- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs - 1 cup rolled oats - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder - 1/2 cup peanut butter (or almond butter) - 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1/2 cup mini marshmallows - 1/2 cup chocolate chips You can swap the nut butter with sun butter or tahini if you need to avoid nuts. For sweeteners, try agave syrup or coconut sugar. If you want a different flavor, use white chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks instead of regular chocolate chips. This gives a fun twist to the S'mores taste. {{ingredient_image_1}} First, gather your graham cracker crumbs, rolled oats, and cocoa powder. In a large mixing bowl, combine these three ingredients. Mix them well so every bite has great flavor. You want to break up any lumps in the cocoa powder. Use a whisk or a fork for a good blend. This step makes sure the dry mix is ready for the next part. Next, take a microwave-safe bowl and add the peanut butter and honey or maple syrup. Heat this mixture for about 20 to 30 seconds. This warming makes it easier to stir. Once warm, remove it from the microwave and mix in the vanilla extract. Stir until smooth. Proper mixing here is key to a tasty cookie. Now it’s time to bring the dry and wet ingredients together. Pour the peanut butter mixture into the bowl with the dry mix. Stir until everything is coated and sticky. If it seems too dry, add a little more honey or peanut butter. After that, gently fold in the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips. These will add sweetness and fun. Next, line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Spread the cookie mixture into the dish. Press down firmly to create a solid layer. Chill the cookies in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps them set up nicely. Once they are firm, lift the cookies out using the parchment paper. Cut them into squares or bars. For serving, arrange the squares on a nice plate. You can drizzle melted chocolate on top for a sweet touch. Adding some extra graham cracker crumbs and mini marshmallows makes it look even better! To know if your mixture is too dry, look for a crumbly texture. It should hold together when pressed. If it feels wet, it may be too sticky. The key is to find a balance. If it's too dry, add a bit more honey or peanut butter. A little goes a long way. If it’s too wet, sprinkle in more graham cracker crumbs or oats. This way, you can adjust it to match your taste. You can add different flavors to your cookies. Try mixing in some cinnamon or a pinch of salt. These small changes can make a big difference. For a gooey texture, ensure your peanut butter and honey mixture is warm. Heat them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. This will help the mixture blend better and keep it soft. Make your cookies look special by arranging them on a pretty plate. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top for a fun touch. You can also sprinkle extra graham cracker crumbs and mini marshmallows on top. This adds a nice visual and makes them more fun to eat.
