Ingredients

Scale

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.
