S’mores Popcorn
S’mores Popcorn is crunchy caramel popcorn drizzled with chocolate and tossed with mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs. It makes a great gift (and snack) for any occasion.
It’s no secret that I love s’mores, especially the gooey toasted marshmallows and the mess of melted chocolate, so when I had to chance to review The S’mores Cookbook by Susan Whetzel, I jumped at the opportunity.
Back in August, she invited me to guest post on her blog Doughmesstic with a s’mores round up.
Today, I’m sharing my thoughts on her book plus her recipe for S’mores Popcorn. Once you see how easy this recipe is, you’ll never eat plain caramel popcorn again.
The S’mores Cookbook is filled with straight-forward s’mores desserts that you would expect to find in this book, like Oatmeal Chocolate Chip S’mores Cookies, Chocolate Graham Pancakes, and S’mores Cupcakes.
Because I am a huge s’mores fanatic, I think about s’mores recipes all the time.
Susan’s recipes are on the simple side, so no intimidation here.
After bookmarking a few recipes to try, such as S’mores Turnovers and S’mores Eclairs, I decided on S’mores Popcorn.
With the holidays coming up, more and more people are relying on homemade gifts from the kitchen. With the way prices are these days, I don’t blame them one bit (I do the same thing).
This s’mores popcorn takes little effort with big results. You can easily knock out a few bags’ worth to give away (or fill up your snack bowl and keep for yourself).
I did leave out the melted white chocolate chips since I didn’t have any.
Normally I would make my own caramel popcorn for this mix, but I was out of unpopped kernels. Since I had to go to the store anyway, I bought a box of Fiddle Faddle to save time.
If you are feeling ambitious enough, you can make your own homemade caramel popcorn using stovetop popcorn.

If you’re looking for an easy sweet snack, make this 4 ingredient Smores Popcorn! It’s crunchy caramel popcorn drizzled with chocolate then tossed with mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs. It also makes a great gift for the holidays.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
- 2 cups caramel popcorn (homemade or store bought)
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons crushed graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Fill a medium pan with about an inch of water then bring to a simmer. Once simmering, turn the heat all the way down to low.
- Add chocolate to a heatproof bowl larger than your pan then place over the water (the bowl should not be touching the water - the steam will melt the chocolate). Stir with a rubber spatula or until completely melted.
- Drizzle half of the chocolate onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Add popcorn, marshmallows, and graham crackers in a single layer, gently pressing into the chocolate. Drizzle the remaining chocolate on top.
- Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes. Break it into bite-sized pieces then serve at room temperature.
Popcorn is best eaten the day it's made but can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.
