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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Batter the bombs: Dip each graham cracker-coated marshmallow into the pancake batter, making sure it is fully coated without dripping excessively.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
