Aldi Fans Discovered the Most Genius 2-Ingredient Dessert Hack

Classic s’mores always have 3 simple ingredients—graham crackers, marshmallows, and a chocolate bar. While most people probably stick with this tried-and-true formula, great things can happen when you think outside the box. We already know that using a Reese's Peanut Butter cup will take this dessert over the top, and waffle cones can transform the bonfire treat into a mess-free handheld.

Recently, we stumbled upon yet another genius s’mores creation that Aldi shoppers say they have been serving up for years. 

Chocolate Coated Butter Cookies Are the S'mores Upgrade You Have to Try

Aldi fans have been using cookies to make their s’mores easier than ever, according to a Reddit thread. Customers are sandwiching gooey roasted marshmallows between two of Aldi’s Specially Selected Butter Cookies Coated with Chocolate for the ultimate 2-ingredient s’more. The treat is simplified when it comes to steps but is a definite upgrade in flavor. The butter cookies are true to their name with a richness that balances the sweetness of the marshmallow and chocolate. Specially Selected Butter Cookies are available in both a milk chocolate coating and a dark chocolate variety for those who crave more intense flavor.

In addition to its simplicity, these s'mores cut down on mess, too. The cookies are coated with chocolate on one side, so you can build your s’more with the uncoated cookie side facing outward. This ensures your hands stay clean and allows the warmth of the marshmallow to perfectly soften the inward-facing chocolate.

One Redditor suggested Jet-Puffed campfire marshmallows, which are flatter and more rectangular than regular marshmallows because they fit perfectly on the cookies. Fans praised the tip and shared their experience with the decadent creation. “Took these camping about a month ago, total game changer, honestly taste better too!” said one commenter. 

“Eliminating that extra step/ingredient without sacrificing taste feels like a win,” added another.

So as you make plans to cozy up in front of the campfire this fall, be sure to stock up on these decadent cookies for hassle-free s’mores that the whole family will love.
