Ingredient Swaps & Notes
- Chocolate: Use milk chocolate for classic flavor, dark chocolate for richness, or even peanut butter cups for a twist.

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Coating Mix
In a shallow bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
2. Prepare the Egg Wash
In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and milk until smooth.
3. Assemble the S’mores Bombs
Using a toothpick, skewer one marshmallow and one piece of chocolate together. Press gently so they stay secure.
4. Coat the Bombs
Dip each marshmallow-chocolate combo into the egg mixture. Then roll thoroughly in the graham cracker mixture until fully coated.
For extra crispiness, you can double-dip: egg wash → crumbs → egg wash → crumbs.
5. Heat the Oil
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
6. Fry in Batches
Carefully place coated bombs into hot oil. Fry 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Avoid overcrowding the pot.
7. Drain & Dust
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
Tips for Success
- 🔥 Keep Oil Temperature Steady: Too low and they’ll absorb oil; too high and they’ll burn before melting inside.
- 🧊 Work Quickly: Marshmallows soften fast—coat and fry promptly.
- 🧁 Double Coat for Crunch: This creates a thicker shell and prevents leaks.
- 🍫 Seal Completely: Make sure the marshmallow and chocolate are fully covered in crumbs to avoid blowouts.
