Nothing Will Make you Appreciate Summer More than S’mores Macarons

It's Sweet to Share!

S’mores Macarons are the grown up version of campfire treats you can enjoy all year long.

Growing up, I loved the movie Stand By Me and this recipe for s’mores macarons are totally inspired by that movie. 

I grew up in a house full of girls, so watching a movie about a bunch of adventurous boys exploring the woods was a totally foreign experience to me. 

Also, I grew up in Oregon so I immediately feel an instant connection to the forest and camping,  even if I can’t relate to the leeches, the rough housing and insulting my friends relentlessly.

Especially the swearing. Swear words were not allowed in our house, and I still don’t know how I got away with watching this movie as a kid. 

But I love the world “sincerely”. It’s still my favorite word, sincerely. It definitely stands the test of time. 

I cannot help but think of this movie when I am camping, exploring back woods and ghost towns, or just roasting marshmallows in my backyard. The exploration of innocence combined with adolescent egotism in this film is extraordinarily compelling. 

But enough about that!

How to Make These S’mores Macarons

Just like with any other macaron recipe, follow the same instructions.

  1. First, sift the powdered sugar with the graham cracker flour.
  2. Twice to be doubly sure.
  3. Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature.
  4. Whip them to stiff peaks.
  5. Fold the flour into the egg whites in two steps.
  6. Your macronage should be thick. Definitely don’t over mix your flour with your egg whites.
  7. t’s a hard gauge it perfectly, but err on the side of under-mixing rather than over-mixing. The piping process will continue to incorporate the egg whites and the flour even more.
  8. Let cool before removing from your baking sheet.
  9. Fill with a marshmallow and toast under a broiler oven.
  10. Melt chocolate on top of melted marshmallow immediately and top with second macaron cookie.

No Almond Flour

Almond flour is used when making macarons because of the sweet signature almond flour. It’s not necessary to the overall success of the cookie. 

The reason macarons are macarons is because they are a meringue cookie; they puff and establish feet because of whipped egg whites. 

You can substitute any flour you want, really. For this recipe, I used graham cracker flour.

Where is the Frosting?

These are truly unique macarons. S’mores macarons don’t use almond flour and they don’t have frosting. Instead they are sandwiched with toasted marshmallows and chocolate. 

I really wanted to capture as much of a s’more as I possibly could.

My Favorite Macaron Accessories on Amazon

I am an Amazon affiliate and Amazon sometimes pays me an incredibly small stipend from the sale of these items, and it does not cost you anything to click on them!

I love my baking scale. (I actually have several.) They are so useful, and these digital scales converts your weights into grams, ml or pounds. This one is particularly nice because you don’t have to tare out the bowl (which I always forget).

These macaron mats so helpful for getting the same size cookie every time.

And these are cute! Perfect little boxes to give to friends, family and neighbors.

  1. S'mores. Wow. I never thought to make MacSmores. That's so great that the graham crackers worked. I've substituted many things for the almond meal, but never graham crackers. I'm going to try making these soon.

  2. What a wonderful mac! This is a great movie and I know my sons and husband have watched it many times, kinda like a male bonding theme. And love the connection between the movie – campfires – smores and WOW I want one of these macs! But I think with that work going on you need them all! I would! Thanks so much for baking these fab macs with us!

  3. I'm sold! I don't know anyone who could turn down this combination. It sounds wonderful. Love that you were adventurous and tried graham crakers!

  4. S'mores macarons are a brilliant idea! Very, very brilliant idea. Sorry this comment is late, been distracted but now that I've seen a bit of your to-do list, I'll nver complain about mine again. Wow!
