Tips and Tricks for Perfect Fried S’mores
-
Freeze Before Frying: Freezing helps the marshmallows hold their shape and prevents premature melting during frying.
-
Maintain Oil Temperature: Keep the oil between 340°F–350°F for even frying without burning the outside.
-
Use a Thermometer: An instant-read thermometer ensures consistent oil temperature for best results.
Variations and Customizations
-
Nutella S’mores Bombs: Add a tiny dollop of Nutella inside the marshmallow before coating.
-
Peanut Butter Chocolate S’mores: Dip the marshmallow in a peanut butter and chocolate mixture before adding graham cracker crumbs.

Cinnamon Twist: Mix cinnamon into your graham crackers for a warm, spicy flavor!
Pairing Suggestions

Coffee or Hot Cocoa: A rich mocha or hot chocolate perfectly complements these gooey bites.
-
Vanilla Ice Cream: Serve bombs alongside a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for a killer dessert combo.

Fresh Fruit: Strawberries or banana slices pair beautifully with the chocolatey richness.

Popular Questions
Can I air fry these s’mores bombs instead of deep frying?
Yes! Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C), spray the bombs with cooking oil, and air fry for 5–7 minutes, turning once halfway through.
What type of chocolate works best?
Semi-sweet chocolate is ideal because it balances sweetness and richness. However, milk chocolate works great for an even sweeter treat!
Can I use mini marshmallows?
It’s better to stick with large marshmallows to create that dramatic molten center. Mini marshmallows can melt too quickly and make frying tricky.
