If you want a delightful summertime treat, these S’mores Dipped Strawberries are the answer. Ripe, juicy strawberries are layered with gooey marshmallow, rich dark chocolate, and crunchy graham cracker crumbs for a quick and irresistible dessert.
They’re the perfect handheld sweet for warm days and summer gatherings.
Summer conjures many images: poolside lounging, backyard barbecues, and, of course, s’mores. Whether you’re enjoying a campfire under the stars or staying cool indoors with the air conditioning, the classic s’mores flavor combination never disappoints. To capture that nostalgic flavor in a fresh way, these strawberries bring s’mores into a bite-sized, elegant form.
The Strawberries
Choose fresh, ripe, large strawberries and be sure they’re washed and thoroughly patted dry. You can leave the stems on for easier dipping and a prettier presentation, or hull them if you prefer. Larger berries work best because they hold the coatings nicely; avoid frozen berries since they release too much moisture and won’t hold up.
The Coatings
These strawberries are dipped in three layers to recreate the s’mores experience. First is the marshmallow layer: miniature marshmallows are melted until gooey and the berries are quickly dipped about three-quarters of the way into the marshmallow mixture. Work fast—the marshmallow sets quickly—then chill the berries briefly so the marshmallow layer firms up.
Next comes the chocolate. Melt dark chocolate melting wafers until silky smooth, dip the strawberries about two-thirds of the way, and let excess drip off. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle on buttery graham cracker crumbs to finish the s’mores flavor and add crunchy texture. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
Juicy, sweet, and delightfully gooey—these S’mores Dipped Strawberries are a crowd-pleasing summer treat.

Ingredients
- 8-10 large fresh strawberries, washed and patted dry
- 3 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1½ cups dark chocolate melting wafers such as Ghirardelli brand
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions

Work quickly to dip each strawberry about three-quarters of the way into the marshmallow mixture. If the mixture begins to firm, microwave an additional 5 seconds to re-soften. Refrigerate the dipped strawberries for about 10 minutes to set the marshmallow layer.

Melt the dark chocolate coating according to package directions or until smooth. Dip each strawberry about two-thirds of the way into the melted chocolate and let excess drip off. Return the berries to the baking sheet and immediately sprinkle generously with graham cracker crumbs. Allow the chocolate to harden before serving.
