Ingredients You’ll Need

12 regular-size marshmallows: The stars of the show—look for soft, fresh marshmallows for the best texture.
12 lollipop sticks: These are essential for creating your pops; choose standard sticks for stability.
2 (1.55 ounce) Hershey’s milk chocolate bars: These melt beautifully and give that classic rich flavor; you can substitute with dark chocolate or dairy-free options if preferred.
⅓ cup graham cracker crumbs: These add a delightful crunch and that signature s’mores flavor; crushed Oreos or vanilla wafers can be used as alternatives for a different twist.

How to Make S’mores Marshmallow Pops

Prep Your Workspace: Start by lining a plate or baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures your pops won’t stick and makes for easy cleanup.
Insert Lollipop Sticks: Carefully push one lollipop stick into the center of each marshmallow, making sure not to pierce through the other side.
Melt the Chocolate: Break the Hershey’s chocolate bars into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in the microwave at 15-second intervals, stirring well after each to ensure it melts evenly and becomes smooth.
Prepare the Graham Cracker Coating: While the chocolate melts, add the graham cracker crumbs to a small bowl for easy dipping.
Dip the Marshmallows: Take each marshmallow pop and dip it into the melted chocolate, rotating it to coat all sides generously.
Coat with Graham Crackers: Immediately roll the chocolate-coated marshmallow in the graham cracker crumbs, pressing gently to help the crumbs stick.
Set Your Pops: Place the finished marshmallow pop on the parchment-lined plate or baking sheet. This step is crucial to maintain their shape.
Repeat the Process: Continue dipping and coating the remaining marshmallows until complete. Ensure each pop is well-coated for maximum flavor.
Chill to Set: Refrigerate the chocolate-covered pops for about 5 to 10 minutes, just until the chocolate firms up. Remove them once they’re set to enjoy.

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 have leftover pops, refrigerate for about a week in a sealed container to maintain freshness. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months; just ensure they are placed in a freezer-safe container. When ready to enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature. Keep in mind that freezing may slightly change the texture but won’t compromise the delicious flavor!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overcrowding the microwave when melting chocolate; this can result in uneven melting. Stir thoroughly for a smooth consistency.
For perfect pops, ensure the chocolate is warm but not boiling—I recommend around 90-100°F.
If the chocolate hardens while dipping, reheat it gently in the microwave for a few seconds.
Get creative! Customize your pops with sprinkles, nuts, or coconut for added flair.

Indulging in these S’mores Marshmallow Pops is not just about satisfying a sweet tooth; it’s also a fun and engaging activity to do with kids or friends. With minimal ingredients and steps, you’ll find yourself wanting to whip these up again and again. The flexibility in flavor and presentation means there’s always room for experimentation.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use different types of chocolate?

Absolutely! Dark chocolate or even white chocolate can be used in place of milk chocolate. Each type brings its unique flavor, allowing you to customize your pops to fit your taste.

How can I make these pops gluten-free?

To make S’mores Marshmallow Pops gluten-free, simply choose gluten-free graham crackers or switch to crushed vanilla wafers. Be sure to check labels on the chocolate as well, as not all brands are gluten-free.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the S’mores Marshmallow Pops in advance and keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes them a perfect make-ahead dessert for parties or gatherings.

What’s the best way to store leftovers?

Store your leftover S’mores Marshmallow Pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you wish to freeze them, use a freezer-safe container and consume within three months for the best quality.
