S’mores on a Stick – Marshmallow Pops!
These S’mores On a Stick Marshmallow pops are fun. Everyone has been giggling over Sunday’s adorable Chocolate Peppermint Marshmallow Pops. 
S’mores on a Stick
Even as a kid, I was never a big marshmallow fan. At least in it’s normal solid state. Marshmallows in the big colorful boxes of sugar, I mean cereal… Pass the cheerios, please. Rocky Road ice cream… Meh. But marshmallows which had been made molten under the flame or from bathing in mug hot chocolate, those made me giddy.
ready to go, before the marshmallow torch!
So when we were talking about making the chocolate dipped marshmallows, my thoughts went to making a live-action S’mores On a Stick Marshmallow pops. Not just the prerequisite of marshmallow, chocolate, and graham cracker, but of leaving half the marshmallow exposed and torching the little bugger.
When Diane had the festive idea of coating the chocolate marshmallows with crushed candy canes, and we considered putting the fraternal pairs in the same post together.
But we had limited time Sunday morning before running out the door for the day, and after Diane rocked my scissor, Sunday’s post was decided to be candy caned.
The live-action s’more pops were still too good not to share, so we finally managed to squeeze in a photo session for them this morning. Marshmallow half coated in dark chocolate, sprinkled with graham cracker crumbs, then softened and charred with a torch. “Flash!” And I’m giddy like a little kid.
Thanks for tolerating the back-to-back marshmallow pop posts. Have fun with these S’mores On a Stick Marshmallow pops.

S'mores Marshmallow Pops
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound Dark Chocolate , finely chopped (or about 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips)
- 12 regular Marshmallows
- 2-3 Graham Crackers , crushed
Equipment
- Bain Marie
Instructions
- Temper the chocolate. Weigh out a large portion of the chopped chocolate. Weigh out another portion which is 25% the weight of the first. Add larger amount to a pan in a bain marie and gently heat the chocolate until it reaches 120°F. Remove from heat.
- Add the second portion of chocolate and stir until the temperature drops to 85°F (should take about 10-15 min.) Test the chocolate's temper-Dip one side of a small strip of parchment into the chocolate, then set aside to cool and harden. After about 5 minutes you'll be able to tell if the chocolate is properly tempered or if there is a grittiness or bloom (looks streaky).
- Keep chocolate at a good working temp., between 85°F and not exceeding 89°F by occasionally placing chocolate on bain marie to gently raise temperature for a minute or so.
- Have crushed graham crackers set aside in a bowl.
- By hand, dip the marshmallows halfway into the tempered chocolate. Pull it out of the chocolate, letting the excess drip off, then skewer the marshmallow from the chocolate end, leaving the bare part of the marshmallow exposed at the top. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs, then set topside down to allow the chocolate to set.
- When ready to pass out the s'mores, light your torch and set it to its lowest setting. Gently torch the exposed marshmallow by waving the flame across the surface. Quickly blow out any flare-ups on the marshmallows. Serve immediately.

Here’s morefun s’mores recipes for you. Have fun because these are perfect for Summer time.
Looks amazing! I agree with you on the marshmallows–unless they’re melted in a s’more, they’re forgettable. Thanks for sharing a new way to enjoy a classic!
Yum. My kids are going to love you for this. (As if they weren’t already your best friends for the peppermint marshmallows.)
That is pure bliss on a stick!
How brilliant!! [but i expect nothing less from you two!]
I love to burn my marshmallows – anything to make them extra crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside!!
this post is heaven.
Clever!! I will definitely have to make these for my crew! At one time I was the reigning Queen of S’mores at White’s Landing on Catalina Island and started a bit of a revolution – s’mores there have never (ahem) been the same.
Robin, I think you could coat the bottom of the marshmallow with peanut butter and then dip in chocolate!!
You’re killing me! These are absolutely adorable and would be a huge hit with my kids.
Probably a stupid question, but could you just melt the chocolate with a little warm cream or do you really have to go through the tempering/thermometer process?
Also – if you don’t have a torch – could you use the broiler?
You could make a ganache for dipping if you’d prefer. The chocolate texture will be softer. You could also use Candy Melts if you’d prefer not to temper.
We don’t recommend using the broiler. The marshmallows singe very quickly and using the broiler opens up for a bunch of problems.
love these
Oh man would my little boy LOVE these. He’s a bit obsessed with marshmallows!
OK, when you guys were talking about these yesterday I had no idea they would turn out Sooooo adorable! LOVE these and need to make them ASAP!

These are fantastic too! I am going to have to try this for a party centerpiece!
You’ve solved my s’more dilemma.
Neat & tidy on a stick. No broken graham crackers after the first bite!
Brilliant!
Ok, so I’ve made these before, and mine didn’t taste or look nearly as good as yours!
What a great idea!
I agree, marshmallows must be toasted…in fact nearly burnt to be great. I love smores….especially smores with peanut butter with the chocolate and grahams. I’m trying to think of ways now to add peanut butter to your marshmallow pops….
Oh how I love s’mores… these are too fun.
These are so cute! I love how one side is dipped in chocolate and the other is toasted!
