How to Make These S’mores Cake Pops

Start by baking the chocolate cake according to the package directions.

Once the cake comes out of the oven and is still warm, crumble it into a large bowl and mix in the entire jar of chocolate frosting until fully combined.

Using a cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the cake mixture and place a mini marshmallow in the center of each scoop, then roll it between your hands to form a smooth ball.

Roll each cake ball in crushed graham cracker pieces until fully coated, then place them on a baking sheet and refrigerate until firm.

Once chilled, melt the chocolate bark according to package instructions. Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off, and place back onto the baking sheet.

If desired, sprinkle additional crushed graham crackers on top of each cake pop before the chocolate sets. Let the cake pops set completely before serving.

Storage Tips for This Recipe

• Store cake pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• If stacking cake pops, place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
• For longer storage, cake pops can be frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
• Keep cake pops chilled if your kitchen is warm, as the chocolate coating can soften.
• Allow refrigerated cake pops to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.

Common FAQ’s Related to this Recipe

• Can I use a different cake flavor instead of chocolate?
  • Yes! While chocolate gives the classic s’mores flavor, vanilla or graham-flavored cake works great too.
• Do I have to use a boxed cake mix?
  • No, you can use homemade chocolate cake if you prefer. A boxed mix just keeps the recipe quick and easy.
• Can I substitute the chocolate frosting?
  • Yes, any chocolate frosting will work. You can also use vanilla frosting for a slightly lighter flavor.
• What can I use instead of chocolate bark?
  • Chocolate melting wafers or candy melts work well. Regular chocolate chips can be used, but adding a little coconut oil helps them melt smoother.
• Do the marshmallows melt inside the cake pops?
  • They soften slightly but mostly hold their shape, giving you a fun marshmallow surprise in the center.
• Can I make these cake pops ahead of time?
  • Yes! These are great for making ahead and store well in the refrigerator or freezer.
• Why do my cake pops crack after dipping?
  • Cracking usually happens when the cake balls are too cold and the chocolate is too warm. Let the cake balls sit at room temperature for a few minutes before dipping.
