S’more Cookie Dough Truffles (a recipe I originally guest posted on CocoandAsh.com) are an easy no-bake dessert candy with chocolate, graham crackers, and mini marshmallows just like campfire s’mores!
These are sure to be a hit with both kids and adults, especially with cookie dough desserts being so popular…
What Are S’more Truffles?
A candy chocolate truffle is a type of chocolate confectionery, traditionally made with a chocolate ganache center, coated in chocolate, cocoa powder or chopped toasted nuts (typically hazelnuts, almonds, or coconut), usually in a spherical, conical, or curved shape.
Their name derives from their resemblance to truffles, edible fungi of the genus Tuber.
These s’more truffles have cookie dough, studded with chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, rolled in crushed graham crackers, dipped in melted chocolate, and then each one is decorated with sprinkles of mini marshmallows and crushed graham crackers…Yum!

Who Invented S’mores?
There is quite a bit of debate about who invented the s’more, and no one knows for sure. However, one of the first published recipes for “some mores” was in a 1927 publication called Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts. Loretta Scott Crew, who made them for Girl Scouts by the campfire, is often given credit for the original s’more recipe.
More S’more Recipe History:
An early published recipe for a s’more is found in a book of recipes published by the Campfire Smores company in the 1920’s where it was called a “Graham Cracker Sandwich”. The text indicates that the treat was already popular with both Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
The term “s’mores” appears in conjunction with the recipe in a 1938 publication aimed at summer camps. A 1956 recipe uses the name “S’Mores”, and lists the ingredients as “a sandwich of two graham crackers, toasted marshmallow, and 1⁄2 chocolate bar”. A 1957 Betty Crocker cookbook contains a similar recipe under the name of “s’mores”.
The 1958 publication Intramural and Recreational Sports for High School and College makes the reference to “marshmallow toasts” and “s’mores hikes” as does its related predecessor, the “Intramural and Recreational Sports for Men and Women” published in 1949. (source Wikipedia)
Why the ‘S in S’mores?
S’more is simply an abbreviation of the phrase “some more”.

How To Make S’more Cookie Dough Truffles:
Step 1: In a medium bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, flour, milk, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup mini marshmallows.
Step 2: Place 4 graham crackers in a zip-lock bag, roll a rolling pin over it to crush the graham crackers. Place in a small bowl.
Step 3: Use a 1” scoop or small teaspoon, and roll into 1” balls. Then roll all 36 cookie dough balls in crushed graham crackers, and place them on a parchment lined tray.
Step 4: Freeze for at least an hour.
Step 5: Once truffles have chilled an hour or more, place a heatproof (metal) bowl, over a small pan filled water. Melt 3 cups of semi-chocolate chips and 3 teaspoons vegetable oil in double boiler. Stir until melted, and using 2 forks dip each truffle, you will need to roll it around until the chocolate coats each truffle.
Step 6: Place on a parchment-lined tray, and sprinkle with mini marshmallows and sprinkle crushed graham crackers right away while the chocolate is melted, go one by one so the toppings stick.
Step 7: Keep in the fridge on a small plate (covered with a zip-lock bag) until ready to enjoy! They will last a week refrigerated, and I have kept them in the freezer for up to 3 weeks. Keep them in an airtight container or on a paper plate sealed in a zip-top bag.
