These Chocolate-Dipped S’mores Sticks are a genius, no-bake twist on the classic campfire treat. By using marshmallow creme and a quick chill step, you get all the flavor of a s’more in a clean, handheld snack.
Here is the full recipe based on the method shown:
Graham Cracker S’mores Dipped Sticks
- Prep time: 15 minutes
- Chill time: 30 minutes
- Yields: Approx. 12–16 sticks
Ingredients
- 1 box Honey Maid Graham Crackers
- 1 jar (7 oz) Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme
- 1 bag (12 oz) Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Chips
- 1 tbsp Crisco Vegetable Shortening (helps thin the chocolate for a smooth dip)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Graham Crackers
Carefully break the graham cracker sheets along the perforated lines into long rectangular sticks. You will need two sticks for every one “sandwich.”
2. Assemble the Sandwiches
Spread a generous layer of marshmallow creme onto one graham cracker stick, then top it with a second stick to create a sandwich.
Note: Don’t overfill, or the marshmallow will ooze out the sides during the dipping process.
3. The Crucial Chill
Place the assembled sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 20 minutes. This step is vital because it firms up the marshmallow creme, preventing the sandwich from sliding apart when you dip it into the warm chocolate.
4. Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
5. Dip and Decorate
Remove the sticks from the freezer. Dip each stick halfway into the melted chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place them back onto the parchment paper. For the textured look seen in the photo, lightly drag a fork or spatula over the wet chocolate.
6. Final Set
Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes (or until the chocolate has completely hardened).
💡 Pro Tips for Success
- The Shortening: Don’t skip the Crisco! It gives the chocolate a professional sheen and prevents it from cracking when you take a bite.
- Storage: Keep these in an airtight container in the fridge. They taste even better when the graham cracker stays cold and crunchy!
- Variations: Sprinkle a little sea salt or crushed graham cracker crumbs over the wet chocolate before it sets for extra texture.
Enjoy your “mess-free” s’mores!
