Let’s Get Crafting! Your Step-by-Step Minion Guide
Ready to assemble the cutest treats on the planet? This no-bake process is so much fun.
Part 1: Build the S’mores Pops
- Prep the Marshmallows: Cut 6 of the StackerMallows in half lengthwise. You will now have 6 whole marshmallows and 12 half-pieces.
- Build the Sandwich: Brush a very thin layer of melted semi-sweet chocolate over one graham cracker square. Arrange one whole marshmallow in the center and a half-piece on either side of it. Brush a thin layer of chocolate on another graham cracker and place it on top to create a s’mores sandwich. Repeat to make 6 sandwiches.
- Chill and Insert Sticks: Place the s’mores sandwiches in the freezer for 5 minutes to firm up. Meanwhile, dip one end of a lollipop stick into your melted yellow Candy Melts, then insert that end into the marshmallow center of a chilled s’more. The candy acts as glue. Repeat for all 6 pops.
Part 2: Dip and Decorate!
- Dip the Pops: Dip each s’mores pop into the bowl of melted yellow candy melts, making sure to coat it completely. Gently tap the stick on the side of the bowl to let the excess drip off. Place the dipped pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill to Set: Place the tray in the freezer for 5 minutes, or until the yellow candy coating is completely hard.
- Make the Goggles: While they chill, roll out the silver/grey candy clay or fondant. Cut out 1-inch circles (one or two for each Minion). From the center of each, cut out a ¾-inch circle to create a ring-shaped goggle. Place a jumbo candy eye in the center of each ring.
- Add the Details: Roll out the black candy clay/fondant. Cut it into thin strips for the goggle straps and create little smiles and spiky hair pieces.
- Assemble the Face: Use a dab of leftover melted yellow candy melts as glue to attach the goggle(s) to the front of each Minion pop. Add the black goggle straps on either side. Finish by attaching a smile and some fun hair. Let them set completely before serving!
WiseRecipes’ Top Tips for Perfect Minion Pops
These simple tricks will ensure your festive treats are flawless and fun to make.
- Use a Deep Bowl for Dipping. To get a smooth, even yellow coat, it’s much easier to dip the s’mores pop into a deep, narrow bowl or glass of melted candy melts rather than trying to spoon it over.
- Tap, Don’t Scrape. After dipping, gently tap the hand holding the lollipop stick against the rim of the bowl. This will smoothly remove all the excess candy coating without creating streaks.
- The Thin Chocolate Layer is Key. As the recipe note suggests, keep the inner chocolate layer thin and away from the edges of the graham cracker. If too much oozes out, it can melt and mix with your yellow candy coating.
- Chill in Bursts. The short bursts of chilling time in the freezer are your best friend. They help firm up the s’mores sandwiches before dipping and set the yellow coating quickly, making the decorating process much cleaner and easier.
- Fondant is a Great Substitute. If you can’t find or don’t want to make candy clay, pre-colored black and grey fondant (found in the baking aisle of most craft stores) is the perfect, easy-to-use substitute for the goggles and other details.

- Dip one end of a lollipop stick in melted yellow candy melts and insert it about ¾ of the way into the marshmallow center of a s’mores sandwich. Repeat for all pops.
- Dip each s’mores pop into the melted yellow candy melts, coating it completely. Allow the excess to drip off, then set on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze for 5 minutes until the yellow candy coating has hardened.
- Meanwhile, roll out the silver/grey candy clay and cut out rings for the goggles. Insert a jumbo candy eye into each ring. Roll out the black candy clay and cut strips for the goggle straps, smiles, and hair pieces.
- Use a dab of melted yellow candy melts as ‘glue’ to attach the goggle(s) to each pop. Attach the black straps on either side of the goggles, then add a smile and hair. Let set completely.

FAQs: Your Minion Pop Questions, Answered!
What if I can’t find the rectangular StackerMallows?
You can use regular large marshmallows! You’ll just need to press them down slightly and arrange two or three side-by-side on the graham cracker to create a squarish shape before sandwiching them.
My candy melts are too thick for dipping. What can I do?
If your candy melts seem too thick, you can stir in a very small amount (about 1/2 teaspoon at a time) of paramount crystals, EZ-Thin, or even solid vegetable shortening (like Crisco). This will thin it out to a perfect dipping consistency. Do not add water or any other liquid!
What if I can’t find jumbo candy eyes?
You can easily make your own! Roll out small balls of white candy clay or fondant for the whites of the eyes, and even smaller balls of black for the pupils. Gently flatten them and stick them together to create your own custom eyes.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, these are a perfect make-ahead treat! You can make them up to a week in advance of your party. Just store them in a cool, dry place in an airtight container until you’re ready to display them.
