How to Make the Yummiest S’mores Cheese Ball

When I think of Fall, cozy sweaters, booties, pumpkin flavored everything and cool nights by a warm fire are what come to mind! One of our family’s favorite treats to make [and indulge in] by the fire are S’Mores. The kids love roasting the marshmallows, piling on the chocolate and eating the gooey goodness to their heart’s content. Since building a fire for the sole purpose of making s’mores can be quite the task, we’ve grown to love a good  “indoor S’mores” in the skillet and most recently, The Yummiest S’Mores Cheese Ball everyone devours!

The kids AND adults! The thought of making a cheese ball and crafting a perfectly round ball was intimidating at first. But quite honestly, it’s super quick and easy to form the “ball” and it disappears just as quickly as it’s made!

I love that this S’Mores Cheese Ball can be served as an hors d’oeuvre or a dessert! Make it to serve when hosting friends or take it tailgating this Fall. 

I mean, who doesn’t love S’mores? And then add cream cheese? You can’t deny this sweet treat combo!

Here is how I made it:

S’MORES CHEESE BALL INGREDIENTS

• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup marshmallow bits or mini marshmallows 
• 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
• 2, 8 ounce packages of cream cheese
• 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• pinch of salt

S’MORES CHEESE BALL DIRECTIONS

1 | In large mixing bowl, add 2 packages of softened cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, vanilla & salt. Using a hand mixer, blend until smooth.

2 | Put the mixture in the refrigerator to chill / firm up for about 30 minutes.

3 | While the mixture is chilling, put 6-8 graham crackers in a gallon size Ziploc and smash into crumbs. You can use your hands or a mallet if you have one.

4 | Next, if you aren’t able to find marshmallow bits, then cut your mini marshmallows into quarters. Cut up enough little pieces until you have about 1/4 cup.

5 | Then, get our a baking sheet or large plate and add some wax paper. After that, take your 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips and sprinkle half of them across the sheet or plate. Then, do the same with the half of the marshmallows and half of the bag of crushed graham crackers.

6 | Repeat this step with the remainder of each item.

7 | Next, take the cream cheese mixture out of the fridge and mold into a ball. Then, simply roll the ball back and forth across the baking sheet until it’s fully covered with the graham cracker, marshmallow and chocolate chips coating. 

8 | Lastly, place on a serving dish and place graham cracker pieces around it to use as “dippers”. If you have any leftover marshmallow bits or mini chocolate chips, you can press some extras on top of the ball to fill in any gaps.

9 | Enjoy!

*TIP: It’s best to serve the S’Mores Cheese Ball close to room temperature so the ball is soft enough to handle the graham crackers. If it’s too cold and firm, the graham crackers will break when they enter the cheese ball!

My boys seriously eat this thing down to the crumbs! And I have to admit, I love this S’mores cheese ball treat just as much as they do. After all, I can’t deny a good cream cheese appetizer recipe 😉 It tastes like a Fall campfire with every bite!
