FAQs
Q: Can I use marshmallow fluff instead?
A: Yes! Pipe a small amount between graham crackers before battering.
Q: How do I prevent the chocolate from leaking?
A. Freeze assembled s’mores for 10-15 minutes before dipping in batter.
Q: Can I bake these instead of frying?
A: For a lighter version, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes—but they won’t be as crispy.
Q: What oil is best for frying?
A: Use vegetable, canola, or peanut oil for a neutral taste.
Q: How do I store leftovers?
A: Best eaten fresh, but you can refrigerate and reheat in the oven (they’ll lose crispiness).
Tips for the Best Deep-Fried S’mores
- Don’t overcrowd the pot – Lowers oil temp, making them greasy.
- Use fresh marshmallows – Stale ones won’t melt as well.
- Double the chocolate – Because more is always better!
- Serve with ice cream – For an epic dessert combo.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Oil too hot – Burns the outside before the inside melts.
- Skipping the seal – Graham crackers may separate if not pressed firmly.
- Overbattering – A thin, even coat is best.
Conclusion
These Deep-Fried S’mores are a fun, indulgent twist on a classic—crispy, melty, and impossible to resist. Whether you’re hosting a party or just treating yourself, they’re sure to be a hit.

Ingredients
6 graham crackers, broken in half
6 large marshmallows
3 chocolate bars, broken into sections
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
Vegetable oil for frying
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your deep fryer to 375°F (190°C) or heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches the same temperature.
Prepare the s’mores by placing a marshmallow and a piece of chocolate on one half of each graham cracker. Top with the remaining graham cracker halves to form sandwiches.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
In another bowl, whisk together milk and egg until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Dip each assembled s’more into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Carefully lower the battered s’mores into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or tongs. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried s’mores from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Allow them to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy the irresistible combination of crunchy exterior and molten marshmallow and chocolate filling!
