S’mores Brownie Pops

Hi friends,

I don’t know about you, but, for me, THE dessert choice of the summer are s’mores. There is literally nothing better than gathering around a campfire with friends, telling stories, singing songs, and roasting perfectly golden-brown marshmallows for s’mores.

My favorite dessert every other time of the year are brownies. Brownies are legitimately the best and anyone who says otherwise are sad and wrong. ;) Since I’m getting my house in a summer-y mood, I thought it’d be appropriate to share a summer-y recipe with yinz too.

I decided to combine my all time favorite dessert (brownies) with my all time favorite summer dessert (s’mores) to create these oh, so delicious s’mores brownie pops! I was a little curious what I would use for the marshmallow flavor for my brownie pops, and then I learned that Wilton had marshmallow flavored melting chocolates. Score! And then I learned that those were limited edition and weren’t around right now. I was bummed and didn’t know how I could substitute it. And then I found this:

This is marshmallow flavored ice cream topping and, let me tell you, it tastes like delicious, liquefied marshmallows. Ok, that sounds gross. But that’s the only way I know how to describe it! (And no, this isn’t sponsored. It’s just delicious.) It was the perfect marshmallow flavoring for my brownie pops, but it was a bit too sticky and wouldn’t harden like I thought it would. But have no fear! I had a dream of s’mores brownie pops and s’mores brownie pops I would have!

Supply List

• your favorite brownie recipe
• Smucker’s marshmallow ice cream topping, 1/8 cup
• white chocolate morsels, melted, 1 cup
• graham crackers, crushed
• pretzel rods
• Hershey’s chocolate bar (optional)

Instructions

1. Bake your brownies according to the recipe’s instructions. Let completely cool.
2. “Fluff” the brownies up with a fork, and roll into bit sized balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and refrigerate for  hour.
3. Melt the white chocolate morsels completely. Mix in the marshmallow ice cream topping until smooth. You may need to pop the mixture back into the microwave a couple times to ensure that it stays at the proper melted consistency.
4. Coat the brownie pops in the chocolate/marshmallow mixture and place back on the wax paper.
5. Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers and stick a pretzel rod into it. This will act as the lollipop stick.
6. For extra garnish, add a piece of a Hershey’s chocolate bar to the top of the brownie pop.
7. Pop back in the fridge until ready to serve!

These turned out exactly how I wanted! It’s a perfect addition to any summer party you’re planning, or even just to make for a night in. ;)
