Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth or impressing guests at your next gathering, this recipe is sure to become a beloved favorite. Let’s dive into the details:


Ingredients

  • 9 sheets of graham crackers
  • 2 extra-large chocolate bars (like Hershey’s Dark, about 4.25 oz each)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (or another chocolate bar if you prefer)
  • 2024 large marshmallows (the rectangular ones are great if you can find them)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon of oil
  • 3/4 cup of milk
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 quart of frying oil (for deep frying)
  • Candy thermometer

Instructions

  1. Prep the S’more: Begin by lining an 8×8-inch pan with cling wrap. Layer graham crackers on the bottom, spread melted chocolate chips, layer on chocolate bars, add more melted chocolate, top with marshmallows, and finish with another layer of graham crackers. Chill the assembled s’mores in the refrigerator to set.
  2. Make Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, 1 teaspoon of oil, and milk. In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the wet and dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Cut and Prep S’mores: Once the giant s’more is set, cut it into 36 squares. Keep the squares refrigerated until ready to fry.
  4. Frying: Heat frying oil in a saucepan to 375°F, using a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Dip each s’more square into the batter, ensuring a good coat, and carefully deep fry in batches until they turn golden brown, approximately 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried s’mores from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
  5. Serve: Deep Fried S’mores are best enjoyed warm and gooey. Serve them immediately to experience the irresistible combination of crispy exterior and melty interior.

Notes

Serving Tips:

  1. Serve with a Sidekick: Enhance the experience by serving your Deep Fried S’mores with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra decadent treat.
  2. Drizzle with Delight: Elevate the presentation by drizzling warm chocolate sauce or caramel syrup over the fried s’mores before serving for an added touch of indulgence.
  3. Garnish Galore: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers, chopped nuts, or a dusting of powdered sugar over the plated s’mores for a decorative and flavorful finishing touch.
  4. Create a Platter: Arrange the fried s’mores on a platter with fresh berries, sliced fruit, or mini marshmallows for a visually appealing and delicious dessert spread.
  5. Share the Joy: Invite friends and family to join in the fun by hosting a s’mores party where guests can customize their own deep-fried creations with an assortment of toppings and sauces.

Storage Tips:

  1. Refrigerate Leftovers: If you have any leftover Deep Fried S’mores, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes to restore their crispiness.
  2. Freeze for Future Cravings: To prolong the shelf life, freeze the fried s’mores in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month. Reheat from frozen in the oven or air fryer until heated through.
  3. Avoid Stack Sticking: To prevent the fried s’mores from sticking together, place parchment paper or wax paper between layers when storing them in the refrigerator or freezer.
  4. Reheat with Care: When reheating refrigerated or frozen Deep Fried S’mores, use a low oven temperature to avoid burning the exterior while ensuring the interior is heated through.
  5. Enjoy Fresh: For the best taste and texture, it’s recommended to enjoy Deep Fried S’mores fresh out of the fryer. However, if reheating, aim to serve them as soon as they are warmed through to maintain their crispy coating and gooey center.

 

With these serving and storage tips, you can make the most of your Deep Fried S’mores, whether you’re enjoying them as a special treat or saving some for later indulgence.
