Expert Tips for Success
Don’t walk away when broiling; marshmallows burn fast!
Press the marshmallow down gently after broiling to help the toppings settle.
Use a silicone mat if you don’t have parchment paper.
Try doubling up on chocolate for a more decadent bite.
Variations and Customizations
Try swapping Chips Ahoy for Graham Crackers if you want a classic s’mores taste. You can add toppings like crushed peanuts, caramel drizzle, or even sprinkle some flaky sea salt for a grown-up twist. For a festive touch, use holiday-themed marshmallows or cookies.
Nutritional Information
Each serving contains roughly 120 calories, mostly from sugars and fats. You get about 2g of protein and several carbs from the marshmallows and cookies. While not the healthiest choice, it’s okay for an occasional treat! To cut calories, use sugar-free chocolate or mini cookies to reduce portion size.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
If you miraculously have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 5-10 seconds to soften the marshmallows and chocolate without turning them into a sticky mess.

All Your Questions About This Recipe
Can I make these ahead of time?
While they’re freshest when just made, you can prep the cookies with chocolate and marshmallows and broil them when ready to serve.
Can I use other cookies?
Absolutely! Graham crackers, Oreos, or even homemade cookies work fine, but the texture may vary slightly.
How do I prevent the marshmallows from burning?
Keep a close eye on them while broiling, as it only takes 1-2 minutes for them to brown perfectly.

Yes! Use gluten-free cookies and double-check the marshmallows and chocolate for gluten-free labels.
