Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 pops
Ingredients
- 12 large marshmallows
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 12 lollipop sticks
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your chocolate chips melt perfectly when you bake the pops.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This will prevent the pops from sticking and make for easier cleanup.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and have a sandy texture.
- Take each large marshmallow and insert a lollipop stick into the bottom, pushing it in about halfway. Make sure the stick is secure so the marshmallow doesn’t fall off during the dipping process.
- Roll each marshmallow on the stick into the graham cracker crumb mixture, ensuring that each marshmallow is fully coated. Press gently to help the crumbs adhere.
- Place the coated marshmallows on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one to allow for even melting.
- Once all marshmallows are coated and placed on the baking sheet, bake them in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed and slightly golden.
- While the marshmallows are baking, melt the chocolate chips. You can do this by placing them in a microwave-safe bowl and heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Once the marshmallows are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. This will help the chocolate adhere better.
- Dip the top of each puffy marshmallow into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. You can use a spoon to help coat the marshmallow if needed.
- After dipping in chocolate, place the pops back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. You can sprinkle additional graham cracker crumbs on top of the chocolate for an extra touch if desired.
- Let the chocolate set at room temperature, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to speed up the setting process.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, your Puffy Sheep S'more Pops are ready to serve! Enjoy them as a delightful treat for parties, gatherings, or just a fun snack at home.
Tips
- Use fresh, large marshmallows for the best puffing effect.
- Make sure your lollipop sticks are inserted securely to prevent marshmallows from falling off.
- For a smoother chocolate coating, use high-quality chocolate chips and melt them slowly.
- If you want a more decorative look, consider using white chocolate and adding cute sheep-like details with edible decorations.
- Keep an eye on the marshmallows while baking to prevent burning - they can go from perfectly golden to overdone quickly.
- Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving to ensure a clean, crisp finish.
- Store these pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days for maximum freshness.
