Now that Memo­r­i­al Day has passed and the fore­cast for this week­end in Las Vegas is 100°, I think it’s pret­ty safe to say that Sum­mer is here! My daugh­ter, Anabelle, is about to kick off the sea­son with her very first camp­ing trip with her Girl Scout troop this week­end and I’ve been spend­ing the week try­ing to pre­pare and pack appro­pri­ate­ly for her adven­ture. One of the first thoughts that popped into my mind {oth­er than the fact that I’m going to miss her so!} is that no camp­fire and Sum­mer get-togeth­er is com­plete with­out S’MORES! I mean, of course I would auto­mat­i­cal­ly go direct­ly to the sweets, right?! Lol!

One of the most syn­ony­mous char­ac­ter­i­za­tions of Sum­mer­time in our house­hold are, with­out a doubt, these deli­cious treats! I even made some s’mores and its ingre­di­ents out of fon­dant in this Gimme S’more tuto­r­i­al last Sum­mer! Though we had a S’mores Bar at our Ari­zona Cow­boy par­ty a few years back {thanks to the avail­able bon­fire pit}, sev­er­al of our Sum­mer par­ty loca­tions did­n’t have access to a fire, so I had to impro­vise, such as at our Take a Hike and Sil­ly Old Bear cel­e­bra­tions. I remem­ber try­ing to come up with a s’more recipe I could make before­hand to dis­play on the dessert tables and I nat­u­ral­ly went to a treat on a stick because, not only are they super cute and add dimen­sion to any pre­sen­ta­tion, they are also eas­i­ly portable!

So, I decid­ed that these s’mores pops would be the per­fect goody that I could pre­pare before­hand and send along with my daugh­ter so she could share them with her troop at camp!

I went to my local Wal­mart to pick up the items includ­ed in Anabelle’s camp­ing pack­ing check­list {i.e. bug spray, flash­light, water bot­tle, sun­screen, etc.} and while I was there in the sea­son­al Sum­mer aisle, I ran into this awe­some dis­play with all the ingre­di­ents I need­ed to make the s’mores pops! I did­n’t know how the heck they knew I was com­ing, but I was thank­ful they had it all ready for me in one place! 😉 Scroll down for the super sim­ple recipe and tuto­r­i­al to make the s’mores pops for your own Sum­mer­time activ­i­ties and celebrations!

Mate­ri­als Needed:

♥ Her­shey’s Milk Choco­late bars

♥ Hon­ey Maid Gra­ham Crack­er Squares {FYI ~ exclu­sive­ly at Walmart!}

♥ Kraft’s Jet-Puffed Marshmallows

♥ Sticks or straws for the pops

♥ Microwav­able bowls {2} and spoon

♥ Foam to insert the s’mores pops

♥ Rolling pin

♥ Large zip plas­tic bag

*Keep in mind the ingre­di­ent quan­ti­ties list­ed below yield approx­i­mate­ly 1 dozen s’mores pops. Adjust accord­ing­ly to make more!

Step 1:

Break apart 2–3 Her­shey’s Milk Choco­late bars into a microwav­able bowl. Pre­pare your foam ahead of time by uti­liz­ing a stick to make holes to lat­er insert your pops.

Step 2:

Insert approx­i­mate­ly 8 Hon­ey Maid Gra­ham Crack­er Squares into your large zip bag and seal it. I uti­lized addi­tion­al crack­ers in this image to make addi­tion­al crumbs to use as a filler in my dis­play. Then, begin to break the gra­ham crack­ers by using the rolling pin over the bag. I like to light­ly roll over the crack­ers, while leav­ing some larg­er crumbs for not only aes­thet­ic pur­pos­es, but also to give that extra crunch when bit­ing into them! When com­plete, pour the crack­er crumbs into a bowl.

Step 3:

Microwave the Her­shey’s Milk Choco­late for 20–30 sec­onds, remove the bowl and stir it with a spoon. If the choco­late isn’t com­plete­ly melt­ed and still requires addi­tion­al time, go ahead and microwave it in very small incre­ments, being super care­ful not to over­cook it and cause it to hard­en. Dip your stick/straw in the melt­ed choco­late and insert it in a marsh­mal­low, allow­ing it to hard­en a bit to act as a glue. Repeat this step for the remain­der of your pops.

Step 4:

Take one of the marsh­mal­lows on a stick and coat it in the melt­ed choco­late. Cov­er the entire sur­face, but make sure to tap it enough to remove as much as the excess as pos­si­ble. Begin to roll it around in the bowl of gra­ham crack­er crumbs and fill in any gaps by sprin­kling the crumbs with your fin­gers. I sug­gest allow­ing the choco­late to set a bit while lay­ing in the bowl of crack­er crumbs before sit­ting it upright in the foam to avoid any drips! Repeat with the remain­der of the pops.

And voilà! You’re done! Super sim­ple, right?! In addi­tion to the fact that these Sum­mer treats can be tak­en on the go, I just love how easy they are to make, espe­cial­ly with kids! They are fun to make and there’s no pres­sure to make them look perfect!

Of course, you can eas­i­ly dress them up and make them even cuter! I made the s’mores pops in the past with lol­lipop or wood­en sticks, but this time around, I want­ed to spruce them up with the use of col­ored paper straws and cus­tomize them with lit­tle tags that read: Girl Scout Campers have S’MORE fun! Since Anabelle will be tak­ing them with her for her fel­low troop mem­bers, I pack­aged them in small lit­tle plas­tic bags and tied them with twine. Between straws and rib­bons and tags, the pos­si­bilites are end­less to per­son­al­iz­ing them to any occasion!

Though I’m just a tiny bit anx­ious, I know Anabelle is going to have an amaz­ing time with her Girl Scout troop at camp this week­end and I’m so hap­py to be able to pro­vide a lit­tle taste of home to her activ­i­ties with these S’mores Pops that don’t even require a campfire!
