A s’more is a quintessential summer dessert and this easy S’more Pie Pops recipe captures the goodness of s’mores in a flaky pie crust.
S’mores are the summer desserts that go hand in hand with fires. All summer long, we have graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate bars on hand so that we are ready when the mood strikes.
This S’more Pie Pops Recipe has a flaky pie crust instead of the graham crackers. I thought about putting a graham cracker inside each pie on a stick, but my kids didn’t want me to, so I left them out.
If you want to include the graham crackers, put a cracker segment in each pie pop or sprinkle them with crushed graham crackers.
How To Make S’more Pie Pops
Step One: Chocolate
Cut a 4.4 oz XL Hershey’s chocolate bar into segments.
Step Two: Dough
Unroll a refrigerated pie crust onto a lightly floured surface.
Or if you prefer, roll out a homemade pie crust.
Step Three: Cut
Cut the pie crust circle into a rectangle and cut out six rectangles of dough using the Hershey’s bar pieces as a guide for the size.
Step Four: Dough Scraps
Take the dough scraps, knead them together and roll it out to cut out two more rectangles. I was able to make four large S’more Pie Pops from one crust.
Step Five: Marshmallows
Put three chocolate bar segments on four of the rectangles of pie crust.
Top the candy bars with mini marshmallows.
Step Six: Lollipop Sticks
Put another rectangle of dough on top of the marshmallows and add a lollipop stick.
Step Seven: Fold
Fold up the edges of the dough and press to seal.
Step Eight: Crimp
Use a fork to crimp the edge together.
Step Nine: Bake
Place the pie pops on a baking sheet. Brush them with a beaten egg white and sprinkle with granulated sugar or sugar crystals.
Bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes.
When the s’more pie pops come out of the oven, let them cool for a couple of minutes and then press the lollipop sticks down into the chocolate. That way, once the chocolate hardens the stick will be embedded in it.
S’more Pie Pops FAQs
1. Where are the graham crackers? These aren’t truly s’mores without them! My kids didn’t want me to add graham crackers. They said the crust was enough. If you want graham crackers, put them underneath the chocolate segments. Or crush the graham crackers and sprinkle them inside and/or outside.
2. Can I stop the marshmallows from leaking out? The mini marshmallows puff up when baking and stretch the pie crust. The liquified marshmallows can leak out from any holes that were already there or ones that are made during the stretching. The flavor of the marshmallows is still there though.
3. Could I toast the marshmallow BEFORE adding them to the pie pops for that toasted marshmallow taste? Yes! Toast the mini marshmallows under the broiler, on a pan lined with parchment paper. Watch them carefully and remove when golden brown.
4. Can I use puff pastry instead of pie crust? Yes. Bake puff pastry s’more pops at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.
5. Can I make these s’more pie pops on the grill? Yes, check out my recipe for s’mores hand pies here. If you want the lollipop stick, insert it after you’ve finished grilling them while the chocolate is still soft.
6. Do I have to use a lollipop stick? No. You can use a popsicle stick instead or make hand pies without any sticks.
7. Any suggestion to try for keeping the marshmallows in or for more marshmallow flavor? Try putting marshmallow cream on top of the chocolate and then adding the mini marshmallows like I did for the s’mores hand pies.
Or try toasting the marshmallows before adding them to the pie pops (instructions above). Another option is to try adding some Jet-Puffed Mallow Bits since they are crunchy marshmallows.
The mini marshmallows will puff up and may disappear, but the crust will keep the shape of them. Some of the liquid marshmallows leaked out of the pie pops, but it didn’t matter. My kids absolutely loved these pie pops. They tasted just like s’mores!

I’m so glad I found this recipe.
Couple of questions: If I’m not making these for children and am instead making them for just me, can I just omit the lollipop sticks altogether? Also, is there any significance for the egg white specifically, or can I just go ahead and use a regular beaten egg, yolk and all?
Tonia says
Hi Erin,
Yes you can omit the lollipop sticks. As far as the egg wash goes, Martha Stewart says http://www.marthastewart.com/264313/pie-crust-101 “For a shiny pie crust, brush the unbaked top crust with an egg wash made from one egg and 2 tablespoons cream.”
Best of luck,

Christina says
They look really good and all but I couldn’t make them because some of this stuff (pie crusts, Hershey’s chocolate, mini marshmallows) Are not available in my country… The idea is great though.
nora says
so cute and great for kids , but one question though can I do it with puff pastry?
Tonia says
Hi Nora, I’ve never tried it with puff pastry but I imagine it would be delicious! Best of luck!
Nicole says
Do you need the stick or can you just make little pastries that can be hand held?
Tonia says
Hi Nicole! They could totally be a hand pie! Have a great weekend!
Julie Stone says
Could you use melted butter instead of egg whites? Any other substitute? Thx!
Tonia says
Hi Julie,
I’ve never tried using a substitute for egg whites but here is what I found on the Versatile Vegetarian blog http://versatilekitchen.blogspot.com/2011/05/egg-substitutes.html:
Best egg wash replacer:
Egg wash gives such a beautiful color to the baked bread or roll or pie crust, that it makes a very appetizing dish. Best alternative to egg wash is by using heavy cream. Brush with heavy cream. Since everyone doesn’t have heavy cream on hand all the time (I know I don’t), other alternative is to mix equal parts of oil, milk and sugar. Add a pinch of salt and whisk and brush the unbaked loaves. It gives a beautiful color since sugar caramelizes and browns the dough.
I hope it works for you!

I live in Edgewood, NM and we’re under extreme fire restrictions no open fires anywhere. Well I’ve been craving S’mores and with this recipe I think I’m going to satisfy my cravings. Can’t wait!
Taylor says
I bought all the ingredients to bake this today … my only question is once I bake them can they be reheated and eaten a day or two later? Thanks!!
Tonia says
Hey Taylor, my kids ate them the next couple of days but they didn’t warm them up. But like other pies, I would think you could heat them up. Best of luck!

Eley says
This idea is great ! But I tried these just now and they came out a lot different 🙁 The dough was over cooked for 14 minutes, they were sort of dry, and something was lacking without the marshmallows! I just cut them in half, shoved marshmallows into the spaces, and ate them like that ! Next time, I’ll either try different dough or less cooking time, stuffing ‘mallows in, as well as a powdered sugar topping for little s’more pastries 😉
Tonia says
Hello Eley, I’m sorry to hear that they didn’t turn out for you but I’m happy that you found a way to salvage them! I would love to hear how they turn out the next time you try them with the changes you plan to make. Have a great week! ~Tonia
melissa says
I tried them and they were dry. They looked good, but very deceitful! It lacked the marshmallow taste.
Allyson says
I agree…mine didn’t have any marshmallows, they completely melted and sure they sweetened the crust, but I want that real gooey marshmallow bite! Is that not what is meant to happen?
Tonia says
Hi Allyson,
Like I mentioned in my post, the same thing happened to me. The mini marshmallows disappeared. 🙂 Best of luck!
~Tonia
Allyson says
I apologize- I didn’t see that 🙂
Nami says
Every winter (usually January) we crank up the heat, grab bathing suits, fill the jacuzzie with blue water and spread out the checkered picnic cloth…in the house!! These will be Perfect for our picnic…no flames required! TYVM 😀
Tonia says
What a fun idea Nami! Thanks!
cynthia says
What about crushing the grham crackers and putting them inside or on top =D these look so good can’t wait to try them
Tonia says
Thanks Cynthia! I think some of my other readers tried that and said it was delicious!
erika says
Just made these…best idea ever for smores, all the satisfaction without the marshmellowy mess!
Marceline says
thankyouyouareperfect
katie says
i had leakage from the marshmallows both times 🙁
Anna says
Katie could you maybe have added a little to much Marshmallows? Did you crimp the pie dough all the way around?
Tonia says
Hi Katie,
I had some leakage too, like I mentioned in the post. I’m not sure how to avoid it but it didn’t seem to matter. They were delicious anyway! I wonder how they would turn out using marshmallow cream? Thanks for stopping by to let me know you made them!

Jennifer says
I made these today for a bake sale and of coarse had to try one. OMG they are awesome. I did crumble up the graham cracker and sprinkle on top of the chocolate before I added the marshmallows. Worked real well. Plus I think it help hold the marshmallow favor in.
Tonia says
Awesome! I hope they all sell!
karen says
A friend shared this site. One look at the s’more pop recipe and reading what Tonia had to say…I added it to my favorites list right away. I’m excited to keep track of this site!!!
Tonia says
Thanks so very much Karen and thank you to your friend for sharing my site!
happygurlfl says
I’m definitely thinking some crushed graham crackers in the chocolate and mallow mixture! Trying this out this week for sure!!
margie says
If you sprinkle the pie crust with a little crushed graham cracker, would this be tasty or what?
Barbara says
Thank you for this wonderful recipe, Tonia, as fires aren’t allowed at our complex, and I am really not into making s’mores over a nasty barbecue, and without a car, cannot get out to the woods. Now I have another way to make the delicious summer treat that I so love. One question, though, have you ever tried making them with homemade pie dough? that’s one more cost saving trick for me if you think it would work as well, as I am on a limited income and costs are a big issue for me….thanks so much 🙂
Yvonne says
Great Idea! I am gonna make these with our grandkids. I want to find a recipe for graham craker pie crust or dough or experiment with a recipe of my own. Then they will really taste like a smore!
Judi says
Great idea for a non fire smores since my townhouse won’t allow bonfires. I love your step by step pictures cuz having the visual and not just directions really helps! Someone should buy you new baking sheets. LOL
