How to Make S’mores Cake Pops
Ingredients
- 10 oz milk chocolate melting wafers
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 pack graham crackers
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 12 to 16 cake pop sticks
Directions
First things first—bake your vanilla cake according to the box instructions. Let it cool completely before moving on. Once cooled, crumble the cake into a big mixing bowl. Add the marshmallow fluff and mix it all up until it’s fully combined and holds its shape.
Next, roll the mixture into 12 to 16 balls and pop them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Melt about 1/3 cup of your chocolate, then dip the tip of each cake pop stick into it before inserting it into each cake ball. This helps them stay put. Pop the whole tray in the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up.
While those chill, crush your graham crackers into fine crumbs. Melt the rest of the chocolate. Dip each cake pop into the chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Then roll the bottom half in graham cracker crumbs. Top with mini marshmallows. If you have a kitchen torch, you can lightly toast the marshmallows for that real campfire vibe. If you don’t have a torch, you can pop them under the broiler for a few seconds—or just leave them as-is. Freeze them for another 10 minutes to help the coating harden. Then they’re ready to serve!
