Tips & Variations

• Use flavored chocolate chips like mint or peanut butter for a unique twist.
• Make sure the oil temperature stays consistent to avoid greasy bombs.
• For extra crunch, add crushed nuts to the graham cracker crumbs coating.
• Serve with a side of warm chocolate sauce for dipping.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day to maintain crispiness. Reheat briefly in a toaster oven or air fryer to regain crunch, but it’s best enjoyed fresh.

FAQs

Can I bake these instead of frying?

While frying gives the best crispy texture, you can bake the coated marshmallows at 400°F (200°C) for about 8-10 minutes. The result will be less crispy but still delicious.

What oil is best for frying?

Vegetable oil or canola oil are ideal for frying due to their high smoke points and neutral flavors, ensuring a crisp finish without overpowering the taste.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Filling

• 10 large marshmallows
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Coating

• 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

Batter

• 1 cup pancake mix
• 1/2 cup water

Frying

• Vegetable oil for frying
• Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

1. Heat the oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large heavy skillet to 350°F (175°C), ensuring there is enough oil to fully submerge the bombs for even frying.
2. Prepare marshmallows: Using a small paring knife, make a small slit in each marshmallow and gently stuff with a few chocolate chips inside to ensure a gooey center once fried.
3. Coat with crumbs: Roll the stuffed marshmallows evenly in graham cracker crumbs until they are completely covered to add a crunchy layer beneath the batter.
4. Mix batter: In a bowl, whisk together the pancake mix and water until you have a smooth, slightly thick batter that will cling well to the marshmallows.
5. Batter the bombs: Dip each graham cracker-coated marshmallow into the pancake batter, making sure it is fully coated without dripping excessively.
6. Fry the bombs: Carefully place the coated marshmallows into the hot oil. Fry them for 2-3 minutes until the batter is golden brown and crisp, turning gently if necessary to cook evenly.
7. Drain excess oil: Remove the fried s’mores bombs with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain off any excess oil and maintain crispiness.
8. Serve and garnish: Optionally, dust the fried bombs with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness before serving warm.

Notes

• Ensure the oil temperature remains steady at 350°F for even frying and to avoid greasy bombs.
• Use a fresh batch of oil if frying multiple batches to maintain crispiness and flavor.
• Serve immediately for best taste and texture as the filling is gooey and the exterior is crispy when freshly fried.
• For a variation, try using different types of chocolate chips such as dark or white chocolate.
