Tips for Making Chocolate Dipped S’mores on a Stick
See the printable recipe card below for exact times and temperatures, but here are a few of our favorite tips to help you follow along.
- Break graham crackers into squares, place them on prepared cookie sheet then top each graham cracker with a marshmallow.
- Bake marshmallow topped graham crackers. The marshmallows should begin to puff.
- Remove the pan from the oven then top each marshmallow with chocolate squares followed by another graham cracker.
- Press cake pop sticks or paper straws into the middle of each S’mores sandwich then refrigerate.
- Crush graham crackers then set the crumbs aside.
- Prepare a cookie sheet with a layer of wax paper.
- After an hour remove the S’mores sandwiches from the fridge.
- Add chocolate chips and coconut oil (or shortening) to a microwave safe dish. Heat the dish in the microwave for 60 seconds then stir well. If all chips have not melted return chocolate to the microwave and heat for an additional 15 seconds then stir.
- Dip each S’mores on a stick into the chocolate, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs or sprinkles over the sandwiches before the chocolate sets then place them on wax paper.
- Allow Chocolate Dipped S’mores to rest until set. I usually put mine back in the fridge to set.

- 8 big Marshmallows
- 8 Chocolate Candybar Squares
- 8 Cake Pop Sticks or Paper Straws
- 1 bag Milk Chocolate Chips

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F degrees then prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Break graham crackers into squares, place them on prepared cookie sheet then top each graham cracker with a marshmallow.
- Bake marshmallow topped graham crackers for 3 minutes. The marshmallows should begin to puff; you may need to remove the pan a little earlier just as you may need to allow the marshmallows to heat a little longer.
- Remove the pan from the oven then top each marshmallow with chocolate squares followed by another graham cracker. Press cake pop sticks or paper straws into the middle of each S’mores sandwich then refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, crush graham crackers then set the crumbs aside and prepare an additional cookie sheet with a layer of wax paper. After an hour remove the S’mores sandwiches from the fridge.
- Add chocolate chips and coconut oil (or shortening) to a microwave safe dish. Heat the dish in the microwave for 60 seconds then stir well. If all chips have not melted return chocolate to the microwave and heat for an additional 15 seconds then stir.
- Dip each S’mores on a stick into the chocolate, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs or sprinkles over the sandwiches before the chocolate sets then place them on wax paper. Allow Chocolate Dipped S’mores to rest until set. Keep refrigerated.

The directions state to place a chocolate square on marshmallows after baking then place the second graham cracker on top, but in your photos, you see no sign of a chocolate candybar square at all. Since you dip them in chocolate chips do you skip the chocolate candy bar part?
Hi MaryLynn!
There is not a picture of the added chocolate squares but I assure you they are there. 🙂 After making these S’mores on a Stick for friends I asked them for feedback on the chocolate as I was wondering the same thing about skipping on the squares. My friends suggested I not take away the chocolate on the inside. That said, I say if you’d like to pass on the chocolate – give it a try then let me know your thoughts!!
Thanks for stopping by! ~ Trish
Wanting to make the chocolate dip smores on a stick for a church function – will make 400 – how far ahead can i make them. Do they keep well? and would i keep them in the fridge?
Hi Carol!
Thank you for stopping by! I have kept my S’mores on a Stick in a sealed container in the refrigerator for two weeks. I highly suspect that they would last even longer if my family would give them the opportunity. All the best to you!

Hi I know the marshamallow gets melty in the oven but if adding a chocolate piece on top and then another graham cracker, how does the top graham cracker stick when the chocolate isn’t melted and is solid. Essentially, how does the whole sandwich stay together?
Hi Liz,
Great question! As soon as you place the chocolate bar on the hot marshmallow it will start to melt. The chocolate piece is also smaller that the large marshmallow so when you put the top piece of Graham cracker on, there will be hot marshmallow to stick it all together. Then when you refrigerate it, per the instructions, the whole sandwich will firm up and stick together.
We hope you’ll give it a try. Let us know how it works for you.
Best wishes,
Carrie
