No-Bake Marshmallow Chocolate Cookies are made with a handful of ingredients and are a family favorite. A simple cookie that you don’t have to turn the oven on for.
This recipe was one that my mom made every year when I was a kid. Then for some reason, the recipe was lost and she didn’t make them for years. Since then it has been found, and once again I have been making this recipe for my family.
When I was a kid we called these cookies mudballs because they look a little bit like that. But don’t let that name fool you, they are delicious. Just a note they are a messy cookie to make, but they are so worth all the mess.
Helpful Tips:
- Do not use sweetened chocolate chips, like semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips for this recipe. The sweetened chocolate will make these cookies too sweet. It is best to use unsweetened or bittersweet baking chocolate.
- You can make your own graham cracker crumbs. Place graham crackers in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin or use a food processor.
- If you make your own graham cracker crumbs you will need to have 7 whole graham crackers for each cup.
- The melted chocolate should be just warm when you put your finger in it.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before making them into balls
- You can make them the size you like, but I like to make about 2 1/2 to 3-inch balls.
- Roll the cookies into the graham cracker crumbs as soon as you make each ball.
- Place the finished cookies in the refrigerator to firm up the cookies.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
