These homemade moon pies are easy and delicious! A marshmallow center sandwiched between graham cracker cookies and dipped in chocolate- you’ll want to make these over and over again!
Preheat oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Crush the graham crackers until they are grounded fine - use a food processor or just stick them all in a gallon Ziploc bag and crush them.
15 graham crackers
Mix together the crushed graham crackers, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and brown sugar in a large bowl.
1 ⅔ cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ⅔ cup brown sugar
Add in the butter and milk stirring until combined.
11 tbs butter, 11 tbs milk
Working with ⅓rd of the dough at a time, roll out the dough into a thin layer, about ¼ of an inch thick. It's easiest to roll the dough out between two pieces of parchment paper.
Using a circular cookie cutter or a cup cut out circles from the dough and carefully transfer them to the parchment lined baking sheet. I like to use a thin spatula to move them and this helps the circles to stay circles.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. They will start to smell like delicious graham cracker cookies by this time! Once baked remove from the oven and let cool completely! Bake up the rest of the cookies.
Once the cookies are cooled, put approximately ¼ cup of marshmallow fluff onto ½ of the baked cookies and refrigerate them. This allows the marshmallow fluff to set up. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
18 oz marshmallow cream/fluff
After refrigerating, clean up any edges of the marshmallow fluff that spread out past the cookies. Then top each mound of marshmallow fluff with another cookie, making a sandwich.
Heat candy melts and coconut in a bowl in the microwave set to 30% power for 30 seconds, stir and then repeat until melted. This will take about 1-2 minutes in total.
24 oz dark chocolate candy melts, 3 tbs refined coconut oil*
Line another cookie sheet with parchment paper. Dip the entire cookie sandwich in the chocolate coating, using a spoon to spoon chocolate over the entire thing. Then place the cookie on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate cookies to help the candy melts set up. Then cut away any chocolate that pooled around the cookies and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks
*Refined coconut oil doesn't have a coconut taste to it. You can also use regular coconut oil or shortening instead.
These moon pies best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
