How to Make S'mores Skewers
These s'mores skewers couldn't be much easier. In just 4 simple steps, you'll assemble, dip, coat, and chill them until the chocolate is perfectly set.
Step 1: Assemble the Skewers. Line a rimmed baking sheet with wax or parchment paper that will fit in your freezer. Thread 3 marshmallows onto each 6-inch bamboo skewer, leaving enough room at one end to comfortably hold the skewer.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate. Melt the chocolate candy coating in the microwave according to the package directions, stirring as directed until completely smooth. Dip each marshmallow skewer into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.
Step 3: Dip and Coat. Immediately roll each chocolate-covered skewer in the finely crushed graham crackers until the top half or one side is evenly coated.
Step 4: Chill and Serve. Arrange the skewers on the lined baking sheets and freeze for 1 hour, or until completely set. Serve chilled or frozen and enjoy with a caramel milkshake.
Expert Tips
- Prepare Before Dipping: Line your baking sheets, make room in your freezer, crush the graham crackers finely in a food processor, and assemble all the skewers before melting the chocolate so you can work efficiently. You may need 2 baking sheets to hold the entire batch.
- Leave a Handle: Don't push the marshmallows all the way to the end of the skewer. Leave enough exposed bamboo to comfortably hold each one while dipping.
- Melt Chocolate Carefully: Follow the candy coating package directions and avoid overheating it. Chocolate coating can burn and become thick or clumpy if heated too long.
- Let Excess Chocolate Drip Off: Hold each dipped skewer over the bowl briefly before adding the graham crackers. This creates a neater coating and prevents chocolate from pooling around the treats on the baking sheet.
- Use a Lined Pan: Wax or parchment paper prevents the chocolate from sticking and makes the finished skewers easy to remove once set.

Freezer: Freeze in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Separate layers with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking. They can be eaten frozen or allowed to soften briefly before serving.
Make Ahead: Make the skewers a day or two before serving and keep them refrigerated. This makes them especially convenient for parties and gatherings.
