Step-by-step instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your own Fudge Stripe Cookie S’mores:
- Prepare your heat source (campfire, fire pit, or oven broiler) to a safe, manageable level.
- Thread a marshmallow onto a roasting stick or skewer.
- Hold it over the heat, rotating slowly until it turns golden brown and gooey (this should take about 1-2 minutes).
- Place one fudge stripe cookie, chocolate-side up, on a plate or napkin.
- Sandwich the roasted marshmallow between two cookies, making sure the chocolate sides are facing inward.
- Press gently to allow the marshmallow to spread out. Let cool for 1 minute before indulging.
- Repeat these steps for the remaining cookies and marshmallows. Enjoy warm for maximum gooeyness!

Storage and reheating tips
These Fudge Stripe Cookie S’mores are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, here’s how to keep them safe:
- Store any uneaten s’mores in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day.
- If you’re looking to keep them longer, you can put them in the fridge, but texture may be lost.
- Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds for a gooey treat, but be cautious not to overdo it — you don’t want molten marshmallow everywhere!
