Homemade Chocolate Graham Cracker S'mores Recipe
- 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the rolling pin
- 1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 9 tablespoons creamy peanut butter or spiced cookie butter
- 27 large marshmallows
- 9 wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to avoid burning in the fire)
- Whisk together the flours, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Place the sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on medium speed until light and fluffy, stopping and scraping down the bowl halfway through, about 3 minutes total.
- Add the egg and beat until incorporated.
- Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Turn the mixer to low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients, and mix until just incorporated.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and shape them into 1-inch-thick squares.
- Wrap each tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange 2 racks to divide the oven into thirds.
- Unwrap 1 dough portion and place it on a sheet of parchment paper.
- Lightly flour a rolling pin, then roll the dough into a rough 10-1/2-inch square.
- (If the dough becomes too soft and difficult to handle, place it back in the refrigerator to firm up.)
- Trim the dough to make a 9-inch square.
- Cut the dough into 9 (3-inch) squares, but do not separate the squares.
- Slide the parchment and dough onto a baking sheet and set aside at room temperature.
- Repeat rolling and trimming the remaining portion of dough and place on a second baking sheet.
- Place both baking sheets in the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
- Rotate the sheets from front to back and top to bottom, and continue baking until the graham crackers are fragrant and crisp around the edges, about 7 minutes more.
- Remove from the oven and transfer the crackers on the parchment sheets to a work surface.
- Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Using your hands, break the crackers into squares using the marked lines as a guide.
- Immediately transfer the crackers to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store the chocolate graham crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For each smore, spread 1 tablespoon of the peanut or cookie butter on 9 of the graham crackers; set aside.
