Vegan S’Mores Pops
You don’t need a campfire to make these tasty Vegan S’Mores Pops. It’s a fun and easy recipe that’s perfect to share with others, especially at summer barbecues!
I’ve been on a lot of camping trips in my life, and I think just about every one of them involved making s’mores. At least the really fun ones!
There’s a specific way I liked my marshmallows cooked in the open fire. Let’s say my marshmallows are flambeed before adding them to the graham cracker. It’s surprising, then, that I like these perfectly uncooked S’Mores Pops, but I do. Maybe it’s the easiness factor that makes them so attractive.
So, if you love s’mores on a fire, be sure to give this s’mores lollipop version a try!

Key Ingredients
You can find the full printable recipe, including ingredient quantities, below. But first, here are some explanations of ingredients and steps to help you make this recipe perfect every time.
Here are the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe, including substitution ideas:
- Chocolate chips — Use my Vegan Chocolate Chips Guide to find the best chocolate chips for you!
- Plant-based milk — Use your favorite plant-based milk, such as soy, almond, cashew milk, etc.
- Extract — I’m recommending hazelnut extract to give the chocolate a Nutella flavor. If you don’t have hazelnut extract or can’t find it, you can substitute vanilla. If you’d like to use another extract flavor, such as coconut, banana, or orange, I recommend reducing the quantity to 1/2 a teaspoon.
- Marshmallows — You’ll need a bag of large vegetarian marshmallows (those mini marshmallows won’t do here!).
- Graham cracker crumbs — You can buy graham cracker crumbs or make your own. Follow the instructions for my Vegan Graham Cracker Crust for finding vegan graham crackers and crushing them. To make gluten-free marshmallow pops, crumble up gluten-free cookies or graham crackers. Or skip the crumbs and dip them in sprinkles!
- Paper straws — You can use popsicle sticks, but I love the color added by using paper straws.
What are Vegan Marshmallows?
The sole ingredient that makes marshmallows non-vegetarian is gelatin. It’s a common ingredient used in many products, and it’s made from animal collagen. It’s easy to make or buy vegetarian marshmallows these days. They’re made with a vegetarian gel, usually agar agar (red sea algae) that makes amazing marshmallows! You can find them at health food stores and in the health food sections of most major grocery stores.

Vegan Chocolate-Covered Marshmallows Serving Suggestions
Having a summer outdoor party? I love having lots of easy dishes, especially the ones I can make ahead! These vegan chocolate-covered marshmallows are perfect because they are dairy-free, egg-free, and gluten-free (if you use gluten-free cookies or graham crackers for the crumbles). That means they check the boxes for dietary restrictions.
Here are some favorite outdoor party foods, both sweet and savory, to serve at your next vegan barbecue or picnic:
- Cookies — Want the perfect cookie to serve with your s’mores pops? Try these vegan s’mores chocolate chip cookies. There are marshmallows and chocolate in every bite!
- Crunchy Nut Mix — Offer a contrast in textures by serving a crunchy nut mix. Almonds, walnuts, and pistachios add a satisfying crunch that complements the softness of the marshmallows.
- Dairy-Free Yogurt Dip — Prepare a luscious dairy-free yogurt dip infused with a hint of vanilla or a drizzle of maple syrup.
- More Pops — One pop deserves another. That’s why I say, make it a pop party! Add these colorful and tasty Dairy-Free Cake Pops along with marshmallow pops and just watch the party happen!
- Homemade Vegan Ice Cream — Take it to the next level by serving your vegan chocolate covered marshmallow pops alongside scoops of homemade dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
