Ritz S’mores Cookies are an easy no-bake dessert that layers crispy, salty crackers with soft marshmallow fluff and rich chocolate for the perfect balance of crunchy, gooey, sweet, and salty.

Why you’ll love this recipe:

If you want a dessert that feels a little nostalgic, a little indulgent, and ridiculously easy to throw together, Ritz S’mores Cookies are it! They take everything people love about classic s’mores and simplify it into a no-bake treat you can make in minutes—no campfire, no oven, no stress.

The magic is in the contrast. You get the buttery saltiness of Ritz crackers, which isn’t something you’d normally expect in a dessert, paired with soft marshmallow and decadent chocolate. That salty edge actually makes the chocolate taste richer and the marshmallow taste sweeter.

It’s not just about flavor, either. The texture is what really sells it. There’s a light crunch when you bite in, followed by that soft, gooey marshmallow center. Then the chocolate sets around it all, giving you that satisfying snap.

They’re simple, but they don’t taste simple!

Ingredients you’ll need:

Ritz crackers
Marshmallow fluff
Milk chocolate chips
Vegetable oil
Marshmallow bits
Graham cracker crumbs

One of the biggest reasons people love this no bake treat is how easy it is to make. You don’t need baking skills or special equipment. If you can stack and melt, you can make these!

They come together fast, which makes them perfect for last-minute desserts, late-night cravings, or when you just don’t feel like turning on the oven. You can even make them with kids without worrying about complicated steps.

But more than anything, they’re just fun. There’s something satisfying about assembling them, dipping them in chocolate, and watching them set into a finished treat that looks way more impressive than the effort it took!

How to make the best Ritz S’mores Cookies:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, then place half of the Ritz crackers upside down on the baking sheet.
Add the marshmallow fluff into a ziploc bag, cut off one end, then pipe 2 tsp of fluff into the center of each cracker.
Place another Ritz cracker on top of the marshmallow fluff, lightly pressing the crackers together to ensure the marshmallow fluff has been distributed evenly.
Combine chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Working one by one, use a fork to coat the Ritz cookies into the melted chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then return to the lined baking sheet.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle each cookie with marshmallow bits and graham cracker crumbs.
Transfer to the fridge to set the chocolate coating before enjoying!

These Ritz S’mores Cookies also store surprisingly well, which makes them great for making ahead. You can keep them in an airtight container for a few days, and they’ll still taste just as good. They’re also great for sharing, but don’t be surprised if you end up keeping most of them for yourself!

If you’re bringing a dessert to a party or gathering, this is one of those recipes that stands out without requiring a ton of effort. People are always curious when they hear “Ritz crackers” in a dessert, and it usually turns into a conversation starter after the first bite.

Once you’ve made them once, it’s easy to start experimenting. You can switch up the chocolate, add a little peanut butter, or sprinkle some festive sprinkles on top to customize them for holidays or special occasions!

At the end of the day, Ritz S’mores Cookies are the kind of recipe you keep in your back pocket. They’re simple, reliable, and just different enough to feel special every time you make them.

My top tips:

LINING YOUR PAN: Don’t skip the step of lining your pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This is super important especially when covering the Ritz cookies in chocolate. Lining your pan prevents sticking and makes it easy to peel up the cookies once they’re chilled.
MARSHMALLOW FLUFF: Transferring the marshmallow fluff into a ziploc bag helps control how much you’re piping onto the crackers and in turn, keeps these nice and neat. You can also use the back of a spoon or offset spatula to add the marshmallow fluff, but this option can quickly be messy and sticky.
SANDWICHING: When sandwiching the marshmallow fluff with another Ritz cracker, you just want to press down lightly so that marshmallow fluff spreads to fill both crackers. Try to avoid pressing too hard because the marshmallow fluff will ooze out of the sides.
COATING: Adding vegetable oil to the chocolate chips helps the chocolate become super smooth and the perfect consistency for dipping. It also helps the excess chocolate drip off after coating the cookies because it’s a thinner consistency.
MARSHMALLOW BITS: You’ll want to use marshmallow bits here, not regular mini marshmallows. Marshmallow bits are smaller, and stay fresh for longer once exposed to air.
GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS: You can buy pre-crushed graham cracker crumbs from the store or crush your own. To do this, add the graham crackers to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until they reach your desired size, or place them in a Ziploc bag, and bang them with a rolling pin.
CHILLING: You can let these set at room temperature, but it will take hours for the chocolate to fully harden. To speed up the process, I recommend placing these Ritz S’mores Cookies in the fridge for 30 minutes to set the chocolate coating.
STORING: Once these cookies are fully set, I like storing any leftovers in an airtight container or Ziploc bag in a cool, dry place for 5-7 days.
