Happy S’mores Day! What’s that? You didn’t know? It’s okay. After all, I’m two days early.
[That’s certainly a first.]
Last summer I learned that August 10 is National S’mores Day. Right away, I decided to make a big deal about this holiday next summer – which would be this summer. So for the past few months, I’ve been building up to the big day by trying and sharing the tastiest s’mores recipes I could find.
This weekend, I made the easiest of all the s’mores recipes I’d bookmarked, tagged or otherwise marked as must-try. Marshmallow S’mores Pops (which I first spotted on Gimme Some Oven) take three ingredients and about 10 minutes to make, and the result is a sweet shot of pure, sugary s’mores goodness.
For a quick treat for the kids or a simple snack for the picnic, give these a try.
Marshmallow S’mores Pops
Ingredients:
* 1 bag large marshmallows
* 1 package Hershey chocolate chips
* 1 package graham crackers
Melt the chocolate chips. Using a toothpick, skewer or (preferably) lollipop stick as a handle, dip the marshmallows in the melted chocolate and then roll in the graham crackers.
That’s really all there is to it! I told you it was easy.
Out of all the s’mores recipes I’ve tried, I believe the cookie s’mores bar was my favorite. But I must tell you that my friend Amanda said my s’mores cupcakes were the best cupcakes she’d ever tasted. Or something like that.
Do you like s’mores-flavored dishes? What’s your favorite?
P.S. Look for one more fun s’mores post next week! I’d love to hear your old-fashioned s’mores memories and stories then!

Now that is my idea of a smore. Great picture. Come over and visit us. We have a wonderful country rib recipe today.
My kids LOOOOVE these.
We made them a few weeks ago with those GIANT marshmallows and they looked at me like they’d won the lottery!
LOVE her cutie patootie face in that picture!
Thanks. She was pretty excited about the pops. I can’t imagine what she’d do with a giant one! :)
Mary, those look DELICIOUS!!
Brilliant. Love. Copying (the kids won’t know I’m a copycat!) Thanks for sharing.
I was a copycat, too, so no harm in that!
Fun idea and much less messy, I think! Thanks for the recipe and linking to TMTT. :-)
Yes, Lisa, it WAS much less messy!
Sounds like a good snack…so good that I will make some this weekend for the children who will be visiting! Thanks for the easy idea!
This is a cute, portable idea! Love it!
There are recipes I see and think ‘Why didn’t I think of that?!!?’ This is one of them.
Love it and so simple.
I would love for you to share this on my mommy solution meme!
