These Strawberry S’mores will be the hit of your summer BBQ!
Sometimes you just need an idea more than a full recipe. And today happens to be your lucky day!
Call it lazy, call it brilliant..whatever…Because what’s more summery than strawberries? S’mores maybe?
Yep, look at what I did there. Strawberry S’mores for the win.
All these require is assembly.
Start with strawberries…Wash them and cut off the tops.
Make sure you dry the strawberries well before you move on to the next step.
When you’re ready get some milk chocolate, graham cracker crumbs and large marshmallows ready.For 2 pints of strawberries you can use about 1 1/2 cups of both melted milk chocolate and graham cracker crumbs.
Cut your marshmallows in half…
Get yourself a cute toothpick or skewer and place the marshmallow half on top of the strawberry like so…Next dip the bottom of the strawberry in the milk chocolate…
Tap off the excess chocolate and then dip it in the graham crumbs…
Let that set up, either at room temperature or even in the fridge.
Finally go ahead and torch your marshmallows. you might want to do this part right before serving, so the marshmallow is a little melty.And that’s it!
Such a fun little treat, isn’t it?

Strawberry S’mores
Ingredients
- 2 pints cleaned and dried strawberries.
- 1 1/2 cups melted milk chocolate
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- about half a bag of large marshmallows cut in half (you’ll need one marshmallow for every 2 strawberries)
- kitchen torch or lighter
- long toothpicks or skewers
Instructions
- Cut the tops off the strawberries.
- Place one of the marshmallow halves on top of the strawberry and skewer it with a toothpick.
- Dip the strawberry into the milk chocolate and tap off the excess.
- Immediately dip it into the graham cracker crumbs.
- Set aside on a parchment lined baking sheet to set up. You can place them in the refrigerator to set up faster.
- Before you’re ready to serve toast the marshmallow with your kitchen torch.
- Serve immediately.
I love this concept, however the execution failed miserably. I tried small skewers and the strawberries kept falling off. I tried using toothpicks with the same result. I tried larger skewers and again the strawberries would fall off every time. Then the graham cracker crumbs would clump up so badly it pulled the chocolate off the strawberry. Despite the difficulties the recipe was a hit at the picnic my daughter took them to.
These are so adorable! We linked them in our recent July 4th roundup as a bonus recipe. 🙂 Thank you for sharing! http://www.samplememore.com/healthier-july-4th-recipes/
I used a papercrafting heat gun to cook my marshmallows. Probably took a bit longer to brown them (we don’t burn them) but worked beautifully and sooo safe! So yummy!
Oh my…these look heavenly!! What a wonderful idea 🙂
