And let me tell you this is a simple recipe that kids can be involved in, that will surely bring a smile to their face!

I love how easy these S’mores Popcorn Balls are to throw together. We always have all the ingredients on hand too! This time we used a dark chocolate pudding mix and it turned out especially delicious!
And it’s just as simple to make as another well known marshmallow treat that kids love! All starting with butter and marshmallows. But then we throw in a few new ingredients including the Goldfish Grahams and we end up with something truly magical to the taste buds!
The best part about this recipe is not how amazing it tastes, but how much you can involve the kids! If you have older kids they can be part of mixing the butter and marshmallows as they melt.
And they can help mix the popcorn, Goldfish Grahams and coconut together into the chocolate s’mores pudding mixture.
Then bring in the younger ones to help portion out into balls on the cookie sheet. Make sure they wash their hands well first! Use a little oil spray to help prevent sticking. You can use a cookie scoop or their hands if you like. It’s all up to you. We started with a cookie scoop. But as it cooled it grew more stiff and then we switched to using hands.
And remember what I said earlier! Make sure you have some Goldfish Grahams set aside for the kids to snack on while making the treat. Because undoubtedly they will be sneaking the snacks!
What you end up with is a great afternoon spending time in the kitchen with the kids. And a fun treat to conclude the afternoon. The kids will love these! Not to mention they make the best snack to take in baggies to the park at the end, or if bad weather you can have a movie party! We had a rainy afternoon, so we stayed in and watched movies. And then shared with some neighbors too!

These look so good! I hadn’t thought to use those that way but they sound amazing.
That looks yummy! We prefer dark chocolate too. That’s a good idea to have some around for snacking while they’re preparing it.
That’s a great adaption of a smore. I never knew goldfish made a graham cracker variety. I was a fan of their pretzel flavored ones.
Those look ooey gooey and delicious. I’ve never tried using dark chocolate but it sounds yummy!
What a sweet snack idea and a fun spin on classic s’mores. I am sure the kids enjoyed helping (and getting a little messy too!)
Looks like a tasty snack. I should try this with my kids.

What a clever use of these Goldfish crackers! These are my kids favorite flavor, so I am sure I will be using these soon.
Anything with s’mores in the name is right up my alley! Popcorn makes it healthy, right? I’m so glad I have kids just so I can make treats like this and pretend they’re not from me.
That is a combination of all my favorites mixed together. I might not even share with the kids
My kids would love these and more, love to make them. Great way to use the goldfish crackers.
