Ingredients You’ll Need

12 regular-size marshmallows: Soft and fluffy, these are the foundation of your pops. Look for thick, fresh marshmallows for the best texture.
12 lollipop sticks: These help you enjoy your marshmallows without getting your fingers sticky. You can use crafted sticks or even pretzel rods for variation.
2 (1.55 ounce) Hershey’s milk chocolate bars: Rich and creamy, they melt beautifully and provide that classic chocolatey taste. Feel free to substitute with dark chocolate for a more intense flavor.
⅓ cup graham cracker crumbs: These add the signature crunch and flavor of s’mores. You can make them from whole graham crackers or buy pre-packaged crumbs for convenience.

How to Make S’mores Marshmallow Pops

Prepare the Work Area: Start by lining a plate or a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the pops from sticking once they’ve cooled, making cleanup a breeze.
Insert the Sticks: Push one lollipop stick into the center of each marshmallow. Be careful not to puncture through to the other end; you want the marshmallows to stay intact.
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 session, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes depending on your microwave power, so watch carefully to avoid burning.
Prepare the Crumbs: While you wait for the chocolate to melt, pour your graham cracker crumbs into a small bowl. This will make dipping a cinch!
Coat the Marshmallows: Dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, turning it to coat the sides evenly. Make sure they’re well-covered for the best flavor.
Add the Crunch: Quickly roll the chocolate-covered marshmallow in the graham cracker crumbs. You want the crumbs to stick nicely, adding that wonderful texture.
Place and Repeat: After coating, place the finished marshmallow pop on the parchment-lined plate or baking sheet. Repeat this process until all your marshmallows are coated.
Chill to Set: Pop the tray into the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes—just long enough for the chocolate to firm up. This step helps keep the chocolate from melting when you serve them!
Enjoy!: Once set, they’re ready to enjoy. Whether you share them at a picnic or savor them on your own, they’re bound to bring smiles all around.

Storing & Reheating

For the best taste and texture, store your S’mores Marshmallow Pops at room temperature in an airtight container, where they can stay fresh for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate for about a week, though the chocolate may lose some snap. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to store them for more than a week, you can freeze them—just make sure they’re well-wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before indulging, as this can help refresh the texture.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overheating the chocolate; it can scorch easily. Stir vigorously to help it melt smoothly.
If the chocolate starts to harden while you coat the marshmallows, simply warm it back up in the microwave for a few seconds.
For a fun twist, add sprinkles or drizzle more chocolate on top after the pops have chilled.
If you’re having trouble getting the crumbs to stick, try using a spoon to press the crumbs onto the chocolate.
Make ahead by preparing the pops and storing them in the fridge a day prior to your event.

These S’mores Marshmallow Pops are a perfect treat that comes together in no time and guarantees a smirk with every bite. The combination of sweet, crunchy, and chocolaty goodness is sure to be a hit with anyone lucky enough to snag one. Feel free to play around with the toppings or chocolate types—you’ll likely come up with some delightful surprises!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use different types of chocolate?

Absolutely! While Hershey’s milk chocolate gives a classic flavor, feel free to experiment with dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even flavored chocolate melts like peanut butter or butterscotch. Each variation brings its unique twist to the pops!

How can I make these gluten-free?

To make gluten-free S’mores Marshmallow Pops, simply use gluten-free graham crackers or a gluten-free crumb substitute. Many brands also offer certified gluten-free marshmallows, ensuring your entire treat is safe!

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can! These pops can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to a week. Just ensure they’re adequately covered to help maintain the texture and taste.

How do I keep the graham cracker crumbs from falling off?

For optimal adhesion, dip the marshmallow in the chocolate and immediately roll it in the graham cracker crumbs while the chocolate is still warm. If you find it challenging, gently pressing the crumbs into the chocolate can also help them stick better.
