Kitchen Equipment Needed

Deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot
Slotted spoon
Medium mixing bowl
Rolling pin or food processor (for crushing graham crackers)
Small bowls for dredging
Paper towels (for draining excess oil)

Ingredients Overview

Marshmallows: Full-sized marshmallows are perfect for the gooey center that everyone loves.
Chocolate: Use milk or dark chocolate squares, or even chocolate chips, to create a rich and melty filling.
Graham Crackers: Crushed graham crackers add a classic crunch to the coating.
Eggs and Milk: Create the binding mixture to help the coating adhere.
Flour: Helps provide structure to the outer coating.
Oil for Frying: Vegetable oil or any neutral oil with a high smoke point works best.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients:
- Crush the graham crackers using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin until they are fine crumbs. Set aside in a bowl.
Assemble the S’mores Bombs:
- Take a full-sized marshmallow and press a small piece of chocolate into the center. Reshape the marshmallow around the chocolate if needed to fully encase it.
Set Up the Coating Station:
- In one bowl, place the flour. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, add the crushed graham crackers.
Coat the S’mores Bombs:
- Roll each marshmallow in flour, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it in the egg mixture, and finally, coat it in the crushed graham crackers, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs well.
Heat the Oil:
- In a deep fryer or a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the S’mores Bombs:
- Carefully drop a few coated marshmallows into the hot oil, frying for 20-30 seconds or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain.
Serve Immediately:
- Serve the fried s’mores bombs warm for the best gooey experience.

Recipe Tips

Quick Frying: Don’t fry too long, or the marshmallows will ooze out. A quick golden crisp is all you need.
Keep an Eye on the Oil: Make sure your oil stays at a consistent temperature to avoid greasy or burnt s’mores bombs.
Extra Crunch: Add some finely chopped nuts to the graham cracker coating for a nutty twist.

What to Serve With This Recipe

Vanilla Ice Cream: The coolness of ice cream pairs beautifully with the warm, gooey s’mores bombs.
Hot Chocolate: A rich hot chocolate drink makes for a perfect companion on a chilly evening.
Fresh Berries: Balance the sweetness with a side of fresh, tart berries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: It’s best to enjoy them fresh, but you can prep the marshmallow-chocolate bombs and coat them in advance. Just fry them right before serving.

Q: What type of chocolate works best?
A: Any chocolate that melts well will work. Milk chocolate gives a classic s’mores flavor, while dark chocolate adds a richer, less sweet taste.

Q: Can I bake these instead of frying?
A: Yes, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until golden, though they won’t be as crispy as the fried version.
