This is how we make s’mores in Texas, where it’s much too hot for campfires:
No, not really.
Really, I made these frozen s’mores pops for a friend’s Labor Day party, for all the kids in attendance. Someone else had brought a package of those red, white, and blue rocket pops (or bomb pops) often found on ice cream trucks. But guess which pops all the kids chose.
To be fair, one kid did choose a rocket pop over the s’mores. And one sneaky kid chose both! I wonder where his mother was… 😉
Inspired by Marshmallow Ice Cream recipe.
S’mores Popsicles
(gluten-free)
- 1 cup milk of choice (such as almond milk)
- 1/2 a container Ricemellow Crème (You could probably use 5 oz Smuckers marshmallow fluff, which—albeit high in artificial ingredients—is vegan.)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- tiny pinch salt
- optional: melted chocolate or Hot Chocolate Butter
- optional: crumbled graham crackers
Combine first four ingredients in a microwave-safe dish (or small saucepan if you prefer the stove), and microwave 1 minute. Stir so there are no lumps, then pour into paper cups or popsicle molds. If desired, dip in chocolate and sprinkle on graham cracker crumbs once pops are frozen. (If using the hot chocolate butter option, sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs quickly- the chocolate shell hardens fast!)
Did you ever buy anything from the ice cream truck?
When I was little, that annoying ice cream truck song was the best sound in the world! To my sister, it meant Good Humor strawberry shortcake popsicles. To my friends, it meant rocket pops, snow cones, and sherbet pops in the shape of Scooby Doo. To me, it meant one thing and one thing only: chocolate.
Be it a Chipwich, a chocolate éclair, or a neopolitan ice cream sandwich, you can be sure my order was always chocolate. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever tried a rocket pop in my life!
Link of the Day:
Yum!! I used to buy cookie sandwiches haha loooved those
Oh yum. I love s’mores! Or maybe just toasted marshmallows. Or maybe just the melted chocolate. I don’t know. It all contributed to the melty, gooeyness.
I loved strawberry shortcake popsicles or the drumsticks. My favorite part of a drumstick was the solid chocolate part at the bottom. 😉
That was my favorite part too! It always left me wanting another one. 😀
The tip! Definitely the best part
Those look delicious!!! I’d usually get those red white and blue pops, or they had ones that were cartoon characters with gum balls as the eyes!
No! I was never allowed to get something from the ice cream truck. And now that I am an “adult” I still can’t anything because of my food allergies 🙁
where do you find ricemellow cream? my kid’s begging for rice krispie treats and i refuse to buy fluff! thanks!
Whole Foods. Or online!
Fair warning, the ricemellow makes not good rice crispie treats. Too much liquid so they are more rice mushies than rice crispies!
You’re much better off getting Dandies vegan marshmallows. Or Sweet and Sara… though her’s are so gourmet that I loathe using them. I prefer to eat them unadulterated or in s’more form. 😉 Whole Foods will have Dandies or S&S, too.
Oh my word… thanks for making me drool all over the computer on my first day of school! My mom wants to give you detention for making me lose focus… on my physics. As if I had any focus to begin with.
p.s.- is there a way to make myown marshmallow creme? thanks!
I second the recipe for vegan marshmallow creme. I occasionally make the real kind for my animal-product-loving family, but we don’t have rice mallow creme OR Smucker’s marshmallow topping(Crazy, because they have every single other kind of Smucker’s at my store) anywhere near us.

GORGEOUS gorgeous photos!!! Makes me wish it would just stay summer for another four months. No more back to school… Just popsicles and ice cream trucks and campfires!
Oh forgot to answer the question. I loved the chipwiches growing up. I don’t think I ever had one from the ice cream truck, but I’d always get them at baseball games!
Love these, Katie. My kiddos like the bomb pops, and I do admit that sometimes we buy them as a special treat. They’re allowed to have a few special desserts per week that they choose, and my littlest one is looking over my shoulder right now and I asked if he wanted one and he said OH YES PLEASE! Love how he said please :).
oh my, yumm!!
