Jump to Recipe TOOLS AND SUPPLIES NEEDED: dutch oven or other heavy bottom potcandy thermometer or oil thermometermedium bowlwhisk or hand mixerslotted spoon or slotted utensilkitchen tongs PREHEAT THE OIL: Fill a heavy bottom pot 5-6 inches deep with vegetable oil. Use an oil or candy thermometer in the oil to monitor the temperature. Bring oil to 375°F. KITCHEN TIPMake sure you have the oil at the correct 375 ºF temperature before you start frying. If your oil is too cold the s’mores will absorb too much oil while cooking and become oily. If the oil is too hot the s’mores will burn. KITCHEN TIPWhen frying it is important to use an oil with a high smoke point like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil. Oils with a low smoke point may cause an odd taste in your food. COMBINE PANCAKE BATTER INGREDIENTS: Add pancake mix, milk, vegetable oil and egg to a mixing bowl. WHISK PANCAKE BATTER: Whisk until most of the lumps are gone. The mixture should be thick enough to coat your s’more without the batter running off. Add more mix if the batter is too thin or more milk if the mixture is too thick. Let batter sit for 5 minutes. STACK S’MORES: Stack a s’more by breaking your graham cracker sheets in half so you have 2 squares. Place one square down and put a marshmallow on top. ADD CHOCOLATE: Then add a square of chocolate (half a Hershey bar). FINISH S’MORES: Finish the stack by adding the top graham cracker. Make 8 of these. KITCHEN TIPTry making smaller s’mores if you are making them for little kids. DIP THE S’MORES: Coat s’more in batter, holding them together with you hands or tongs. Shake gently to remove excess batter. DEEP FRY: Gently place battered s’more into the hot oil. Hold the s’more in the hot oil with tongs for a couple seconds beore releasing the tongs. This will help the batter start to cook up and keep the s’more together. Alternatively, just hold half the s’more in the oil with your hands, being very careful to keep your fingers away from oil splatter. KITCHEN TIPIf you have a deep fryer, you can also fry your s’mores in that. REMOVE FROM OIL: Remove from the oil when the whole s’more is a deep golden brown. Place on a wire rack covered in paper towel to absorb excess oil. Repeat with the rest of the s’mores. COOL: Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes then eat while warm. KITCHEN TIPOPTIONAL: Dust your chocolate s’mores with powdered sugar. KITCHEN TIPTo be able to fully enjoy the gooey marshmallow and melty chocolate center of a battered and fried s’more, eat them while they are warm. Once they cool or are refrigerated the graham cracker becomes soggy. RELATED RECIPES While we love marshmallow s’mores we also love some of these other recipes and think you will as well.

Once they cool or are stored in the refrigerator the graham cracker becomes soggy. They are therefore not suited to be stored. Can you reheat deep fried s’mores?Deep fried s’mores, like most fried foods, are best eaten fresh. We do not recommend reheating them as they would lose their crispiness and texture. What can you use instead of graham crackers for s’mores?Even though a delicious graham cracker is part of the original s’mores recipe, you can get creative and try out other options such as digestive biscuits, ginger snaps, Nilla wafers or even saltines. 5 from 5 votes Deep Fried S’mores Course Dessert Cuisine American Prep Time 10 minutes Cook Time 5 minutes Print Pin Rate 8 large deep fried s’mores A fun new twist on a traditional summer dessert.

Andrea + Stef says March 10, 2022 When Stef and I decided to make these I wasn’t sure. Full disclosure, I’m not a huge s’mores fan. I know, I know, that’s crazy. But I don’t really love marshmallow. However, it turns out when you deep fry anything it makes it better. Definitely eat these while they’re warm! It’s a really fun alternative to traditional s’mores. – Andrea Reply
