These delightful bites are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth and are sure to be a hit at any gathering. Let’s dive into the recipe and see how to create these delicious Fried S’mores Bombs step-by-step.
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 12 marshmallows
- 12 pieces of chocolate (about the size of a marshmallow)
- Oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Coating
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and milk until fully combined.
Step 2: Assemble the S’mores Bombs
- Prepare Marshmallows and Chocolate: Take a marshmallow and press a piece of chocolate into the center. Repeat with the remaining marshmallows and chocolate pieces.
- Coat Marshmallows: Dip each marshmallow into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then roll the marshmallow in the graham cracker mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Repeat the process to double-coat each marshmallow for a thicker crust.
Step 3: Fry the S’mores Bombs
- Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat oil over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to fully submerge the marshmallows.
- Fry Marshmallows: Carefully place the coated marshmallows into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Drain and Cool: Remove the fried marshmallows with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly.
Step 4: Serve
- Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once the Fried S’mores Bombs have cooled slightly, dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Serve: Serve the Fried S’mores Bombs warm and enjoy the gooey, melty, crispy goodness!
Cooking Notes
- Oil Temperature: Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying the marshmallows. If the oil is not hot enough, the coating will absorb more oil and become greasy. If it’s too hot, the coating may burn before the marshmallow and chocolate melt.
- Double Coating: Double-coating the marshmallows helps create a thicker, crunchier crust that holds up well during frying.
- Serving Suggestion: These Fried S’mores Bombs are best enjoyed fresh and warm. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle with chocolate sauce for an extra decadent treat.
