S'mores with Homemade Graham Crackers
Toasted marshmallow and melting chocolate between crisp homemade graham crackers, campfire style.
Recipe in testing: I'm cooking it in my TM7™ and will update the steps and the photo with my own.
S'mores are the campfire treat every American kid knows: a marshmallow toasted until golden and gooey, pressed with a square of chocolate between two graham crackers, so good you always want some more. Making the graham crackers yourself turns a simple snack into something special, with honey, brown sugar, cinnamon and a toasty whole wheat flavor.
The Thermomix® TM7™ makes the cracker dough in less than a minute: it cuts the butter into the flours and brings everything together with honey and milk. Roll it thin between sheets of parchment, chill, cut and bake. Then toast the marshmallows over a fire pit, a grill or a gas burner and build your s'mores.

Instructions
- Place both flours, the brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and cold butter in the mixing bowl and chop 10 sec/speed 6, until it looks like fine crumbs.
- Add the honey, milk and vanilla and mix 20 sec/speed 4, until the dough clumps together. Divide it in half.
- Roll each half between 2 sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle about 3 mm (1/8 in) thick. Slide them onto baking sheets, still in the paper, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Peel off the top sheets of parchment, cut the dough into 6 cm (2 1/2 in) squares with a knife or pizza cutter, prick each square a few times with a fork and pull the squares slightly apart.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, turning the sheets halfway through, until golden brown at the edges. Recut the lines while warm and let the crackers cool on the sheets: they crisp as they cool.
- Thread the marshmallows onto long skewers and toast them over a campfire, charcoal grill or the flame of a gas burner, turning slowly, until golden outside and soft inside.
- Place a square of chocolate on a graham cracker, add a hot marshmallow, press a second cracker on top and slide out the skewer. Wait 30 seconds for the chocolate to melt, then eat.
Tips
- No fire? Set the crackers with chocolate and a marshmallow on a baking sheet and broil them in the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely, then top with the second cracker.
- Keep an adult in charge of the fire and the skewers, and let toasted marshmallows cool for a moment before little ones bite in: the inside gets very hot.
- The graham crackers keep 1 week in an airtight container. They are also great on their own or crushed for a pie crust.
