Ingredients

• 1 cup white whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 sheets graham crackers, coarsely crushed
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup mini marshmallows or marshmallow bits
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 1/2 tablespoons water
• 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (for topping)
• 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Step 3: Cut in the unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Step 4: Add the milk, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently just until combined. Fold in the crushed graham crackers, chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows.
5. Step 5: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 5 to 6 times until it just comes together. Shape it into an 8-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Step 6: Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the scones start to turn a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
7. Step 7: While the scones cool, whisk together the confectioner’s sugar and salt in a bowl. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the tablespoon of butter with 1 1/2 tablespoons water. Add 1/2 cup mini marshmallows, stirring until melted and smooth. Pour this warm marshmallow mixture into the sugar mixture and whisk until smooth and combined. Drizzle this glaze over the cooled scones.
8. Step 8: Melt the dark chocolate chips or melting wafers according to package instructions. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the scones. Let the drizzle cool and harden before serving.
9. Step 9: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.

Tips & Variations

• For an extra boost of flavor, try using toasted marshmallow bits in the dough instead of regular mini marshmallows.
• Substitute dark chocolate with white chocolate or peanut butter chips for a fun twist.
• Make sure not to overmix the dough to keep the scones tender and flaky.
• If you prefer a stronger vanilla flavor, add an extra teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Storage

Keep leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To extend freshness, refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or oven to soften the scones before serving. The chocolate drizzle may soften when warmed.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make these scones dairy-free?

Yes, you can substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative and use a non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk. Keep in mind that the flavor and texture may vary slightly.

Can I freeze these scones?

Absolutely. Freeze the cooled scones in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag or container. They keep well for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature and warm gently before eating.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dry Ingredients

• 1 cup white whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, for cutting in)
• 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Mix-ins

• 2 sheets graham crackers, coarsely crushed
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup mini marshmallows or marshmallow bits

Glaze

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 1/2 tablespoons water
• 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
• 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
3. Cut in Butter: Add the cold unsalted butter to the dry mixture and cut it in using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step creates the flaky texture in your scones.
4. Add Wet Ingredients and Mix-ins: Pour in the milk, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Stir just until everything starts to come together. Then fold in the crushed graham crackers, chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows carefully to evenly distribute the mix-ins without overworking the dough.
5. Shape the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 5 to 6 times until it holds together. Shape the dough into an 8-inch circle and cut into 8 equal wedges. Place these wedges spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the scones are starting to turn light golden brown on the edges. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool before glazing.
7. Prepare Glaze: While the scones cool, whisk together the confectioner’s sugar and salt in a small bowl. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and water, then add marshmallows and stir continuously until melted and smooth. Combine this marshmallow mixture with the sugar mixture and whisk until smooth and well combined.
8. Glaze and Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle the marshmallow glaze over the cooled scones. Then melt the dark chocolate chips or wafers according to package instructions and drizzle the melted chocolate over the scones. Allow all to cool so the glaze and chocolate harden before serving.
9. Storage: Store any leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

• Use cold butter for cutting in to achieve the best flaky texture.
• Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough scones.
• Mini marshmallows can be substituted with marshmallow bits for easier mixing.
• You can use milk or dark chocolate chips according to your taste preference.
• Ensure the scones are fully cooled before applying glaze and chocolate drizzle to prevent melting.
• For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and milk with plant-based alternatives.
