These easy-to-make pops combine classic s’mores ingredients with a creative twist, featuring marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers all assembled on a stick for a playful and portable dessert.
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 12 large marshmallows
- 12 wooden popsicle sticks
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Optional Decorations
- Colored sprinkles or Halloween-themed edible decorations
Instructions
- Prepare the Marshmallows: Insert a wooden popsicle stick into each marshmallow, pushing it about halfway through so the marshmallow is securely held on the stick.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Coat the Marshmallows: Dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, using a spoon if necessary to fully cover all sides. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Roll in Graham Cracker Crumbs: Immediately after coating with chocolate, roll the marshmallow in the graham cracker crumbs until evenly covered. For added fun, sprinkle with colored or Halloween-themed decorations while the chocolate is still wet.
- Set the Pops: Place the coated marshmallow pops upright in a Styrofoam block or on a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, the Hocus Pocus S’mores Pops are ready to serve. They make a perfect handheld treat for parties or festive celebrations!
Notes
- Use coconut oil in the chocolate to make the coating smoother and shinier, but it can be omitted if preferred.
- Store the pops in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a nutty variation, sprinkle crushed nuts over the pops instead of graham cracker crumbs.
- Ensure the marshmallows are fresh for the best texture and taste.
