You may have had cheesecake filled strawberries, but these are so much better – and easier to make. Everyone raves over them.

I first made these to go with the homemade marshmallow fluff recipe I started making to use up extra egg whites. S’mores stuffed strawberries might have been a bit of an impetus, or they might have been the reason I decide to make that fluff.

Why s’mores stuffed strawberries?

I keep seeing photos all the time of cheesecake stuffed strawberries. Here’s my dirty little secret: I don’t really like cheesecake.

So boo, right? I love the concept of it, but a cheesecake filling just wasn’t doing it for me.

I wanted to make something fun and yummy that would represent the coming summer. And inspiration struck. Chocolate and strawberries go well together, so why not make s’mores stuffed strawberries?

Thank you, inspiration.

As I thought about how to replicate a s’mores filling that I could get into a strawberry, it took awhile to figure out how I wanted to do it. I thought about melting down marshmallows a la Rice Krispie treats, but that didn’t quite fit with what I wanted to do.

I wanted something that would be smooth and creamy that would allow you to bite and not pull all the filling out the first time you nibbled on the strawberry (who am I kidding – I’m the only person in my family who doesn’t stuff the whole thing in her mouth and instead takes bites, but still).

Finally it hit me that marshmallow fluff would be the ideal vehicle for the s’mores filling. And the heavens sang. Truly. I heard them.

Making the homemade marshmallow fluff took under a half hour, and the strawberries were super quick, too. This would be a great party dessert because it’s finger food and so fun and unique.

What if I have a dairy allergy?

While the initial recipe isn’t dairy free, there’s a quick substitute that works just peachy. In fact, I make it that way about half the time.

The obvious choice (to me) for the chocolate was Nutella, which of course I have in my pantry at all times. And which I used to make a marshmallow fluff s’more yesterday – I highly recommend it.

Since Little Miss is dairy free, I had to come up with an alternative for her, and so I chopped bits of dark chocolate finely in place of the Nutella, and I have to admit that it’s pretty awesome whichever way you go.

I will be making these for a Memorial Day barbecue for sure. They will also make an appearance when I host book club – yum!

Use not overripe strawberries, and eat them the same day you make them. Strawberries aren’t meant to be prepared and then not eaten – same rule when you make chocolate dipped strawberries.

But really… who thinks these would last anyway?

How to Make This S’mores Stuffed Strawberry Recipe

The recipe for a s’mores stuffed strawberry is so quick and easy. Get your kids to help!

In a small baggie, add the graham cracker, and crush it with your fist or a rolling pin so that you have graham cracker crumbs. Place the crumbs into a small bowl.

Clean and hull your strawberries with a strawberry shark. You want to make the inside larger than you normally would when hulling so that it holds more filling.

In a small bowl, add the marshmallow fluff and Nutella (or chopped chocolate), and stir together until marbled.

Turn a zip top bag mostly inside out, then scoop the filling into it. Remove most of the air, then seal the bag.

Use scissors to snip off a small piece of the corner, then pipe the filling into each strawberry. you want it to spill from the top of each strawberry just a bit.

Dip the tip of the strawberry into the graham cracker crumbs, and gently roll so that all the filling is covered by the crumbs.

Repeat for each s’mores stuffed strawberry, obviously increasing the proportions if you are making for a larger gathering. Refrigerate if not serving within a half hour, and be sure to eat the same day.
