Lately it’s been quite rainy where I live. In southern California terms a lot of rain means once or twice a month at most, so whenever the skies here turn grey I rejoice. These are the days when our family hunkers down by the fireplace to play board games, read piles of books and, of course, make s’mores. Hubby and I have done this with Kenya and Chloe a few times in the past couple of months alone and now, whenever the kids see so much as a drop of water falling from the sky they’re pulling out the now not-so-hidden bag of marshmallows from the pantry. I always keep the other ingredients — graham crackers and Nutella (by the way, if you’ve never tried this chocolate hazelnut spread to make s’mores in place of a bar of chocolate, the time to start is now) — close by.

So there we were last month, sitting by the fire, gently toasting our marshmallows when Chloe said, “I wish I had a chocolate graham cracker”. You can’t feel too bad for a 3 year-old fantasizing about a chocolate graham cracker while she’s got a mouth full of s’mores, but her idea really got me thinking. The next day I went straight to the kitchen and came up with Chloe’s dream cookie. It’s mainly a graham cracker but packs a bang of chocolate in each bite making them unbelievably delicious and the ultimate kid treat!

  1. So great to hear this! It can take some time for kids to get used to the less sweet versions of things like cookies. 🙂

  2. Turned out well. My daughter loved them – she ate four and asked for more. My son didn’t reject it but didn’t want more after one. I think he expected something sweeter from a cookie. I personally like that this recipe doesn’t ask for much sugar. Tastes good. Makes me feel good about giving them to kids.

  3. i just made these today and they are wonderful! thank you for an amazing recipe! Delicious!

  4. I made these last night to put in my children’s lunch boxes! They turned out great! Mine were a happy marriage between a graham cracker and a rich chocolate cookie! I think my children will be happy when they find these today:) Thank you for sharing.

  5. […] make the graham crackers I used the Chocolate Graham Cracker recipe from my Weelicious […]

  6. […] made homemade Graham Crackers (chocolate recipe here.) For party favors. It was so good! My sister-in-law said it tasted just like teddy […]

  7. Hi Catherine, I’ve made your other graham cracker recipe and they were a hit so I wanted to try these out. I used raw honey, but noticed the dough was really crumbly. I’ve never used a solid form of honey before so Im not sure if I need to melt it before I use it to bake with like I would coconut oil?

  8. Catherine these WERE fantastic! Chocolatey, delicious and not too sweet. My 3 1/2 year olds and I made them together. It is a perfect kids-in-the-kitchen recipe. Easy to follow, a simple list of ingredients and quick to put together. Thank you so much.- again.

  9. Hi Catherine,
    Is it possible to use honey or maple syrup in these instead of brown sugar? Is yes, what would be the measurements? Thank you in advance oh and love you recipes and videos they are so great!
