S’mores Whoopie Pies are 2 favorite sweet treats in one! It’s a graham soft cookie, filled with Marshmallow Buttercream and topped with melted chocolate. You will LOVE these!
I am a huge fan of turning pretty much every dessert into a S’mores version. I feel like I was born to do that actually, because my birthday is August 10th…
What does that mean?
Well, August 10th is NATIONAL S’MORES DAY!
So yeah. I’ve made S’mores Brownies, S’mores Cheesecake, S’mores in a Jar, S’mores Strawberries, Chocolate Chip Cookie Peanut Butter S’mores Bars…I could keep going and going…OR you could check out my S’mores Recipe Round Up.
Here’s what you do…
Crush some graham crackers up into a fine dust. You can use a rolling pin to smash them, or a blender or food processor.
You’ll need a cup and a half, which is about 9 full crackers smushed.
Mix up your batter.
It will look like this…
Drop the batter by the tablespoon onto a lined baking sheet.
They will look like this when they are all baked up…
Next you have to make them happen. Flip half of them over…
Then melt up your milk chocolate bars and give one side of your sandwich a schmear.
Don’t neglect the other side. Cover him with some marshmallow buttercream.
That’s it! Squish those two lovebirds together and you’ll get this…
Isn’t she gorgeous?

yeah, I’m a skimmer. I swam over here from pinterest a few minutes ago & was really enjoying your post on strawberry fudge. love your sense of humor & I’ll be back to read more of your blog. I am also LOVVVVVVING your 2 ingredient ice cream! Can’t wait to get started making my own home-made ice cream. I have it pinned under “YUM!” 🙂
My husband dont like citrus desserts either… just to let u now that im reading 🙂 This is my first time in your blog, and im already read like 4 or 5 stories… love them… Me encanta !!!!
i wiil try this one…. but here i cant find regular grahams cookies, just the one with honey.. i dont like the taste of them..
i will be reading you more often
This is SO totally what I’ve been looking for, for my son’s camping themed birthday party. I may actually tweek it a bit, and use nutella instead of the hershey bars. I’m sure the hershey bars are great, but c’mon….nutella? Hell yea.
And the electric eel thing would be cool, if it were true. I mean, not the getting bit part, but the glowing and powering your own house? AWESOME! Lol.
And I don’t wsim in the ocean either. We must be of the same relegion. Lol
Happy Baking!
In Arizona, I found an even faster way to spread the Hershey Bars: Just the drive home in the car across town melted the bars. I simply cut a corner off of a wrapper and spread the chocolate like frosting. Easy and no clean up! (And for those who are frugal, I ended up using only 3 bars of chocolate that way)
Good thinking 🙂
I just made the S’Mores whoppie pies and are you sure the flour ingredient was correct. Mine came out very flat and hardly workable. I am a very able cook and baker and also live in New England so I know a bit about Whoopie Pies. Looked at the comments and it seems everyone just loved the pictures and never made them…HMMMM just saying. They taste delicious though but stickly and very flat. I got this fropm Huffington Post so I figured it was reputable.
Thanks for the comment. I believe this is a reputable site…
However, i am sorry about your experience with the flattness of your pies…they are a thinner whoopie pie, more to mimic an actual s’more. But certainly you could add more flournor graham cracker crumbs to add height. The whoopie pies in the picture were made using this exact recipe.
You have sufficiently made me feel guilty about ever skipping straight to the recipe. However I must not be that bad of an offender if I feel guilty. Can’t wait to try these out, they look delicious. I’m not so sure I would authorize a boob grazing but I’ll definately be back for more yummy recipes and witty commentary.
P.S. Loved the vienna sausage story that went with the marshmallow buttercream, your mother sounds hilarious.
She was hilarious 🙂
Thanks for the comment!!
I read your blog… it reminded me of how when I’m cleaning the aquariums around town (that are sponsered by the local hatchery – where I volunteer), the fish will often times eat there own poop… but, they usually “spit” it right back out.
Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you for the smores whoopie pie idea (even though you said it’s not your invention- it’s the first time I’ve heard of this idea); it’s my husband’s and my anniversary on Wednesday and we’re going to go camping. I’ve been trying to come up with the perfect dessert, but was having a really hard time choosing what to do or buy. Then, I saw this today through a link that went from aol to huffington post to here and it was like the light bulb just came on… this is it, the perfect dessert for our camping trip – traditional, yet fancy enough to use in our celebration!
Thank you Cookies & Cups blogger!
Seeing as I am commenting on this post a month after you wrote it, you may think I found this off pinterest. But no, my baby has been barfing all day and just wants to be held. So instead of cleaning up my house or showering, I am catching up on your blog while holding said baby. I’m not feeling the love today, and it sounds like you weren’t either when you wrote this, so I just want to say as much as I love your recipes, I love your humor just as much. I wish you you could come to my house and watch the bachelorette while we eat something amazing. Thanks for providing a bit of humor to my barf filled day!
Your desserts always bring me here, but your whit and humor make my day 🙂
So I have a bunch of lemons that were just given to me, and followed a link for your lemon cake. However the pics of the smore whoppie pie have me intranced. I can appreciate wanting some sincere feed back when it looks like you do a lot of work with your blog. I love the close up photos and the step by step approach, It really is helpful. I will be giving this recipe a shot, and can barely stand the anticipation of enjoying them. I plan on making them for my sunday school class if they are simple as they look.
thanks for your hard work =)
