Introduction

S’mores Pretzel Rods combine the sweet, melty goodness of classic s’mores with a satisfying salty crunch. This easy treat is perfect for parties, snacks, or whenever you need a fun twist on a campfire favorite.

The image shows several long pretzel sticks half-dipped in dark chocolate with a smooth, shiny texture on the chocolateed part, lying on crinkled parchment paper atop a wooden board on a white marbled surface. Each pretzel stick is decorated with small white toasted marshmallows and crumbs of broken light brown graham crackers scattered unevenly over the chocolate. Thin lines of dark chocolate drizzle decorate the marshmallows and graham cracker pieces, adding a glossy, textured look, while the exposed pretzel ends are a shiny golden brown with a slightly rough texture. A few extra toasted marshmallows are scattered around the board on the white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

10-12 jumbo pretzel rods
10 oz melting milk chocolate
1 cup crushed graham crackers
1 cup mini marshmallows
Optional: flaky salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prep your setup by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and laying out the pretzel rods so they’re ready to go. This makes cleanup easier and keeps the chocolate from sticking.
Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt about ¾ of the chocolate in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each until the chocolate is smooth and glossy.
Step 3: Pour the melted chocolate onto a sheet of parchment paper. Working one pretzel rod at a time, roll it through the chocolate until it is nicely coated.
Step 4: Immediately sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the chocolate and gently press mini marshmallows onto the coated part. Do this quickly so the chocolate is still melty and the toppings stick well.
Step 5: Place each coated pretzel rod back onto the prepared baking sheet and let them sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens.
Step 6: (Optional) Using a kitchen torch, lightly toast the marshmallows for a classic campfire flavor. Then melt the remaining chocolate and drizzle it over the top. For extra flavor, add a pinch of flaky salt while the drizzle is still wet.
Step 7: Allow everything to set completely so the chocolate is firm. Your S’mores Pretzel Rods are now ready to enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Use white or dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.
Swap the mini marshmallows for marshmallow fluff if preferred, spreading it on after the chocolate coating.
Add crushed nuts or sprinkles along with the graham crackers for extra texture and color.
If you don’t have a kitchen torch, briefly placing the rods under a broiler for a few seconds can toast the marshmallows—watch carefully!

Storage

Store S’mores Pretzel Rods in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigeration, as it can cause the chocolate to bloom and affect texture. To re-harden melted drizzle if needed, place them briefly in a cool spot until firm.

How to Serve

The image shows four sets of ingredients neatly arranged on a white marbled surface: on the far left, there is a small stack of thin, crunchy pretzel sticks with a golden brown color and sprinkled salt; next to it is a small white bowl filled with crushed light brown crackers that have a rough texture; to the right, there is a clear glass bowl filled with smooth, round dark brown chocolate discs stacked closely together; in front of that, a smaller white bowl holds many soft, white mini marshmallows with a fluffy texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular-sized pretzel rods instead of jumbo?

Yes, regular pretzel rods will work fine, but you may need to adjust the amount of chocolate and toppings accordingly as they have less surface area.

How do I prevent the marshmallows from sticking together?

Work quickly when applying the marshmallows while the chocolate is still melty to ensure they stick individually to the pretzel rods rather than clumping together. Using mini marshmallows also helps keep them separate.
