Tips & Variations

- If you don’t have pancake batter, a simple tempura batter works well too.
Storage

FAQs
Can I use regular chocolate bars instead of chocolate chips?
Yes, you can cut small pieces of chocolate bars to insert into the marshmallows, but chocolate chips melt more evenly and are easier to handle.
Is it necessary to use pancake batter for coating?
Pancake batter is ideal because it creates a light, crispy coating, but tempura or beer batter can also be used as alternatives.

Ingredients
Marshmallow Filling
- 1 package of large marshmallows

Batter and Coating
- 1 cup pancake batter, prepared according to package instructions
- 1 package graham crackers, crushed into crumbs
Frying
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil recommended)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Oil. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C), ensuring enough oil to fully submerge the marshmallows for even frying.
- Stuff the Marshmallows. Insert a chocolate chip into the center of each large marshmallow to create a gooey surprise inside.
- Coat with Batter. Dip each stuffed marshmallow into the prepared pancake batter, making sure it is fully and evenly coated for a crispy outer shell.
- Roll in Graham Crackers. Gently roll the batter-coated marshmallows in the crushed graham cracker crumbs so they stick to the batter for added texture and flavor.
- Fry to Golden Brown. Carefully lower the coated marshmallows into the hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes, turning if necessary, until they become golden brown and crispy.
- Drain Excess Oil. Remove the fried s’mores bombs with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil and maintain crispness.
- Serve Warm. Dust the warm fried s’mores bombs with powdered sugar and serve immediately for the best gooey, crunchy experience.
Notes
- Be careful when frying as hot oil can splash; use a deep pot and monitor temperature closely.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the gooey melted chocolate and marshmallow center.
- To crush graham crackers quickly, place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- You can use any chocolate chips like milk, dark, or even mini peanut butter chips for a different flavor twist.
