Fried S’mores Bombs Recipe

Ingredients:

• 8 large marshmallows
• 8 graham crackers, crushed into fine crumbs
• 8 pieces of milk chocolate (about 1-inch squares)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Equipment:

• Deep-frying thermometer
• Deep skillet or saucepan
• Tongs or slotted spoon
• Paper towels
• Small bowls for dipping

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
   • Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs and place them in a shallow bowl.
   • In another bowl, combine the flour with the ground cinnamon (if using).
   • In a third bowl, mix the beaten eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
2. Assembling the S’mores Bombs:
   • Take a large marshmallow and press a piece of milk chocolate into the center.
   • Pinch the marshmallow around the chocolate to enclose it completely.
3. Coating Process:
   • Roll the stuffed marshmallow in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
   • Dip the floured marshmallow into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
   • Roll the marshmallow in the graham cracker crumbs, pressing gently to adhere. For an extra crunchy coating, you can repeat the egg and graham cracker steps.
4. Frying:
   • Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Use a deep-frying thermometer to monitor the temperature.
   • Carefully lower a few of the coated marshmallows into the hot oil using tongs or a slotted spoon. Fry them for about 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on all sides. Turn them gently to ensure even cooking.
   • Remove the fried S’mores Bombs with the tongs or slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining marshmallows.
5. Serving:
   • Dust the Fried S’mores Bombs with powdered sugar if desired.
   • Serve them warm and enjoy the gooey, chocolaty goodness inside.

Tips:

• Oil Temperature: Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature. If it’s too hot, the marshmallows may burn quickly; if it’s too cool, they may absorb too much oil and become greasy.
• Assembly Line: Set up an assembly line for coating the marshmallows to make the process quicker and less messy.
• Serving: These are best enjoyed fresh and warm. If they cool down, you can reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
• Variations: Try different types of chocolate (dark, white, or flavored) for a variety of tastes.

Enjoy your delicious and indulgent Fried S’mores Bombs!
