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
Directions:
- Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, and salt. This flavorful mixture will give your s’mores bombs that irresistible crunch.
- Create the Dipping Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together beaten eggs and milk. This creamy blend will help bind the coating to the marshmallows and chocolate, ensuring a perfect golden finish.
- Skewer and Dip: Skewer each marshmallow and a piece of chocolate together with a toothpick, creating delightful little duos of sweetness. Dip each duo into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated, then roll them in the graham cracker mixture until every inch is covered in deliciousness.
- Fry to Perfection: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). Carefully fry the coated marshmallows and chocolate in batches, allowing them to sizzle until they reach a delectable golden brown hue, approximately 2-3 minutes. The aroma alone will have your taste buds dancing with anticipation!
- Serve and Enjoy: Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried s’mores bombs from the oil and let them drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Before serving, dust them generously with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness that will have everyone reaching for seconds.
Serving Tips:
- Create a Dessert Spread: Arrange your Fried S’mores Bombs on a decorative platter alongside a variety of dipping sauces such as melted chocolate, caramel, or raspberry coulis for an indulgent dessert spread that will impress your guests.
- Garnish with Fresh Fruit: Add a pop of color and freshness by garnishing your s’mores bombs with sliced strawberries, raspberries, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts before serving. Not only does it enhance the presentation, but it also adds a delightful contrast of flavors and textures.
- Pair with Ice Cream: Serve your Fried S’mores Bombs alongside a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. The warm, crispy exterior of the bombs paired with the cold, creamy ice cream creates a heavenly combination that’s hard to resist.
- Customize with Toppings: Encourage creativity by setting out a variety of toppings such as crushed Oreos, mini chocolate chips, or toasted coconut, allowing guests to customize their s’mores bombs to their liking for a personalized dessert experience.
Storage Tips:
- Immediate Enjoyment: Fried s’mores bombs are best enjoyed fresh and warm, straight from the fryer. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1-2 days.
- Reheating: To reheat leftover s’mores bombs, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through and crispy.
- Freezing: While it’s not recommended to freeze already fried s’mores bombs, you can prepare the coated marshmallows and chocolate ahead of time and freeze them on a baking sheet until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 1 month. When ready to enjoy, fry them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

FAQs:
Can I bake these s’mores bombs instead of frying them?
Absolutely! While frying gives the s’mores bombs a crispy exterior, you can achieve a similar result by baking them. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), place the coated marshmallows and chocolate on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Can I use different types of chocolate for the s’mores bombs?
Certainly! Feel free to get creative with the type of chocolate you use. Whether you prefer milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even flavored chocolates like caramel or peanut butter-filled, the choice is yours. Just ensure that the chocolate pieces are about the same size as the marshmallows for even frying.
Can I make these s’mores bombs ahead of time for a party?
While s’mores bombs are best enjoyed fresh and warm, you can prepare the coated marshmallows and chocolate ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 4-6 hours before frying. Just be sure to let them come to room temperature before frying to ensure even cooking.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
For a gluten-free version of these s’mores bombs, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensure that your graham cracker crumbs are certified gluten-free. Additionally, double-check that all other ingredients, including the baking powder, are gluten-free certified to accommodate those with gluten sensitivities or allergies.
