Graham Cracker Alternatives

S’mores are the perfect snack for eating around the campfire, and you can’t go wrong with the original combo of marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers. If you’re looking to shake things up with a new combo, try swapping out the graham crackers for another sandwiching tool.

You can use any cookie to smoosh together your gooey marshmallow and chocolate, but here are a few of our favorite options:

  • Keebler’s Fudge Stripes
  • Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • Waffle Cookies
  • Oreos
  • Ritz crackers
  • Chocolate graham crackers

  • Hershey’s Cookies n’ Cream
  • White or Dark chocolate
  • Peanut butter cups
  • Nutella
  • Salted chocolate
