Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 Ritz crackers
- 12 large marshmallows, halved
- 6 ounces (170 grams) milk or dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
Melting/Binding Ingredient:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
- Position the oven rack near the broiler and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange Ritz crackers with salted surfaces facing downward, creating a uniform base.
- Position a marshmallow half precisely centered on each cracker, ensuring even placement.
- Position the baking sheet under the broiler, maintaining low heat setting. Monitor marshmallows vigilantly, rotating the sheet if necessary to achieve uniform golden caramelization, which typically requires 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the tray and instantaneously press a second cracker atop each toasted marshmallow, creating a delicate sandwich with salted surfaces exposed.
- Utilize a microwave-safe vessel to melt chocolate, employing brief 20-second intervals and stirring meticulously between each heating cycle to prevent scorching.
- Incorporate coconut oil into the molten chocolate, whisking until achieving a silky, glossy consistency.
- Delicately submerge each marshmallow sandwich into the melted chocolate, coating approximately half the cookie’s surface. Allow excess chocolate to cascade back into the bowl.
- Transfer chocolate-dipped confections onto the parchment-lined tray, maintaining adequate spacing between each cookie.
- Refrigerate the tray for 15-20 minutes, permitting the chocolate to solidify completely.
- Serve immediately or preserve in an hermetic container for optimal freshness, consuming within three days.
Notes
- Marshmallow Mastery: Choose fresh, soft marshmallows for the best gooey texture and even toasting.
- Chocolate Control: Use high-quality chocolate chips or melting wafers for smoother, more consistent coating and richer flavor.
- Torch vs. Broiler: A kitchen torch provides more precise marshmallow toasting, preventing accidental burning compared to oven broiling.
- Gluten-Free Hack: Swap Ritz crackers with gluten-free crackers or graham crackers to make the recipe celiac-friendly without compromising taste.
