Ingredients
12Jet Puffed StackerMallowsrectangle marshmallows
1ouncemelted semi-sweet chocolate
12graham cracker squares
24ouncesyellow Candy Melts,melted*
2ouncessilver or grey colored candy clay
12jumbo candy eyes
2ouncesblack candy clay
*You will need a large amount of candy melts in order to dip all 6 of the square s'moresbut you will have quite a lot left over for another use. You could make some Minion Chocolate Bark.
Instructions
Cut 6 of the StackerMallows in half lengthwise.
Brush a very thin layer of the melted semi-sweet chocolate over the inside of a graham cracker.
Arrange one whole StackerMallow and two halves on top of the wet chocolate.
Brush a thin layer of chocolate on another graham cracker square and set it on top of the marshmallows creating a sandwich.
Repeat creating a total of 6 s'mores sandwiches.
Pop in the freezer for 5 minutes.
Dip one end of a paper straw or lollipop stick into melted yellow Candy Melts.
Insert that tip into the marshmallow center of a s'mores sandwich so that the straw goes up about ¾ of the way through the sandwich.
Repeat, adding straws to all the s'mores, then allow the candy coating to dry for a few minutes.
Dip each of the s'mores into yellow candy melts, allowing the excess candy coating to drip off before setting them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Freeze for 5 minutes until the candy coating hardens.
Meanwhile, roll out the silver colored candy clay to about ⅛ inch thickness.
Cut out 1 inch circles (1 or 2 per Minion depending on how many eyes you want to add).
Cut a ¾ inch circle out of each of those 1 inch circles to create the goggles.
Insert a jumbo candy eye in the center of each (or make ¾ inch round candy clay eyes to insert).
Roll out the black candy clay and cut into ¼ inch wide by 2 inch long strips.
Create smiles and hair using black candy clay.
Use yellow candy melts to attach one or two goggles (eyes) to each s'mores pop.
Attach two black strips on either side of the goggles then add smiles and hair to some.
