S’mores Blossom Kisses

S’mores blossom kisses are a fun, bite-sized treat that takes inspiration from classic campfire s’mores. They combine a soft graham cracker–flavored cookie base, a gooey marshmallow center, and a chocolate kiss on top. They’re simple, sweet, and perfect for parties, holidays, or anytime I want a nostalgic dessert with a twist.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love these cookies because they pack all the flavor of s’mores into one handheld bite—without the mess of a campfire. The graham cracker crumbs give the cookies a toasty sweetness, the marshmallow makes them gooey, and the Hershey’s Kiss on top ties everything together with chocolatey richness. I also like that they’re easy to make in batches, which makes them perfect for sharing.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Graham cracker crumbs

• All-purpose flour

• Baking soda

• Salt

• Unsalted butter, softened

• Brown sugar

• Granulated sugar

• Egg

• Vanilla extract

• Large marshmallows (cut in half)

• Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped

Directions

I start by whisking together graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, I cream butter with brown and granulated sugar until fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla. I slowly add the dry ingredients to form the dough.

I roll the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet. After baking until golden, I immediately press half a marshmallow into the center of each cookie and return them to the oven briefly until the marshmallows puff slightly.

As soon as they come out, I press a chocolate Kiss into the warm marshmallow. I let the cookies cool until the chocolate sets before serving.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 24 cookies. It usually takes me 15 minutes to prep, 10 minutes to bake, and another 10 minutes to cool, so they’re ready in around 35 minutes.

Variations

Sometimes I use flavored Kisses, like caramel or cookies ’n’ cream, for a fun twist. I also like rolling the cookie dough balls in sugar before baking for extra sweetness. For a gooier version, I leave the marshmallows whole instead of halved.

storage/reheating

I store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If I want them warm and gooey again, I pop one in the microwave for about 8 seconds to soften the marshmallow and chocolate.

FAQs

Can I use mini marshmallows instead of cutting large ones?

Yes, I often use 2–3 mini marshmallows per cookie, which saves time.

Do I need to chill the dough?

No, I usually don’t chill it, but if the dough feels sticky, chilling for 20 minutes makes it easier to handle.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I often bake the cookies a day in advance and store them covered until serving.

Can I freeze the dough?

Yes, I roll the dough into balls, freeze them on a tray, then bake from frozen with an extra minute or two added to the bake time.

Will the Kisses melt completely?

No, the Kisses will soften from the warm cookies but hold their shape, making them perfect for presentation.

Conclusion

S’mores blossom kisses are one of my favorite cookies because they take the classic campfire treat and turn it into an easy, shareable dessert. I like the balance of graham cracker flavor, gooey marshmallow, and chocolate all in one bite. Whether I make them for a party, holiday cookie tray, or just a sweet craving, they’re always a hit.
