Ingredients You’ll Need

12 regular-size marshmallows: These soft, fluffy treats form the base of our s’mores pops. Choose fresh marshmallows for the best texture and flavor.
12 lollipop sticks: These sticks give your marshmallows the classic pop shape and make them easy to handle. Wooden skewer or cake pop sticks work well as substitutes.
2 (1.55 ounce) Hershey’s milk chocolate bars: This creamy chocolate melts smoothly, giving a rich flavor to your pops. You can also use dark chocolate or white chocolate for different taste profiles.
⅓ cup graham cracker crumbs: These crumbs mimic the crust of traditional s’mores, adding a delightful crunch. If you’re gluten-free, look for gluten-free graham cracker options or crush up any gluten-free cookies you prefer.

How to Make Smores Marshmallow Pops

Prep the Baking Sheet: Start by lining a plate or a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the marshmallow pops from sticking as they cool.
Insert the Lollipop Sticks: Carefully push one lollipop stick into the center of each marshmallow, making sure not to poke through the top. This creates a solid base for dipping.
Melt the Chocolate: Break the Hershey’s milk chocolate bars into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate in the microwave for 15 seconds at a time, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Prepare the Graham Cracker Coating: While the chocolate is melting, pour the graham cracker crumbs into a small bowl. This will be used to coat your chocolate-covered marshmallows.
Dip the Marshmallows: Take a marshmallow with the lollipop stick and dip it into the melted chocolate, rolling it until it is completely coated. Making sure to shake off any excess chocolate back into the bowl.
Coat with Graham Crackers: Roll the chocolate-covered marshmallow in the graham cracker crumbs while it’s still warm to ensure the crumbs stick well. You can also use your fingertips to sprinkle crumbs if you want even coverage.
Set on Parchment Paper: Place the finished marshmallow pop on the parchment-lined plate or baking sheet. Repeat the dipping and rolling process with all the remaining marshmallows.
Chill to Set: Once all marshmallow pops are coated, refrigerate them for about 5 to 10 minutes until the chocolate is firm to the touch. This helps the chocolate to set nicely, ensuring a great texture.

Storing & Reheating

To store your S’mores Marshmallow Pops, keep them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If you want to extend their life, you can refrigerate them, which will help preserve their texture for about a week. If you choose to freeze them, store the pops in a freezer-safe container for up to three months. When ready to enjoy, simply let them thaw at room temperature. Keep in mind that the chocolate texture may change slightly upon freezing, but the flavor remains delicious.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid over-melting the chocolate; stopping just before it’s fully melted ensures that it doesn’t burn.
For best results, use room temperature marshmallows, as they dip more smoothly in the chocolate.
If the chocolate starts to harden while you’re dipping, reheat it briefly in the microwave in 10-second intervals.
Consider using flavored chocolate or adding sprinkles on top after coating for a festive touch.
If you want to make them ahead of time, prepare the pops and freeze them. Just remember to wrap them carefully!

There you have it! These S’mores Marshmallow Pops are simple to make and burst with flavor, making them an excellent sweet treat for any occasion. Whether it’s a birthday party, family gathering, or even a cozy evening on the couch, you can enjoy these delightful treats anytime. Don’t hesitate to experiment with different flavors or toppings; the possibilities are endless.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use different types of chocolate?

Absolutely! While classic milk chocolate is fantastic, you can experiment with dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even flavored varieties like peanut butter or mint. Each will bring a unique twist to your S’mores Marshmallow Pops.

How do I keep chocolate melted while I work?

If you find the chocolate begins to cool and harden while you’re dipping the marshmallows, you can place the bowl over a pot of hot water on the stove (a double boiler method). This will help maintain a smooth melting consistency.

What if I don’t have graham cracker crumbs?

No worries! You can use crushed cookies, like Digestive biscuits or even chocolate wafer cookies for a fun twist. Just ensure whatever you use is dry and crisp for the best texture.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can make S’mores Marshmallow Pops a day or two in advance. Just store them in an airtight container. If you choose to freeze them, they can last for up to three months, though the texture might vary slightly after thawing.
