Instructions
1. Prep the Ingredients
- Break the chocolate bar into small squares if not already done.
- Place the graham cracker crumbs in a shallow bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, and egg to form a batter. Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl for coating.
2. Assemble the S’mores Bombs
- Take each marshmallow and push a chocolate square into the center, pinching the marshmallow closed around it.
3. Coat the S’mores Bombs
- Roll each stuffed marshmallow in the flour batter until fully coated, then roll it in the graham cracker crumbs.
- For extra crispiness, dip the coated marshmallows in the batter again and then roll in the breadcrumbs for a double coating.
4. Heat the Oil
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5. Fry the S’mores Bombs
- Carefully drop the coated s’mores bombs into the hot oil and fry for about 1-2 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. Drain and Dust
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried s’mores bombs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
7. Serve Immediately
- Enjoy these gooey treats while they’re still warm for the best experience.
Tips for Making Fried S’mores Bombs
- Keep the Oil at the Right Temperature: Too hot, and they may burn; too cold, and they may not crisp up. A kitchen thermometer is helpful to maintain the temperature.
- Try Different Fillings: Experiment with different types of chocolate like dark chocolate, caramel-filled, or even peanut butter cups for a fun variation.
- Double-Coat for Extra Crunch: For a thicker, crunchier crust, repeat the dipping process twice before frying.
- Air Fryer Alternative: If you prefer a less oily option, you can air fry these at 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serving Suggestions
- Dipping Sauce: Serve with chocolate or caramel dipping sauce on the side for an extra indulgent touch.
- Ice Cream: Pair with a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream to take the experience to the next level.
- Garnishes: Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for presentation.
