According to my Hallmark movies, it’s Valentine’s Day! Time to spoil your sweetie, or yourself. What better way to do it than with a homemade treat? If you have a s’mores loving honey, then these cookies may be just what St. Valentine ordered. And if you’re one of those nutters that’s counting down the days until summer returns, this recipe will give you a little hope to cling to. 

It took me a few tries to get this recipe just right, but I think I finally have it all sorted. Sadly, my favorite graham crackers have been discontinued (boo Trader Joe’s) but any good brand will suffice. I do recommend you get a high quality chocolate chunk though, it’s worth the little extra cash.

Let me know in the comments how you like them. Enjoy and Happy Valentine’s Day!
