• Fun and shareable – perfect for parties, game nights, or family gatherings.
• Minimal ingredients – all the flavors of s’mores with a few pantry staples.

Ingredients

• Large marshmallows
• Chocolate squares or chips
• Graham cracker crumbs
• Biscuit or crescent roll dough
• Oil for frying
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling – Press a chocolate square into the center of each marshmallow. Roll the marshmallow in graham cracker crumbs until coated.
2. Wrap the dough – Flatten a piece of biscuit or crescent roll dough and wrap it completely around the marshmallow, sealing all seams well.
3. Heat the oil – Pour oil into a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot and heat to medium-high.
4. Fry the bombs – Carefully place the wrapped marshmallows into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry until golden brown on all sides.
5. Drain and dust – Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess grease. While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar.
6. Serve immediately – Enjoy while the center is hot and gooey for the ultimate experience.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with a side of chocolate sauce for dipping.
• Top with caramel drizzle for extra sweetness.
• Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a hot-and-cold contrast.
• Serve at movie nights or kids’ birthday parties.
• Make a “Fried S’mores Platter” with different chocolates (milk, dark, white).

Tips for Success

• Seal dough tightly to prevent marshmallow from leaking while frying.
• Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature.
• Roll in cinnamon sugar instead of powdered sugar for a flavor twist.
• For a less greasy option, bake in the oven until golden brown.
• Freeze prepared (unfried) bombs and fry later for quick treats.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use mini marshmallows instead of large ones?
Yes, just stack 2-3 mini marshmallows with chocolate in between before wrapping.

2. What type of oil is best for frying?
Vegetable or canola oil works best because of their neutral flavor and high smoke point.

3. Can I make these in an air fryer?
Yes, air fry at 375°F until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway.

4. How do I keep them from bursting open?
Make sure the dough is sealed tightly and avoid overfilling.

5. Can I prepare them ahead of time?
Yes, assemble and refrigerate them until ready to fry.

6. How do I store leftovers?
They are best eaten fresh, but you can store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day and reheat in the oven.

7. Can I use Nutella instead of chocolate squares?
Absolutely – just freeze small dollops of Nutella first so it’s easier to wrap.

8. How do I make them extra crispy?
Double-coat them by dipping wrapped bombs in milk, then rolling in graham cracker crumbs before frying.

9. Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes, use gluten-free graham crackers and dough.

10. Do I need a deep fryer?
No, a heavy pot works fine – just use a thermometer to keep oil at the right temperature.
