Yes … I’m calling these pops s’mores … they have all the necessary ingredients … chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers!
This project is so simple and quick with the help of a few store-bought ingredients … let me show you …
This is what I used …
- Large marshmallows
- Chocolate (fudge) covered graham crackers
- Dark chocolate (candy melts) (1 pound should make about 25-30 pops)
- M&M’s (or mini)
- WarHeads Sour Twists (or AirHeads Xtremes)
- Lollipop sticks (sorry, they missed the photo shoot)
I have not bought chocolate covered graham crackers in a looooong time … I didn’t realize that the size had changed … I thought they were larger! Maybe a different brand is a different size? I decided to go ahead and use them because they are the same size and shape as the Marshmallow Stackers that I used for Graduation Pops last year.
Let’s get started … set up an assembly line … melt the chocolate … dip the ends of the sticks in chocolate and insert into marshmallows … dip the marshmallows in chocolate … tap off excess chocolate and place on the (bottom) chocolate covered graham cracker … place in the fridge for a few minutes to harden up the chocolate …
To make the tassel, I used the Sour Twists … separated and cut in thirds … I did make a little cut to allow the candy to bend over the edge and an M&M for the button on top. Use a little melted chocolate to “glue” everything together … you will need to hold each piece in place for a moment to allow the chocolate to set …
Pretty easy peasy!
What do you think?
now THAT rocks!!!!!!!
Thanks
Well, aren’t they the cutest things. Time consuming to assemble, I imagine, yet they look pretty easy. Esp. like the way you displayed them in a bowl full of M&Ms. I’m afraid mine would fall over too soon because I’d be into the M&Ms right away!
Keep writing…
I spent the most time holding the tassels in place … but still pretty fast overall.
Perfect…I was looking for something to make for my son’s preschool graduation. Love it!
Thanks … congrats to your graduate
Well Brenda you did it again, these are perfect for the grads parties and yummy too.
Thanks
Tbese are great! Love them!
Easy peasy too
So clever and so fun!

Thank you!
How cool! Gotta grab the stuff for our party this weekend
Party on
These are cute! They’re a bit different from the plethora of reeses cup hats I’ve been seeing recently. Refreshing!
I am so happy that you like them
Hello! These are such a cute idea, and I just recently made these for a graduation party!! However, my sticks had chocolate on them from where I dipped the marshmallow. How did you dip your marshmallows in the melted chocolate to not get any chocolate on the sticks?
Hi Shayla, If you dip the tip of the stick in chocolate … insert it into the marshmallow … let the chocolate harden up … it will hold the marshmallow in place and should create a little rim of chocolate at the base of the marshmallow … then when you dip the entire marshmallow in chocolate be very careful not to dip it past that rim … I know it sounds a little time consuming … but worth it … or … you can clean HARDENED chocolate off the stick with a paring knife. I hope this helps for future projects
i made these and they were a hit. My husband had bought the extra large marshmallows – not a good choice, too top heavy and doesn’t fit graham cracker….- I used the Airheads Xtremes for the tassle and just cut them in 1/2 length wise and shortened them enough to hang over but not too long. Very cool. Thanks for the idea…..
Thank you Dawn
. I am so happy that you had success, despite the hubby boo-boo!
