Cookie Monster-Inspired S’mores
Ingredients
- Ghirardelli white melts (or blue candy melts) – available at Target, Publix
- Oil-based candy coloring (like Chefmaster) – only needed if using white melts
- Graham crackers – both honey and chocolate varieties
- Marshmallow fluff
- Mini Chips Ahoy cookies
- Candy eyes – found at most craft or baking stores
- Light blue melts or white chocolate dyed light blue (for drizzle)
- S’mores mold – fits standard graham cracker halves
- Blue piping bottle
Instructions
- Heat Ghirardelli melts in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each, until smooth. This usually takes about 1 minute and 30 seconds total. Once melted, stir in candy coloring. (Make sure it’s oil-based coloring like Chefmaster—regular food coloring will cause the chocolate to seize.) You can also use blue-colored melts.
- Spoon a layer of melted chocolate into each cavity of your mold, filling about 1/3 of the way. Tap the mold gently on the counter to evenly distribute.
- Press a honey graham square into each cavity, allowing the chocolate to rise slightly around the edges.
- Pipe a small amount of marshmallow fluff into the center of each cracker. Don’t overfill—when you add the second cracker, it’ll press the fluff down to cover the full cracker.
- Add a chocolate graham cracker on top and press gently. You want to leave space for the final chocolate layer.
- Spoon more melted chocolate over the top until each cavity is fully covered. Tap again to smooth and remove air bubbles. If any crackers float to the top, gently press them back down using a fork or knife so they stay level with the rest of the mold.
- Use an offset spatula to scrape and smooth the backs, removing excess chocolate from the edges.
- Refrigerate the mold for at least 30 minutes or until completely hardened.
- Flip the mold onto a parchment-lined tray. Gently press the back of each cavity with your thumb to pop them out.
- Melt the light blue chocolate and transfer it to a piping bottle or bag with a fine tip. Drizzle over one s’more at a time and immediately top with a mini Chips Ahoy and two candy eyes. (Do this one by one—the drizzle sets fast since the s’mores are cold.)
- Let your decorated s’mores sit at room temp or chill for 5–10 minutes more.
- These are best served at room temperature so the marshmallow stays nice and gooey.
