Ingredient information:

STROOPWAFELS - Found in the cookie aisle of most grocery stores, or you can buy them online. They come in many flavors: caramel, maple, honey, and chocolate. You can't go wrong choosing any of the flavors.

MARSHMALLOWS - One standard-size marshmallow is all you'll need for each s'mores stroopwafel sandwich. If you're using jumbo marshmallows, you'll want to cut them in half.

MILK CHOCOLATE CHIPS - You'll need two cups of milk chocolate chips to make seven stroopwafel sandwiches. Melting chocolate chips in the microwave in short bursts, with half power, and stirring frequently is my preferred way to melt chocolate.

BUTTER-FLAVORED SHORTENING - I used butter flavor shortening to aid in melting the chocolate chips, but you can use unflavored shortening if you prefer. Refrain from being tempted to swap butter for the shortening. Read more about why this doesn't work in the section below.

TOASTED CHOPPED PECANS - Toasting the nuts brings out more flavor. When toasting them in a dry skillet, use medium/low heat and stir or toss them frequently. Toasting nuts this way only takes a few minutes, so don't walk away from the stovetop. As soon as you start to smell the nuts, they're done.

FLAKY SEA SALT - This is an optional ingredient, but when used as the final touch, it elevates and heightens the flavor of these delicious chocolate-covered stroopwafel sandwiches.

Kitchen tools and equipment needed:

• microwave safe bowl
• spatula
• baking sheet
• baking rack
• nut chopper (optional)
• kitchen timer (optional)
• oven gloves

What exactly is a stroopwafel?

Stroopwafels are two very thin, sweet waffle cookies with a very skinny layer of syrup sandwiched between the waffle cookies.

Where can stroopwafels be found in the grocery store?

Stroopwafels can be found in the cookie aisle of most supermarkets.

Where do stroopwafels originate?

Stroopwafels originated in the Netherlands and are a well-known and popular Dutch treat.

Ingredient substitutions or add-ins:

Colorful sprinkles would make a fun addition to the top of these stroopwafel sandwiches. You can add them in place of the nuts, or along with them.

Have you seen the chocolate marshmallows in the store? Those would be delicious in place of plain marshmallows.

Rice or cocoa crispies would be a nice way to add some crunchy texture to your stroopwafel sandwich. Sprinkle some on when the chocolate is still wet.

If you're a white chocolate fan I do believe that melted white chocolate would be an extra sweet treat. You can even mix two of your favorite melted chocolate favorites, and do a swirl. How fun!

Toasted coconut anyone? Sprinkle some while the chocolate is still wet. Mmmm. Coconut and chocolate s'mores stroopwafel sandwiches would certainly be my favorite. Note to self. *wink*

How many s'mores stroopwafel sandwiches does this recipe make?

As written, this recipe makes seven chocolate and pecan-covered stroopwafel sandwiches.

Can these marshmallow-filled turtle stroopwafel sandwiches be frozen?

Yes, they sure can.

Wrap them individually in wax or parchment paper and then store them in airtight freezer bags or containers for up to 4 months.

They are delicious right from the freezer, or you can thaw them on the counter at room temperature before eating.

Can butter be used in place of the shortening for this recipe?

NO.

Since there is water in butter, when the butter starts to melt into the chocolate, releasing its water, the chocolate will seize and harden, making it unusable.

Shortening is 100% fat, which means it will melt easily into chocolate, giving it a smooth and creamy consistency that is perfect for dipping or pouring.

Renee's top tips for recipe success:

After adding the marshmallows to the bottom stroopwafel, make sure to set a kitchen timer so you don't leave them in the oven too long. You only need the marshmallow to soften and melt to act as glue to hold the second stroopwafel in place.

Don't press the second stroopwafel too hard when making the sandwich, as you don't want it to break. Firm but gentle pressure is all you'll need to sandwich the marshmallow between the two stroopwafels.

Coating the s'mores stroopwafel sandwiches with melted chocolate is best to do so on top of a wire rack. The extra chocolate will drip off, and the chocolate-covered stroopwafel sandwiches will dry much faster if they're not sitting in extra chocolate.
