What Makes Girl Scout S’mores Cookies So Unique?
Out of all the Girl Scout cookies, S’mores may not be the most popular, but they have a long history. Back in 1927, the first published recipe for the famous graham cracker, chocolate, and hot, toasted marshmallows sandwich appeared as “Some More” in the Girl Scouts’ guidebook.
Despite enormous changes in the world since then, the recipe for S’mores has remained largely unchanged, and so has their popularity as the quintessential campfire treat.
Why You Should Try This Recipe
The genius of these chocolate-dipped Girl Scout S’mores lies in their perfect balance of textures and flavors. The marshmallow creme provides consistent sweetness and creamy texture without the mess of melted marshmallows. Graham crackers offer the essential honey-sweetened crunch, while the chocolate coating seals in all the flavors and adds luxurious richness. Chilling the assembled cookies before dipping ensures clean chocolate coverage and prevents the marshmallow from oozing out.
Copycat S’mores Girl Scout Cookies IngredientsÂ
For the Cookie Sandwiches:
- Graham crackers – Provide the essential honey-sweetened crunch and authentic s’mores flavor foundation
- Marshmallow creme – Creates smooth, consistent sweetness without the variability of melted marshmallows
For the Chocolate Coating:
- Chocolate melting wafers – Offer smooth, easy-to-work-with coating that hardens to a perfect consistency
- Vegetable oil – Helps thin the chocolate for easier dipping and creates a glossy finish
Marshmallow creme is a spread made to simulate the flavor and texture of melted marshmallows. The most popular version is Marshmallow Fluff, but there are other options. Or, you can always make your own.
Chocolate melting wafers are the easiest to use in this recipe, but you can also use other forms of chocolate. Using milk chocolate in S’mores is traditional, but feel free to experiment with dark or even white chocolate as an alternative.Â
How to Make Girl Scout Cookie S’mores
To prepare the marshmallow sandwich cookies:
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.Â
- Spread half of a graham cracker square with the marshmallow creme.
- Place another graham cracker square on top to make a sandwich, and put it on the parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining graham crackers.Â
- Put the baking tray in the fridge for an hour to set.Â
- About five minutes before removing the baking tray from the oven, start melting the chocolate.
To dip in chocolate:
- Place the chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl.Â
- Heat the chocolate in the microwave at 50% power for 1 minute.Â
- Remove the bowl from the microwave, stir, and add the vegetable oil. Stir again to combine.Â
- Return the bowl to the microwave and heat for 30 seconds at 50 percent power. Stir. Continue heating and stirring in 30-second intervals until the chocolate has melted and become smooth.
- Use a chocolate dipping fork or a table fork to dip the cookies in the melted chocolate. Dunk the cookie entirely in the chocolate and allow it to drain before placing it back on the wax paper-lined baking trayÂ
- Repeat with the remaining cookies. Work quickly, but you may need to reheat the chocolate in the microwave.Â
- Allow the dipped cookies to harden in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.Â
What Can You Serve With S’mores Cookies?
A cold glass of milk is always welcome, as is a cup of coffee or tea.Â
Storage & Reheating Instructions
- Serving Temperature: Remove from refrigerator 10-15 minutes before serving to allow chocolate to soften slightly for optimal texture.
- Refrigerator Storage: Store in flat, airtight containers with wax paper between layers for up to 1 week. Keep refrigerated to prevent the chocolate from melting.
- Freezer Storage: Freeze for up to 2 months in airtight containers with proper layer separation using wax paper.

- 1 7-ounce jar marshmallow creme
- 1 11-ounce bag chocolate melting wafers
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 12 graham cracker squares on the parchment paper.
- Cover each graham cracker square with marshmallow cream, spreading evenly with a butter knife. Be sure to coat the entire surface.
- Top each cookie with the second graham cracker square, placing it evenly on top to match the bottom. You will want to gently press the top graham cracker square down slightly to adhere to the marshmallow cream. Do this for each cookie, making sure they do not touch.

- Near the end of the chill time, begin to prepare your melting chocolate.
- Add the chocolate wafers to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 1 minute.
- When done, stir well and add the vegetable oil. Microwave on 50% power for 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is silky smooth.
- Using two forks or dipping tools, dip each cookie into the melted chocolate, covering it completely before placing it back on the baking sheet.
- Repeat this process, working one cookie at a time.
- When all cookies are covered in chocolate, place them back inside the refrigerator for 1 hour.
