S’mores Pops Recipe

If you’ve ever found yourself daydreaming about campfire classics but want a fun, mess-free twist to share with family and friends, these S’mores Pops will absolutely steal your heart. Imagine your favorite gooey, chocolatey s’mores transformed into playful, hand-held treats—no fire pit required! Whether you’re hosting a party, looking for a special after-school snack, or just in the mood to treat yourself, these S’mores Pops blend nostalgia with irresistible flavor and ooey-gooey texture in every bite.

Ingredients You’ll Need

The beauty of S’mores Pops is that you only need a handful of pantry staples, but each one does some serious heavy lifting to create that classic s’mores flavor. From the crunch of buttery graham crackers to the luscious creaminess of melted chocolate, every ingredient plays a deliciously important role.

• Marshmallow Creme (7 oz): Gives these pops their signature fluffy, sticky interior with a smooth texture that’s so easy to work with.
• Graham Crackers (16, halved): The golden, honeyed crunch is the backbone of any s’more; here, it forms two sturdy layers for dipping.
• Wooden Craft Sticks or Sucker Sticks (16): These handy sticks turn your s’mores into portable pops, making the treat simple and mess-free.
• Chocolate Chips (2 cups): Silky, melted chocolate envelops the pops for a rich, decadent finish—pick milk, semisweet, or even dark based on your craving.
• Coconut Oil (1 TBS): Just a touch helps the chocolate melt smoothly and set up with a gorgeous, glossy sheen.

How to Make S’mores Pops

Step 1: Prepare Your Base

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to ensure nothing sticks and cleanup is a breeze. This will give you a tidy workspace that makes assembling the S’mores Pops super simple later on.

Step 2: Assemble the Graham Cracker Sandwiches

Break each graham cracker in half straight down the center, and arrange half your pieces on the lined cookie sheet. This step creates that lovely, classic square base and top for every single pop.

Step 3: Add Marshmallow and Sticks

Spread a generous layer of marshmallow creme onto each graham cracker sitting on your pan. Press a wooden stick halfway into the creme, then sandwich it all together with the second graham cracker half, sealing in all that marshmallow goodness and securing the stick in place.

Step 4: Freeze for Easy Dipping

Place your tray of assembled pops in the freezer for around 10 minutes. Chilling helps the marshmallow firm up, making the next chocolate-dipping step so much easier and less messy.

Step 5: Melt the Chocolate

Combine your chocolate chips and coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until the chocolate is silky smooth with no lumps. The coconut oil is the secret to that shiny, easily dippable chocolate coating.

Step 6: Dip and Coat

Grab each graham sandwich by its stick (so satisfying!) and gently dip into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to help drizzle or fully cover every nook and cranny of your S’mores Pops. Let any excess chocolate drip off for a clean finish.

Step 7: Set the Pops

Lay your chocolate-dipped pops back on the parchment-lined tray, spacing them so they don’t stick together. Pop them into the fridge this time to set—chilling solidifies the chocolate shell and bonds all the layers perfectly.

Step 8: Enjoy!

Your S’mores Pops are ready! Just let them sit at room temperature for a minute or two before serving, so the chocolate isn’t too hard and every bite is perfectly melty and gooey.

How to Serve S’mores Pops

Garnishes

Want to add a special touch? Sprinkle your S’mores Pops with crushed graham cracker crumbs, colorful sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt over the wet chocolate for a dash of excitement and flavor on top.

Side Dishes

These pops are a superstar all on their own, but for parties, try pairing them with fresh fruit skewers, bowls of berries, or even salty snacks like pretzels for that sweet-meets-salty magic. Chilled lemonade or hot cocoa are lovely drink partners for these treats, too.

Creative Ways to Present

Display your S’mores Pops upright in mason jars, glasses filled with colorful candies, or even in a block of floral foam covered with brown sugar “sand” for a s’mores-bar vibe. For parties, wrap each pop in cellophane and tie with ribbon for delightful take-home favors.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you can resist eating them all at once, stash leftover S’mores Pops in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh and delicious for up to five days, keeping that chocolate shell perfectly crisp and the marshmallow inside soft.

Freezing

Need to make a big batch ahead of time? Freeze S’mores Pops in a single layer on a tray until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep their flavor and texture for about a month, and are easy to grab whenever you need a quick, fun dessert.

Reheating

No real reheating is needed, but if enjoyed straight from the fridge or freezer, let your S’mores Pops sit at room temperature for a few minutes to take the chill off and revive the marshmallow’s soft, gooey texture before diving in.

FAQs

Can I use homemade marshmallow instead of marshmallow creme?

Absolutely! If you have a favorite homemade marshmallow recipe, you can use it in place of the marshmallow creme. Just spread or pat it onto the graham crackers and proceed as directed; just be sure it’s sticky enough to hold the sticks and crackers together.

Can I make S’mores Pops dairy free or vegan?

Yes! Swap in vegan graham crackers, dairy-free chocolate chips, and a plant-based marshmallow creme (or homemade version) to make S’mores Pops that fit your dietary needs without sacrificing flavor or fun.

Why do I need to freeze the pops before dipping them in chocolate?

Chilling the assembled pops in the freezer helps the marshmallow set up and prevents the graham crackers from falling apart when you dip them in melted chocolate. This step also helps the chocolate harden quickly for a clean, even coating.

Can I use white chocolate instead of regular chocolate chips?

Absolutely! For a fun twist, use white chocolate chips or even swirl different types of chocolate together. You can also add festive toppings for extra flair—don’t hesitate to get creative.

Are S’mores Pops messy to eat?

One of the best parts of S’mores Pops is how neat and portable they are! The chocolate coating keeps the marshmallow in check, and thanks to the stick, fingers stay mostly chocolate-free—perfect for parties, kids, or anyone who wants the gooeyness of s’mores without the mess.
