Hey everyone, Jason Griffith here! There’s something truly magical about a s’more—the gooey marshmallow, the melted chocolate, and the crunchy graham cracker all in one bite. But what if you could have all that deliciousness in a warm, fluffy waffle sandwich? This S’mores Waffle Sandwich recipe is my answer to that. It’s a genius mashup that takes all the best parts of a s’more and combines them with a classic homemade waffle. It’s the perfect treat for a fun weekend breakfast, a special dessert, or anytime you’re craving something sweet and nostalgic.
Why I Love This Recipe
What I love most about this recipe is its perfect balance of textures and flavors. The crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside waffle is a fantastic canvas for all the sweet, gooey fillings. The combination of the melted chocolate chips, the toasted mini marshmallows, and the crunchy graham cracker crumbs is a dream come true. This recipe is also a lot of fun to make, and it delivers a result that is far superior to anything you can get from a store. It’s a great way to impress your friends and family with a creative and delicious treat that they will be talking about for days.
Ingredients
For the Waffles
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the S’mores Filling
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 4 graham crackers, crushed
Swaps and Notes
- Waffles: A homemade waffle is best here, as it provides a sturdy, fluffy base. You can use a box mix for a quicker option.
- Marshmallows: Mini marshmallows are my preference here, as they melt quickly and evenly.
- Chocolate Chips: Semisweet chocolate chips are a classic choice, but you can also use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips.
- Graham Crackers: Crushing the graham crackers finely is key to getting a good texture. You can also use other cookies like crushed Oreos.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Make the Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Cook the Waffles: Preheat a waffle iron and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the waffle batter onto the iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden brown and crispy. Remove the waffle and set it aside. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place one waffle on a plate. Top it with mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and crushed graham crackers. Place another waffle on top to create a sandwich.
- Melt the Fillings: Place the sandwich on a baking sheet and pop it under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and the chocolate is melted. Watch it closely so it doesn’t burn.
- Serve: Serve the S’mores Waffle Sandwich immediately and enjoy the gooey, chocolatey goodness.
Tips for Success
- Don’t Overmix the Batter: Overmixing will develop the gluten and result in a tough, dense waffle.
- Use a Hot Waffle Iron: A hot waffle iron is crucial for a crispy waffle. Make sure it’s preheated before you start cooking.
- Watch the Broiler: The marshmallows and chocolate can go from perfect to burned in a flash. Don’t walk away from the oven!
- Serve Immediately: This sandwich is best eaten fresh while the marshmallows are still gooey and the chocolate is melted.
Serving Suggestions and Pairings
This S’mores Waffle Sandwich is a perfect dessert on its own. It’s so rich and decadent that you don’t need much else. You could serve it with a simple cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For a dessert spread, it would go perfectly with other no-bake treats like some old school no-bake cookies or some edible cookie dough.

Storage and Leftover Tips
This sandwich is best enjoyed immediately. It does not store well as the marshmallows and chocolate will harden and the waffles will lose their crispness.
