An easy, finger-food dessert that is perfect for parties, barbecues, or just Friday Night. A thin layer of milk chocolate ganache is spread onto Graham crackers and topped with homemade marshmallow frosting!
Easiest cooked frosting ever. Seriously cannot believe how fast this was and how little work I actually had to do to make it. That’s my kind of frosting! And making it gives you free license to torch things!
It’s like I missed my calling as a welder or something.
We smelled like a campfire for weeks but it was totally worth it for that little shared bit of melty, marshmallowy happiness.
These Homemade Marshmallow Frosting Smores Sticks are my tribute. Nothing competes with a campfire s'more (except maybe these smores crumble bars) but these little S'mores Sticks come close.
It’s all about the perfect marshmallow frosting and milk chocolate ganache. #fancy
They are super yummy to eat like this...
But may I suggest you take two and stick them together?
And then dip them in milk chocolate ganache? <-- too much?
I like to think of these as classy little party S'mores.
So get to the kitchen and get your party on! You probably already have all the ingredients. 🙂
Recipe
Homemade Marshmallow Frosting S'mores Sticks
Ingredients
For the Marshmallow Frosting:
- 4 egg whites
- 1 cup sugar
- pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- pinch Saigon cinnamon
For the Smores Sticks:
- 12 sheets Graham crackers
- ½ cup milk chocolate
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla
- Marshmallow Frosting
Instructions
Make the Marshmallow Frosting:
- Bring 1 inch of water to a simmer in a pot. In the bowl of your stand mixer add egg whites, sugar and salt, whisk to combine. Place bowl over the simmering water making sure that the bowl fits tightly but the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
- Heat the sugar mixture, whisking frequently, until a candy thermometer reads 120° F or they are hot to the touch. Remove bowl from heat and place in the base of your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
- Beat the mixture until cool and glossy. Add the vanilla and cinnamon (more to taste), and beat to incorporate.
- Spoon into a large piping bag fitted with your favorite tip. I used a Wilton 2D for these sticks.
Assembling:
- While the whites were cooking, make your ganache by combining chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power in 10 second increments until the cream is hot and the chocolate has begun to melt. Remove and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the vanilla.
- Using an offset spatula or a knife, smear a little chocolate on each graham cracker section. Allow to cool before piping frosting on each.
- I toasted mine with a blow torch (a mini one, Nana) but you could also do it under the broiler

These are the cutest S'mores I have ever seen! I think I'll have to get myself a little blow torch so I can make these adorable marshmallows. I'd imagine it is much more fun that using the broiler.
Thanks, Thao! So much more fun!
Love these! Is it weird that I really like that campfire smell in my clothes? It brings back memories 🙂
No that's not weird at all! I like the smell too but it was so intense that it was overwhelming 🙂
I want some. I haven't had a s'mores in forever. Campfire s'mores are the best. It has been even longer since I've had those. And btw, there is a scene in my book that takes place in front of a campfire (very romantic lol) where the characters are making s'mores. It had me craving s'mores as I was writing it.
oooo a romantic smores campfire scene....can't wait! Fortunately you can just go make these little smores sticks...all the fun without the mess and campfire.
I LOVE that they're finger food - sometimes smores get so messy, but this sounds like the perfect solution! You never cease to amaze me with your seriously creative (and delicious!) ideas!
The ultimate indulgent snack 🙂 No mess s'mores. That would have been a great name!
OMG Lindsey!! This smores sticks look so so amazing.. I am drooling.. Oh-so-delicious!!
Thanks, Arpita!! You're so sweet
Ummm...holy cripes, Lindsey! These look amazing. I love how you took a classic s'more and turned it into a work of art. That marshmallow frosting is perfectly torched! Now you have totally inspired me to get some s'mores going...maybe it will help me forget that it's cold outside. I'll just put on some Jimmy Buffett, toast up some of these s'mores and pretend that it's mid-July. Pinned!
HAHA! Thanks, David. How do you always know the most perfect thing to say? Bring out the torch and get some smores going!!! Thanks for the pin!
DROOL!
Thanks, Linz! xo
These look amazing Lindsey! And your trip sounds ssssoooo fun! It made me feel like I was there with you (not in a creepy way, of course!), but I can definitely smell the s'mores! I can totally taste them dipped in that glorious chocolate ganache, smooshed together for the perfect s'more sandwich. Sistah, you totally know these are pinned, pinned & pinned. I'm saying, these are multiple boards worthy! xoxo!
Thanks, Kristi! It was! I would never think you creepy! Thanks for the pin! Mmmm wish I had more.
1-SO FUN! Def. glad you commandeered a s'more--I'm so jealous. It sounds like so much fun!
2-These s'mores sticks are gorgeous! LOVE that marshmallow frosting all torched up (I cannot wait to get my torch that I registered for!)
Thanks, Kayle! It definitely made the smore that much better! Get ready to torch everything. Sometimes I have to restrain myself!
Definitely love these - sounds a good idea for my daughter's birthday party:) I am sure that kids will adore these
I think they will love them! If you make the frosting then they can help assemble them too 🙂 win-win!
OMG! I LOVE smores! These look so pretty and delicious! 🙂
Thanks, Valya!
A-mazing! Been totally getting in my smores lately! These are gorgeous!!!
Thanks, Jessica!
Holy cow. That marshmallow. I'm in loooooove!
Haha thanks, Dorothy!
Wow Lindsey, this looks amazing! Your pictures are beautiful, you are such a talented photographer! 🙂 Pinned!
Aww, shucks. Thanks, Manali! These were hard because marshmallow frosting is such a pure white!
Your trip to Chicago and the farm sounded like so much fun - minus the fact that there were no s'mores but at least you guys got one to enjoy between you two 🙂 This homemade marshmallow frosting looks so fluffy and amazing! Love that you made these fun s'mores sticks too - such a fun and delicious treat!
Sometimes one s'more will do it! And sometimes you need dozens of little sticks 🙂
Such a fun dessert, it looks beautiful! Will definitely try it, i love s'mores! This homemade march mellow frosting will be great on cupcakes, too!
Ah you know me too well, Mira. That is why I made it 😉
I LOVE S'mores, and these are freaking adorable! Love those beautiful marshmallow swirls. Pinned. 🙂
Thanks for the pin, Marcie! I thought they were pretty cute too
ok, I am so pumped to try this homemade Marshmallow Frosting!!!! love! and the chocolate ganache? Are you kidding me?! Always!!! love this!
Thanks, Alice!! I could eat the ganache by the spoonful...may have done actually...
Wait - that question about the dipping in chocolate ganache being too much...that's a hypothetical question right - I mean - really - is there ever such a thing as too much - when chocolate is involved? 😉
I have yet to successfully make a cooked frosting - I need to try yours 4 sure!
Have you and your hubs made it to Cagle's Dairy here in Georgia? They are a working dairy, but also do the whole hayride, corn maze, food, hot dogs around the campfire dealio - and THEY have the fixins for smores (though my daughter and I smuggled in extra marshmallows the last time we went)
Totally hypothetical. Never enough chocolate ganache. Never.
We need to GO!!!! That sounds great. I'll suggest it for our next date night!
These are gorgeous!! I am glad you had fun in Chicago!!
THanks, Renee! We at least made time for some fun...and apple fritters.
This is such a fun treat, Lindsey! I love the name of smores sticks. And that frosting looks amazing! Wish I had this for breakfast! Pinned!
Haha! These are too sweet for breakfast even for me! Thanks for the pin!
Goodness, your pictures are beautiful! So bright and full of delicious treats! I'm all about these smores sticks, what a great idea and what a great tasting snack. Adding these to our next movie night!
Thanks, Pamela! These would be perfect for movie night!
It would have been pure torture to sit by a campfire and not be able to enjoy a s'more! I can see why you had to make these s'mores sticks as soon as you got home. These look amazing, especially that marshmallow frosting! I'll say it again... I've got to get myself a kitchen torch!
So true! Husband to the rescue! You do need a kitchen torch...if for no other reason that fun. So fun. Probably too much fun, actually.
You know...I've never made ganache! These look beyond yummy! I can't wait to try them!
Ganache is one of those things that is super easy to make but sounds all fancy! One of the many reasons I love it 😉
