"Don't be fooled by their similar appearance. Saltines and graham crackers may look almost identical to each other, but swapping the two makes a significant difference in the world of s'mores. Aptly implied by the name, saltines feature an intensely sharp saltiness that cuts right through the marshmallow and chocolate's sugary haze. S'mores are often super rich to a fault, but with saltines paving the way, you're instead left with layer after layer of sweet and salty unraveling into each other."
"Simply lay saltines out on a baking sheet, half of which are topped with pieces of chocolate and marshmallow. Bake for around 5 minutes, until the chocolate is decently melted and the marshmallows nicely puffed up, before they are sandwiched underneath the remaining saltine snacks. If you decide to use the broiler for that blackened char, then lower the time to around 1 to 3 minutes instead."
Saltines create an intensely sharp saltiness that cuts through marshmallow and chocolate sweetness, producing a layered sweet-and-salty contrast. The saltiness balances the usual over-richness of s'mores and adds textural crispness. Saltine s'mores can be assembled and heated like traditional s'mores, with oven baking for about five minutes to melt chocolate and puff marshmallows or with a broiler for 1–3 minutes to char. The crackers unlock creative variations and a new autumnal flavor palette while remaining simple to prepare. The toasty warmth enhances the contrast and delivers comforting, crackling, melty bites.
