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!
But no store in my neighborhood sells that ricemallow stuff.
That brings me to a question, alot if specialityhealthy ingredients that you useare out of my budget as well as too far away to shop for often. Could you recommend some staple inexpensive/ long lasting things I could stock up on so I can make some of your healthy treats as often as possible? I would really appreciate it, and I’m a big fan if yours!
-peace, love , and health to you!
I have a “pantry staples” list on my FAQ page :).

I apologize for the typos 🙂
I love the pictures, Katie. I’d go for a s’mores pop over a rocket pop any day. The rocket pops were always too sweet for me.
I found you on Pinterest about an hour ago, and I haven’t been off your site since. I have a TON of catching up to do. Can’t believe I didn’t know about this blog until now!
I don’t think you’re missing out too much on the bomb pop. I only ever ate them once, when I got my tonsils out as a little kid and was eating everything frozen. If I ever did get something from the ice cream truck, it was either a fudgesicle, or, one time I tried a spongebob shaped one that I really loved. Our parents didn’t often let us get anything though.
Then we moved to our current place when I was about 7… NO ICE CREAM TRUCKS!! I really missed the noise of the truck coming and the mad dash around the house to find enough change for some ice cream. 🙂
Anyways, this recipe looks fabulous, and I’m sure that if I were a kid and had a choice between this and a bomb pop, I would choose this in a heartbeat. 😀
one word, YUM!!!!!
Like your sister, I absolutely LOVED those Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bars. I got one any time the ice cream truck came. But it’s probably been at least 10-12 years since I’ve had one.
My mom would never let my sister and me buy anything from a ice cream truck. She was completely disgusted by the idea of a truck selling food. However, one night, a truck broke down in front of our driveway and she let each of us pick something to have (I think she felt bad for the man!)
I had three favorites from the ice cream truck. One was a snoopy ice cream, one was a baseball mitt one with a bubble gum baseball, and the third was those rainbow cones that had a piece of gum at the bottom. I can’t remember what any of them were called. :/
Also, I wanted to say thank you! Since finding your blog there are so many recipes I’ve wanted to try that I couldn’t find the ingredients for. I was finally able to track down a tiny vegan grocery store! It has essentially everything I would look for that I couldn’t find in regular grocery stores. Don’t think I would have found it if it weren’t for your yummy recipes encouraging me to look harder!
Oooh, these are on my list of things I MUST make soon! YUM!
