carefully lift each one out using a butter knife or offset spatula.
   • Serve at room temperature or warm briefly for a molten center.

Storage/Reheating

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
To reheat for a melty center, microwave individual cookies for 8–10 seconds.
Avoid refrigeration, as it can make the crust soggy.
These are not ideal for freezing once assembled, but the crusts can be made ahead and frozen separately.

FAQs

Can I use mini marshmallows instead of halved large ones?

Yes, place 2–3 mini marshmallows in each cup for a similar result.

What kind of truffles work best?

Any solid chocolate truffle or bonbon will work—try Lindt, Ferrero Rocher (without wrapper), or your favorite brand.

Do I need to toast the marshmallows under a broiler?

No, a brief bake in the oven puffs and browns them nicely, but a quick broil can enhance color if desired—just watch closely.

Can I make these in a regular muffin pan?

Yes, but increase the crust and filling quantities and extend baking time slightly.

What can I use instead of graham crackers?

Digestive biscuits or crushed vanilla wafers work as substitutes.

Can I make them ahead of time?

Yes, bake and assemble up to a day in advance. Store covered at room temperature.

How do I remove them easily from the pan?

Let them cool completely and gently loosen edges with a butter knife. Greasing the pan well helps prevent sticking.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Use gluten-free graham crackers or cookies for the crust to make the recipe gluten-free.

Are these too sweet?

They are indulgent but well-balanced with the graham crust and chocolate. Using dark chocolate truffles can cut sweetness.

Can I use flavored marshmallows?

Yes, flavored or colored marshmallows can add a fun twist to the recipe.

Stuffed S’mores Cookies are a decadent reinvention of a beloved classic. With their buttery crust, gooey center, and rich chocolate topping, they capture all the nostalgia of campfire s’mores—no fire required.
