Fried S’mores Bombs 🏕️✨

Introduction

There’s something magical about the combination of chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers that transports you to cozy campfire nights, even when you’re indoors. Recently, I decided to try making Fried S’mores Bombs, and the experience was nothing short of delightful. My family couldn’t get enough of these warm, gooey treats. The crispy exterior and melty filling created an irresistible bite that brought smiles all around. It quickly became a favorite in our household, and I’m excited to share this recipe with you!

Ingredients

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 8 large marshmallows
• 8 squares of milk chocolate (or chocolate chips)
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
• Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

Start by rolling each piece of biscuit dough into a flat, round shape. You want it to be about 4 inches in diameter, enough to hold the delicious filling without breaking.

2. Assemble the Bombs

Place one marshmallow and one square of chocolate (or a few chocolate chips) in the center of each dough round. Carefully fold the dough over the filling, making sure to pinch the edges tightly to seal them. This step is crucial to prevent the chocolate and marshmallow from leaking during frying.

3. Coat in Graham Crumbs

Roll each bomb in the graham cracker crumbs until they are fully coated. This not only adds flavor but also gives them that classic s’mores texture.

4. Fry the Bombs

Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully drop 2-3 bombs at a time into the hot oil, frying them for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown on all sides. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

5. Serve

If desired, dust the fried s’mores bombs with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best gooey experience!

Additional Tips

1. Use Different Chocolates: Try using dark chocolate, caramel-filled chocolates, or even white chocolate for variety.
2. Experiment with Fillings: Add peanut butter, Nutella, or even fruit like strawberries for a fun twist.
3. Keep the Oil Temperature Steady: Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature for even frying.
4. Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Fry only a few at a time to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
5. Cool Before Serving: Let them cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your tongue on the hot filling.

Recipe Variations

• Fried S’mores Cheesecake Bombs: Replace the marshmallow with cheesecake filling for a decadent variation.
• S’mores Mini Pies: Instead of frying, bake the filled dough in muffin tins for a different texture.
• Savory S’mores Bombs: Try using cheese and jalapeños instead of chocolate and marshmallows for a savory twist.

Serving Suggestions

• At a Party: Serve as a fun dessert option at parties or barbecues.
• Game Night Snack: Perfect for munching on during family game nights or movie marathons.
• Camping Treats: Make these ahead of time and bring them on a camping trip for an easy dessert.

Freezing and Storage

• Freezing: You can freeze the un-fried bombs for up to 1 month. Just assemble them and place them on a baking sheet in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag. Fry directly from frozen, adding a minute or two to the cooking time.
• Storage: If you have leftovers (which is unlikely!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
