how to make Deep-Fried S’mores
Ingredients:
- 8 large marshmallows
- 8 squares of milk chocolate (or your preferred chocolate)
- 8 graham cracker squares
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
-
Prepare the S’mores: Place a square of chocolate on each graham cracker square. Put a marshmallow on top of the chocolate and place another graham cracker square on top, creating a s’more sandwich. Gently press down to secure the marshmallow and chocolate.
-
Make the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the egg and milk to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the s’mores, but not too runny. If needed, adjust the consistency with a little more milk or flour.
-
Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet, making sure there’s enough oil to submerge the s’mores. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the top quickly, the oil is ready.
-
Fry the S’mores: Dip each s’more into the batter, making sure it is fully coated. Carefully lower the battered s’mores into the hot oil, one at a time, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. The chocolate should melt, and the marshmallow should be gooey inside.
-
Drain and Serve: Using tongs or a slotted spoon, carefully remove the deep-fried s’mores from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. If desired, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
-
Enjoy: Serve your deep-fried s’mores immediately while they’re hot and crispy. Be sure to take a bite carefully as the filling can be very hot!
how to serve Deep-Fried S’mores

how to store Deep-Fried S’mores
If you have leftover deep-fried s’mores, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat them in an oven for a few minutes to restore their crispy texture before serving again.

FAQs
Can I use mini marshmallows instead of large ones?
Yes, mini marshmallows work perfectly as well. Just use more of them for each s’more.
Is it safe to fry at home?
Always be cautious when frying at home. Keep a close eye on the oil temperature and never leave it unattended.
Can I bake the s’mores instead of frying them?
While frying gives a unique texture, you can bake them at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
