FAQs

Can I bake these instead of frying?

While baking is an option, frying gives the marshmallows a crispy exterior and gooey interior that baking may not replicate well. If baking, use a well-oiled baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) until golden, but expect a different texture.

What type of oil should I use for frying?

Use a neutral-tasting oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable, canola, or peanut oil, to ensure safe frying temperatures and a clean flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Marshmallow Filling

1 package of large marshmallows
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Batter and Coating

1 cup pancake batter, prepared according to package instructions
1 package graham crackers, crushed into crumbs

Frying and Garnish

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil works well)
Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Heat Oil: In a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to maintain consistent temperature for even frying.
Prepare Marshmallows: Insert a chocolate chip into the center of each large marshmallow, gently pushing it in to create a gooey center when fried.
Batter Coating: Dip each chocolate-stuffed marshmallow into the prepared pancake batter, ensuring a full and even coat around the marshmallow to help the crumbs stick and create a crisp exterior.
Apply Graham Cracker Crumbs: Roll the batter-coated marshmallows thoroughly in the crushed graham cracker crumbs to form an additional crunchy layer.
Fry Bombs: Carefully drop the coated marshmallows into the hot oil. Fry for about 2 minutes or until the exterior is golden brown and crispy. Turn them gently if needed for even cooking.
Drain: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried s’mores bombs from the oil. Place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve: While still warm, dust the fried s’mores bombs with powdered sugar to add a touch of sweetness and an elegant finish. Serve immediately for best gooey results.

Notes

Maintain the oil temperature at 375°F for perfect frying without soggy or greasy bombs.
If pancake batter is too thin, the coating may not stick well; thicken slightly if necessary.
Use large marshmallows for ease of stuffing and less melting mess.
Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, gooey center before it cools and hardens.
Be cautious when frying; hot oil can splatter. Use long tongs or a slotted spoon.
