Equipment
- 8x8 inch pan
- Parchment paper
- Microwave-safe bowls
- Deep fryer
- Wire rack
- Paper towels
- Toothpicks
Ingredients
S'mores:
- 12 graham crackers
- 16 oz melted chocolate wafers milk, dark, or semi-sweet
- 16 large marshmallows s'more marshmallows are ideal
Deep-Fry Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper, letting the paper overhang the sides. This will make it easier to lift the s'mores out later.
- Layer the Graham Crackers: Place the graham crackers along the bottom of the pan, cutting them to fit if necessary.
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt 8 oz of chocolate wafers in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Spread the Chocolate: Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the graham crackers.
- Add the Marshmallows: Place the marshmallows on top of the chocolate.
- Melt More Chocolate: Melt the remaining 8 oz of chocolate wafers.
- Pour and Spread: Pour the melted chocolate over the marshmallows, spreading it evenly.
- Top with Graham Crackers: Place the remaining graham crackers on top of the chocolate, pressing down gently.
- Freeze: Freeze the s'mores for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
- Cut: Remove the frozen s'mores from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Freeze Again: Freeze the cut s'mores pieces for at least 2 more hours, or preferably overnight. This is crucial for preventing them from melting too quickly in the hot oil.
- Heat the Oil: Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Drench in Batter: Bring out a few s'mores chunks at a time. Stick toothpicks into the marshmallows (this will help you handle them). Drench each s'more chunk in the batter, shaking off any excess.
- Fry: Carefully lower the battered s'mores into the hot oil. Fry for 1-1.5 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Drain: Remove the fried s'mores from the oil and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain.
- Serve: Dust the deep-fried s'mores with powdered sugar and serve warm immediately.
Notes
The combination of crispy batter, melty chocolate, toasted marshmallow, and crunchy graham cracker is pure textural bliss. Freezing the s'mores is essential for preventing them from melting completely in the hot oil. Don’t skip this step!
