Easy Deep Fried S’mores Recipe

Introduction

Indulge in a fun twist on a classic favorite with these Easy Deep Fried S’mores. Crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, this treat is perfect for impressing guests or satisfying a sweet craving anytime.

Ingredients

• 12 large graham crackers (24 squares)
• 12 standard marshmallows
• 6 (1.55 oz / 43g) milk chocolate bars (24 squares)
• 2 cups “just add water” pancake mix
• 1 ½ cups whole milk
• 1 large egg (optional)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
• 6-8 cups vegetable oil, for deep frying
• ¼ cup powdered sugar, for dusting
• Optional toppings: chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, whipped cream, chopped nuts

Instructions

1. Step 1: Prepare the s’mores by placing a piece of chocolate and a marshmallow between two graham cracker squares, gently pressing to form a sandwich.
2. Step 2: In a bowl, mix the pancake mix with whole milk. Add the egg and granulated sugar if using, and whisk until smooth to create a thick batter.
3. Step 3: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Make sure the oil is deep enough to fully submerge the s’mores.
4. Step 4: Dip each s’more sandwich into the pancake batter, fully coating it, and carefully lower it into the hot oil.
5. Step 5: Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
6. Step 6: Remove fried s’mores with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
7. Step 7: Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with optional toppings if desired.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crispiness, chill the assembled s’mores before dipping in batter to prevent melting inside too quickly.
• Use dark or white chocolate to vary the flavor.
• Try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for a warm spice note.

Storage

Deep fried s’mores are best enjoyed fresh and warm. If needed, store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day at room temperature. Reheat briefly in a toaster oven to restore some crispiness, but avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I bake these instead of deep frying?

Baking is not recommended as it won’t create the same crispy exterior and gooey center. Deep frying is key to achieving the classic texture.

What is the best oil to use for frying?

Vegetable oil or canola oil works best due to their high smoke points and neutral flavors, ensuring safe frying and a clean taste.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the S’mores:

• 12 large graham crackers (24 squares)
• 12 standard marshmallows
• 6 (1.55 oz / 43g) milk chocolate bars (24 squares)

For the Batter:

• 2 cups “just add water” pancake mix
• 1 ½ cups whole milk
• 1 large egg (optional)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)

For Frying and Serving:

• 6–8 cups vegetable oil, for deep frying
• ¼ cup powdered sugar, for dusting
• Optional toppings: chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, whipped cream, chopped nuts

Instructions

1. Prepare the S’mores: Break each graham cracker in half to create 24 squares. On one square, place a piece of milk chocolate and a marshmallow, then top with another graham cracker square to form a sandwich. Repeat until all are assembled.
2. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix with whole milk. If using, add the egg and granulated sugar to enrich the batter. Whisk until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
3. Heat the Oil: In a deep fryer or large heavy pot, pour the vegetable oil and heat to 350°F (175°C), using a thermometer to maintain temperature for safe and even frying.
4. Batter the S’mores: Dip each s’more sandwich into the pancake batter, fully coating it. Allow excess batter to drip off before frying.
5. Deep Fry the S’mores: Carefully place the battered s’mores into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry each for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Turn halfway to ensure even cooking.
6. Drain and Serve: Remove the fried s’mores with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Dust generously with powdered sugar while warm.
7. Add Optional Toppings: Enhance your deep-fried s’mores with chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, whipped cream, or chopped nuts as desired. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

• Maintain the oil temperature at 350°F to avoid greasy or undercooked s’mores.
• Do not overcrowd the fryer to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
• Use a thermometer for accurate oil heat measurement.
• Serve immediately as the s’mores are best enjoyed warm with melty chocolate.
• You may substitute whole milk with any milk alternative, but it may affect batter consistency.
• The egg and sugar in the batter are optional but add to flavor and texture.
• Leftover fried s’mores can be reheated in an oven to regain crispiness but may soften over time.
