Ingredients You’ll Need

12 regular-size marshmallows: These fluffy delights serve as the base of your pop. Choose the freshest ones for the best texture.
12 lollipop sticks: Essential for easy dipping and enjoying. Opt for sturdy sticks that can hold up against the marshmallow.
2 (1.55 ounce) Hershey’s milk chocolate bars: The star of the show! This chocolate melts smoothly and delivers that classic sweet flavor.
⅓ cup graham cracker crumbs: These crumbs add the quintessential S’mores crunch. You can crush store-bought graham crackers for convenience or make your own for a more gourmet touch.

How to Make S’mores Marshmallow Pops

Prepare the Surface: Start by lining a plate or baking sheet with parchment paper. This will keep your pops from sticking and make for easy cleanup.
Insert Sticks: Gently push one lollipop stick deep into the center of each regular-size marshmallow. Be careful not to puncture through the top; it should be secure but still allow the marshmallow to remain intact.
Melt the Chocolate: Break the Hershey’s milk chocolate bars into smaller pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium power in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Prep the Crumbs: Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a small bowl, making them easy to access when you start coating the chocolate.
Dip & Coat: Dip a marshmallow into the melted chocolate, making sure to turn it until it’s fully coated. Then, immediately roll it in the graham cracker crumbs, allowing them to stick to the chocolate. Don’t be shy—get a generous coating!
Setting Time: Place each finished marshmallow pop on the parchment-lined surface. Repeat the dipping and coating process for the remaining marshmallows.
Chill the Pops: Once all your pops are coated, place them in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. You’ll know they’re ready when the chocolate feels firm to the touch.

Storing & Reheating

To keep your S’mores Marshmallow Pops fresh, store them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, place them in the refrigerator for up to a week, ensuring they’re well-sealed. If you’d like to freeze the pops, wrap each one in plastic wrap individually and then place them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Just remember, when you’re ready to enjoy them again, let them thaw in the fridge for a couple of hours. If you like that fresh-out-of-the-microwave soft feeling, pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to soften slightly before serving.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Always use fresh marshmallows; they should be soft and squishy for the best texture.
For a smoother chocolate coating, make sure not to overheat the chocolate in the microwave. Stirring frequently helps regulate the temperature.
If the chocolate starts to harden while you’re dipping, simply reheat it for 10 seconds to bring it back to a smooth consistency.
For an extra special touch, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate before refrigerating for an irresistible sweet-salty flavor.
Make the pops ahead of time for parties; the taste stays fabulous, and they’re great for grab-and-go snacks.
You can easily customize your pops by adding fun toppings like colorful sprinkles to make them your own!

S’mores Marshmallow Pops are not just a treat; they’re an experience filled with laughter and joy. The simplicity of the recipe allows you to pull together a batch whenever you crave that nostalgic S’mores flavor. Plus, the smiles when friends and family take their first bite will be priceless.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use a different type of chocolate?

Absolutely! You can substitute dark chocolate or white chocolate if you prefer. Just make sure to adjust the melting times, as different chocolates may reach their melting point at varying rates.

How can I make these dairy-free?

For a dairy-free version, simply use dairy-free chocolate and check the marshmallow brand for any unwanted ingredients. Many companies offer vegan marshmallows that work perfectly in this recipe!

Can I add flavors to the chocolate?

Yes! You can add flavorings such as vanilla extract, peppermint extract, or even orange zest to the melted chocolate for a unique twist. Just be sure to keep it subtle so it doesn’t overpower the classic S’mores flavor.

What should I do if the chocolate becomes too thick to dip?

If your chocolate thickens while you’re working, just add a teaspoon of vegetable oil or coconut oil and stir until smooth. This will thin it out and make it easier for dipping.
