Ingredients :
- 8 large marshmallows or 8 marshmallow halves for easier coating
- 4 squares milk chocolate (or 8 small pieces)
- 4 graham cracker squares (or pre-cut sandwich squares)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or plain)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Oil for deep frying (vegetable or canola), about 2 inches deep
Directions :
- Assemble: Place chocolate on one graham square, add marshmallow, and top with second graham square to make a sandwich. Press gently.
- Heat oil: Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). If you do not have a thermometer, test with a small breadcrumb; it should sizzle and turn golden fast.
- Coat: Dust each s’more lightly in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat fully.
- Fry: Fry 1–2 s’mores at a time for 30–60 seconds per side until golden and crisp. Watch carefully so the marshmallow melts but does not burst.
- Drain: Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm: Let cool 1 minute, then enjoy while chocolate is melty.

FAQs
Q: Can I bake these instead of frying?
A: Yes. Brush each sandwich with butter and bake at 400°F (205°C) for 6–8 minutes until golden, watching closely so marshmallow melts.
Q: Will the marshmallow leak during frying?
A: If you seal the edges and do not overfill, leaks are rare. Fry quickly and at the right oil temperature.
Q: Is there a non-dairy option?
A: Yes. Use dairy-free chocolate and vegan marshmallows to make a non-dairy version.
Q: Can I freeze them?
A: Freezing is not recommended. The texture will change and the marshmallow can become hard.
Q: How do I know the oil is the right temperature?
A: Use a candy or frying thermometer set to 350°F (175°C). A small breadcrumb should sizzle and brown in a few seconds.
