Make homemade marshmallows then turn them into adorably cute Starfish S’Mores.
This fun twist on a summer classic will add a touch of whimsy to any pool party or day at the beach.
When I did a Google search on S’Mores, I was astonished at all of the ways you can use the basic combination of chocolate, graham crackers, and marshmallows.
I found s’mores pies, cakes, cupcakes, lollipops, bars, cake pops, cookies, caramel apples, truffles, ice cream, pizza, trifles, parfaits, breakfast pastries, pudding, fudge, whoopee pies, cereal treats, crepes, sundaes, cheesecakes, brownies, tarts, and moon pies. I even found recipes to make s’ mores in a jar.
I challenged myself to find a new and exciting way to make s’mores and came up with these Starfish S’Mores. Aren’t they cute?

Watch this new video tutorial to see how to make these cute Starfish S’Mores then scroll down to see the recipe at the end of the post.
To make my little starfish s’mores, I whipped up a batch of homemade marshmallows, cut them out with a star-shaped cookie cutter, dipped them in some melted chocolate, sprinkled on crushed graham crackers, and added two silly little edible eyes.
You don’t have to be an expert candy dipper to make these, as the more lumpy and messy they are, the better they look.
To make these Starfish S’mores you’ll need some equipment…
butter or non-stick baking spray – Grease the inside of a 9X13-inch pan well. I prefer the flavor of butter but the non-stick baking spray works well too.
a blend of powdered sugar and corn starch – Some recipes tell you to dust your marshmallows with just corn starch. I’m not a fan of the flavor, so I blend my corn starch with powdered sugar. Powdered sugar already has corn starch in it, but it’s best to add a bit more.
Homemade Marshmallows
water – You will dissolve the gelatin in water then use more water to make a sugar syrup.
gelatin – Use unflavored gelatin. You’ll need 2 1/2 tablespoons for this homemade marshmallow recipe. It’s best to measure the gelatin as packages don’t always contain the same amount from brand to brand.
granulated sugar – Adds sweetness and structure to the marshmallows.
light corn syrup – This will not only add sweetness but will also keep the sugar from crystalizing. Crystalized sugar will make your marshmallows gritty. By adding corn syrup your marshmallows will be smooth.
vanilla – I suggest you use pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste for the best flavor. I love using vanilla bean paste as it loaded with real vanilla bean seeds. When you make your marshmallows with the paste they will be speckled with vanilla bean seeds.
S’mores Toppings and Decorations
semi-sweet chocolate – You’ll make the marshmallows then dip them in dark chocolate. Choose your favorite semi-sweet (or bittersweet) chocolate.
graham crackers – Crush 50 graham cracker squares (or 25 whole crackers) to make the crumbs to coat your chocolate-dipped marshmallow stars. You may also want to crush more crackers to use as sand to display your starfish s ‘mores.
candy eyes – Not all candy eyes are created equal. I use 3/8 inch royal icing eyes. They look really cute. Some brands of candy eyes are a bit too bug-eyed-looking for my taste.

Instructions:
Make homemade marshmallows (recipe adapted from Alton Brown’s Good Eats)
Pour 1/2 cup of water into the bowl of a stand mixer.
Sprinkle 2 1/2 tablespoons of gelatin over the top of the water and allow it to soften (bloom) for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour the remaining 1/2 cup water, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup corn syrup, and a pinch of salt into a small saucepan.
Stir just to combine ingredients. You don’t want to get sugar crystals on the side of the pan, so stir slowly.
Cover saucepan, place over medium heat, and bring to a boil. This will take about 4-5 minutes. Condensation will build up in the pan and when you remove the lid, the water will help to wash down any sugar crystals on the side of the pan. If you notice lots of sugar crystals, you can put the lid back on the pan for a few more minutes or you can dip a pastry brush in water and brush the water around the side of the pan to each the crystals back into the boiling sugar syrup.
Remove the pan lid, and clip a candy thermometer onto the side of the pan.
Continue to cook, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 240 degrees Fahrenheit (about 7-8 minutes.)
Be very careful not to touch or spill any of this hot syrup on your skin – it will burn badly!
Whip the marshmallows until light and fluffy.
Place the whisk attachment on your stand mixer.
You will need to whisk this marshmallow mixture at high speed for about 15 minutes so it is imperative that you use a strong stand mixer, not a handheld mixer.
Turn the stand mixer onto low speed.
Very carefully and slowly pour the hot sugar syrup down the side of the bowl into the softened gelatin.
This hot liquid can burn your skin badly, so be very careful with this step.
Once all of the sugar syrup is in the bowl, increase the mixer speed to high (going up a few steps at a time).
Whip until the marshmallow becomes very thick and cools to a lukewarm temperature, about 12-15 minutes.
Add the vanilla (use vanilla bean paste for the best flavor) and whip just to combine.
Spread Marshmallows in a 9X13-inch pan.
While the marshmallow is whipping, prepare your pan.
Butter the bottom and sides of a 9″ x 13″ pan.
Combine the powdered sugar and cornstarch in a bowl.
Pour about half of the powder blend through a fine-mesh sieve evenly over the bottom and sides of the pan.
Tap pan to remove excess.
Save remaining powder for later.
Butter or spray a rubber spatula and use it to remove the marshmallow from the bowl.
Spread the marshmallow evenly in the pan.
Use a buttered offset spatula to smooth the surface.
Dust marshmallows with powdered sugar and corn starch.
Dust the top of the marshmallow with enough of the remaining sugar and cornstarch mixture to lightly cover.
You can now use your hands to really flatten out the marshmallow.
Cover any remaining powdered mixture for later use.
Allow the marshmallows to sit uncovered for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
Cut out marshmallow stars.
Set a large cutting board on top of the pan of marshmallows.
Turn both the board and pan upside down.
The marshmallow should fall right out of the pan onto the board. If it doesn’t, help it along.
Dust a star-shaped cookie cutter with some of the powdered sugar/cornstarch mixture.
Press the cookie cutter into the marshmallow, remove, and press the marshmallow out.
Dust the cutter again, and continue to cut stars until you can’t cut anymore.
As you can see, you will have a lot of marshmallow scraps. Either dust them with more powdered sugar/cornstarch or dip them in any leftover chocolate.
How to melt chocolate to dip Starfish S’mores:
Pour chopped chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl.
Heat on high power for 30 seconds. Stir.
Heat on high power for 20 seconds. Stir vigorously.
Heat on high power for 15 seconds. Stir vigorously.
NOTE: you don’t need to temper this chocolate because the graham crackers will completely coat the chocolate, therefore you can use good quality pure chocolate for this recipe. You can, if you prefer, use confectionery coating/candy melts. You do need to make sure, however, your melted chocolate is not too hot, somewhere between 90 and 97 degrees Fahrenheit, so you don’t melt your marshmallows.
Dip Marshmallow Stars into Chocolate and Graham Cracker Crumbs:
Pour graham cracker crumbs into a shallow dish.
Place one marshmallow star in the melted chocolate. Use a fork to press the marshmallow into the chocolate, covering the top and all sides of the star.
Place the fork on the underside of the marshmallow and use it to lift the marshmallow out of the chocolate.
Shake the marshmallow to allow any excess chocolate to fall off.
Set the marshmallow in the graham cracker crumbs.
NOT PICTURED (but shown in the video tutorial above) – attach two candy eyes now.
Sprinkle and push the crumbs over and up against the marshmallow star.
Completely cover the star with crumbs and allow to dry for 1-2 minutes in the crumbs.
Remove from crumbs and set on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or cutting board.
I originally added the candy eyes to the graham cracker coated marshmallow starfish but found when creating my video that I could add them to the wet chocolate before sprinkling on the graham crackers.
If you don’t attach them to the wet chocolate you can use a toothpick to dig out small circles of the graham cracker crumbs where the eyes will be on each starfish. Add a dab of chocolate to the holes and place an eye on top.
How to store Starfish S’mores:
Store your marshmallow starfish in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Package individual starfish in cellophane bags to give as party favors or gifts.
You will have lots of extra scrap pieces of marshmallow once you cut out all of your stars. I saved some to eat and dipped some in chocolate.
If you create a beach scene to display your starfish, you can use some of the chocolate-dipped scraps as big rocks. I didn’t mind having scraps, but if you need a lot of starfish and don’t want any scraps, you can put your marshmallow in a large pastry bag and pipe out stars on a cornstarch/powdered sugar lined baking sheet.
Just be sure to pipe a few layers of marshmallow, so each of your starfish is thick.
I created my beach scene using brown sugar sprinkled with a bit of white sugar – a bit messy, but it looked great.

Yes!! Love that they are made with homemade marshmallows. The video and photos are excellent. Thanks for all your work to make sure we can make these easily!
I have failed at this twice. Been trying all week. I tried to make the easy premade marshmallow version, but my microwave is broke. I tried to heat the marshmallow on the stove the way I would for rice crispy treats. Burnt them. On the upside, they tasted like a marshmallow that had been roasted on a fire, so I thought they tasted yummy.. but I will be serving to a bunch of city people who would taste burn and have no context of a real smore. Then I tried melting them over boiling water, uhh they didn't melt much and I was unable to press them into pan. I'm doing one more desperate attempt tonight before I give up… I really really wanted these for my daughter's underwater clifford birthday party. Which is Tomorrow. Sigh. It looks so easy and so beautiful and fun. Sadness.
Sorry to hear about all your mishaps. I would have probably tried the same things you did. I don't really know another way to melt store bought marshmallows. I do love the homemade marshmallows and do recommend them for this recipe. I hope you are able to get this to work for your party.
They actually sell star-shaped marshmallows. Already made. I bought some in red, white, and blue for the 4th of July and am going to use the leftovers to make these cute starfish.
Yes, I saw those in the stores here this year and bought some too. I saw large ones that would be perfect for these starfish and some really small ones that I don't think would look much like stars once they were dipped in chocolate. I always love when a product comes on the market that makes creating one of my project easier! Have fun making the starfish.
I tried to make these tonight. My son's first birthday is in a couple of weeks and we are doing an under the ocean themed party for him and I thought these were ADORABLE so I decided to do a trial run.. I'm not too great with baking or being creative but I'm pretty good at following directions. I don't have a mixture so I used store bought marshmallows. The first part seamed easy enough all the way to putting the marshmallows in the pan to cool. I let them cool for an hour but they still seamed way too sticky. I was impatient so I stuck them in the freezer for a few minutes which seemed to help when it came to cutting out the star shapes. Although I quickly realized I think I had the wrong type of cookie cutter? Mine is plastic and small… I thought I had a different one also but I don't know what happened to it 🙁 anyways it was a pain because the cutter I had wouldn't cut all the way through the marshmallows. So I had to cut them all out with a knife. Once I did that, I melted the chocolate as directed on here, but then as the comment above, mine turned into blobs also 🙁 I was so sad because they're so cute I really want them at his party! Do you have any suggestions? Also even after they cooled they were pretty messy and seemed just too gooy and nothing like your photos!! Maybe they were just too small? I'm not sure :/ I want to make them again but I'm scared they wont turn out again!
I know how frustrating it can be trying to re-create a recipe without the proper tools and ingredients. I used homemade marshmallows because I think they taste great and are easier to work with, but have had success with store bought marshmallows too. They are stickier and have a more rubbery consistency. You can cut through them, but you do need to have a cookie cutter that has inch high sides and are made of thin material. Plastic cutters, as you found, do not have very high sides and are rather thick. A metal cutter definitely works better.
The only reason I know why the marshmallows turned into blobs is that the chocolate was too hot, as mentioned above. If you don't have a thermometer, the best way to test the chocolate is to put a dab on your lip. You want it to feel cool, yet still be liquid. It's best to cool the chocolate to about 90-91 degrees which is about 8 degrees cooler than body temperature. If you dip your marshmallow stars into cooler chocolate, they will not melt then they will hold their shape nicely once coated in the crumbs.
I do hope you give this another try with the metal cookie cutter. They really are cute and would make a great addition to your ocean themed birthday party. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.
I want to know how anyone was able to make these?!?! My stars turned to blobs in the chocolate!!! My kitchen is a mess and I've spent $ and all day trying to make these stupid things!! Cute, but impossible (at least with store bought marshmallows)!
Hi Reagan, I'm so sorry to hear it didn't go well for you. Your chocolate must have been too hot which melted the marshmallows. I apologize for not covering that in my tutorial. No one has mentioned it before, so I hadn't even thought about it. When you melt chocolate, it's best to not let it get above 115 degrees Fahrenheit, but it's best to use even cooler chocolate when you dip something into it. I usually use tempered chocolate which is 90 degrees and had no trouble with my marshmallows melting. I am going to add note to the tutorial above about checking the temperature.
If you are ever working on one of my recipes again and are having trouble with something, please let me know and I'll try to help you through it.
Keep them stored in an airtight container, like Tupperware or a Rubbermaid container. Just leave them at room temperature and they will keep for at least one week.
Just made these for my daughters under the sea themed birthday party. A BIG mess.. crazy sticky.. lol. But they turned out really cute and I know everyone will love them. Thank You 🙂
I LOVE these! Do you think there is an alternative to making your own marshmallows? Would marshmallow fluff work at all? I don't know if there's a way you could firm up the fluff…?
horseygal – the eyes are storebought edible candy eyes. Wilton makes them, as well as, a few other companies. You can find them at craft stores and cake/candy decorating stores. There is also a link above in the ingredients list so you can buy them from Amazon.com.
You could make your own using royal icing, modeling chocolate or fondant.
I don't know why I came here when I am on a diet, and I LOVE s'mores. Those are so stinking cute, and I'm sure they are delicious, too. What a creative girl you are.
Thanks so much Chic Cookies! I always appreciate being featured on ediblecrafts.craftgossip.com.
Hi Heidi, If you make homemade marshmallows using a hand held mixer, you need one that is pretty powerful (not the cheap $10 kind.) When you make them, give your mixer a break a few times during the mixing process or your mixer could overheat and die on you. Mix for maybe two minutes then let it rest for a minute or two, and repeat until you have whipped marshmallows. In the next few days, I'll be posting a way to make these using store bought marshmallows. Stay tuned!
So cute! Oh my goodness! I love these 😀 The little eyes are awesome. I've wanted to make my own marshmallows for so long now but I don't have a mixer like that, do you know if they can be made with a hand mixer? I will try them some time! 😀
These are AMAZINGLY cute! I dont know anyone that wouldnt be over the moon to receive one of these lovelies, what a gorgeous idea and your photos are simply wonderful 🙂
Thanks Procrastokaer, it is so nice to get a compliment on my photos. I've been working very hard to learn photography, which is, in my opinion, much harder than creating and making my recipes. I'm glad all of my hard work is paying off.
Thanks everyone. I think it is just so wonderful to have so many readers from all over the world. I'm so glad you have all found my blog.
Gerry, do you roast your marshmallows over the fire? I love them roasted:)
Nicole, I don't have kids either, and I love creating all of this fun food. I share it with family, friends, and neighbors and that makes a lot of people happy!

This is the cutest idea ever .I just sent a family memember who makes the best homemade marshmallow this recipe Thank im going to make these
Thanks so much, Diane. I’m happy you are going to share the recipe! 🙂
About how many does one recipe make?
I got one dozen stars cut out of one pan of homemade marshmallows, but you could make more or less depending on the size of the cookie cutter you use.
These are sooooo cute! Thanks for the idea and tutorial.
By the way, I'd like to invite you to post on my new blog hop (www.myflagstaffhome.com) that is open all weekend, if you're interested.

I love homemade marshmallows. But your stars are too cute, I would feel guilty eating them! Maybe I'll have to try them for our 4th of July party!
These are RIDICULOUSLY cute!!! Such a clever and fun idea 🙂
What a cute and delicious idea. I'm pinning this…now I just have to convince someone to have a beach htemed birthday! 😉

An idea for the left over marshmallow pieces – rocky road! You could cut the marshmallows in pieces and mix with toasted walnuts or pecans and melted chocolate. Put in a pan, chill and cut into squares.
Just a thought! (o;
Thanks Jill.
Great suggestion Linda. I think the Rocky Road bars would be a perfect way to use up the marshmallow scraps.
Very cute!!
