Ingredients:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs: Adds that classic s’mores flavor and a crunchy texture to the outer coating.
- 1/2 cup flour: Helps to bind the ingredients together.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder: Adds a bit of fluffiness to the coating.
- A pinch of salt: Enhances the flavors.
- 2 eggs, beaten: Acts as a binding agent to help the coating stick to the marshmallows.
- 1/4 cup milk: Thins the batter slightly for easy coating.
- 12 marshmallows: The gooey center of each s’mores bomb.
- 12 pieces of chocolate (about the size of a marshmallow): The melty chocolate center of the bombs.
- Oil for frying: For frying the s’mores bombs until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Powdered sugar for dusting: Adds a sweet finishing touch.
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Coating Mixture
- In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients: Combine the graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Prepare the wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk. Stir until fully combined.
Step 2: Assemble the S’mores Bombs
- Prepare the marshmallows and chocolate: Lay out 12 marshmallows and 12 pieces of chocolate.
- Insert the chocolate: Using a small knife, make a slit in each marshmallow and insert a piece of chocolate into the center. Press the marshmallow around the chocolate to seal it inside.
Step 3: Coat the S’mores Bombs
- Dip the marshmallows: One at a time, dip each marshmallow into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Coat with the dry mixture: After dipping in the wet mixture, roll the marshmallow in the graham cracker and flour mixture until it is fully coated. Press gently to ensure the crumbs stick well.
- Repeat for all marshmallows: Continue until all marshmallows are coated and ready for frying.
Step 4: Fry the S’mores Bombs
- Heat the oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure the oil is deep enough to fully submerge the s’mores bombs.
- Fry the bombs: Carefully place a few s’mores bombs into the hot oil, frying them in batches. Fry for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Drain and cool: Remove the fried s’mores bombs with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
- Dust with powdered sugar: Once the s’mores bombs are slightly cooled but still warm, dust them generously with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
- Serve immediately: These treats are best served warm while the chocolate is still gooey inside.
Tips for Success:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the more delicious your s’mores bombs will be.
- Work quickly: Marshmallows can become sticky if left out for too long, so work efficiently when coating and frying.
- Monitor the oil temperature: Keeping the oil at a consistent temperature is key to achieving perfectly golden and crispy s’mores bombs.
Variations:
- Peanut Butter S’mores Bombs: Add a small dollop of peanut butter inside the marshmallow along with the chocolate for a peanut butter twist.
- Nutella S’mores Bombs: Swap the chocolate piece for a small spoonful of Nutella for a creamy, hazelnut flavor.
- White Chocolate S’mores Bombs: Use white chocolate instead of milk or dark chocolate for a sweeter version of these treats.
