Why You’ll Love These Campfire S’mores Cake Balls

• All the classic s’mores flavors in one bite.
• No fire or skewers required.
• Perfect for parties, holidays, or gifting.
• Easy to customize with different coatings and toppings.

Ingredients

• 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients needed to bake it)
• 1 cup marshmallow fluff
• 1/2 tub of chocolate frosting
• Crushed graham crackers
• 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Marshmallows (optional for garnish) (use this kitchen torch to give them the campfire feel)

Instructions

1: Bake the Cake

Prepare the chocolate cake according to the package directions. Once baked, let it cool completely.

2: Make the Cake Mixture

• Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl.
• Add in the marshmallow fluff and the chocolate frosting.
• Mix until well combined—the mixture should be soft and sticky but easy to roll.

3: Shape the Cake Balls

• Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls.
• Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.

4: Dip in Chocolate

• Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave for about 15-second increments until they begin to melt. Don't overheat because you can scorch the chocolate, and it will seize up.
• Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated.
• Place back on the parchment paper.

5: Add the Toppings

• While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle extra graham cracker crumbs on top.
• Add a mini marshmallow for an extra s’mores touch.

6: Let Them Set

Allow the chocolate coating to harden at room temperature or in the fridge. Once set, your Campfire S’mores Cake Balls are ready to enjoy! For extra fun, toast the marshmallow on top!

Storage

• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Freeze for up to 2 months—thaw before serving.

Tips & Variations

• White Chocolate Twist: Try dipping some in white chocolate for a fun contrast.
• Extra Marshmallow Love: Stir mini marshmallows into the cake mixture before rolling.
• Party-Perfect: Stick a lollipop stick in each ball before dipping for s’mores cake pops.
