Ingredients You’ll Need

12 regular-size marshmallows: These fluffy delights are the foundation of your pops. Use fresh marshmallows for the best texture.
12 lollipop sticks: Sturdy sticks hold your pops together. Choose sticks that are strong enough to pierce through the marshmallows without breaking.
2 (1.55 ounce) Hershey’s milk chocolate bars: The star ingredient for that rich, creamy coating. You can substitute dark chocolate for a more intense flavor.
⅓ cup graham cracker crumbs: These provide the classic crunch. Crush your own or purchase pre-made crumbs for convenience.

How to Make Smores Marshmallow Pops

Prepare Your Workspace: Line a plate or baking sheet with parchment paper. This will be where your finished pops will cool and firm up.
Prepare Marshmallows: Push one lollipop stick into the center of each regular-size marshmallow, being careful not to pierce through the top.
Melt the Chocolate: Break the Hershey’s chocolate bars into pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Crumb Set-Up: Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a separate small bowl to make for easier coating.
Coat the Marshmallows: Dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, turning it to fully coat the sides. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
Roll in Crumbs: Immediately roll the chocolate-coated marshmallow in the graham cracker crumbs so that they stick and create that iconic s’mores crust.
Set the Pops: Place the finished marshmallow pop on the lined plate or baking sheet. Repeat this process until all marshmallows are dipped and coated.
Firm Up: Refrigerate the pops for about 5 to 10 minutes, just until the chocolate is set and firm. Once they’re ready, remove them from the refrigerator.

Storing & Reheating

To store your S’mores Marshmallow Pops, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you need to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. Make sure to use a container that doesn’t crush the pops. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months; just wrap each pop individually in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, let them thaw in the refrigerator. Note that freezing may slightly alter the texture, but the flavor will remain delightful!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Be gentle when inserting the lollipop stick to avoid crushing the marshmallow.
If your chocolate is too thick, try adding a teaspoon of coconut oil while melting to achieve a smoother consistency.
For extra flair, consider adding sprinkles or colored sugars right after coating in chocolate and before the graham crumbs.
If your chocolate hardens too quickly, you can reheat it slightly to make it easier to work with.
These pops can be made ahead of time; just store them in a cool place to maintain their texture.

S’mores Marshmallow Pops are more than just a treat; they’re a whirlwind of nostalgia and fun that you can whip up quickly any time. I encourage you to play around with the ingredients too! Swap in different chocolate flavors, or even add a layer of peanut butter for a twist. I can’t wait for you to enjoy this yummy recipe!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use different types of chocolate?

Absolutely! While classic milk chocolate is delicious, you can experiment with dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even flavored chocolates like mint or orange for a unique twist.

How can I make these pops healthier?

To make these healthier, try using dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate to reduce sugar content. You can also experiment with sugar-free marshmallows or gluten-free graham crackers if needed.

How can I keep my coating from sliding off the marshmallows?

To help the chocolate coating adhere better, ensure that the marshmallows are slightly chilled before dipping, which helps the chocolate set faster.

What should I do if my chocolate seizes up while melting?

If your chocolate seizes, it can be due to moisture. Keep it dry and make sure you’re using a clean, dry bowl and spoon. If it does seize, you might be able to salvage it by mixing in a tiny bit of vegetable or coconut oil to loosen it up.

Enjoy your S’mores Marshmallow Pops, and don’t hesitate to get creative with this delicious treat!
