Let’s Get Frying!
- Prep Your Station: Crush your graham crackers and set them aside. In a bowl, whisk together the flour and water until you have a smooth batter.
- Assemble the Bombs: Press a few chocolate chips or a chocolate square into the center of each marshmallow, ensuring the chocolate is completely enclosed.
- Batter Up: Dip each marshmallow into the batter, making sure it’s fully coated. Let the excess drip off.
- Crumb Coat: Roll the battered marshmallow in the crushed graham crackers until completely covered. Gently press to help the crumbs adhere.
- Heat the Oil: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Test the oil by dropping in a small piece of graham cracker – it should sizzle immediately.
- Fry Time! Carefully place 2-3 s’mores bombs into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for 30-40 seconds per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve & Enjoy: Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve immediately while warm and gooey!
Tips & Tricks:
- Oil Temperature is Key: Maintain the oil at 350°F (175°C) to prevent burning or greasiness.
- Perfect Crumbs: Use finely crushed graham crackers for optimal coating and a satisfying crunch.
- Serve Fresh: These are best enjoyed right after frying, while still warm and gooey. Leftovers can be reheated briefly in the oven.
Spice Things Up!
- Peanut Butter Bombs: Add a dollop of peanut butter with the chocolate.
- Nutella Nirvana: Swap the chocolate for Nutella for a hazelnutty twist.
- Tropical Twist: Mix crushed graham crackers with shredded coconut for the coating.
