Ingredients

  • 4–5 large marshmallows, halved

  • 1 chocolate bar (milk or semi-sweet), broken into squares

For the batter:

  • 1 cup pancake mix

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For frying:

  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Optional toppings:

  • Powdered sugar

How to Make Deep Fried S’Mores Delight

Step 1: Assemble the S’Mores

Place a square of chocolate and a halved marshmallow between two graham cracker squares to form a sandwich.

Press gently to hold together.

For extra stability, freeze assembled s’mores for 10–15 minutes before frying.

Step 2: Prepare the Batter

In a bowl, whisk together:

  • Pancake mix

  • Milk

  • Egg

  • Vanilla

The batter should be thick enough to coat but still smooth.

Step 3: Heat the Oil

Pour oil into a deep pan until about 2–3 inches deep.

Heat to 350°F (175°C).

Carefully maintain temperature — too hot and it burns, too cool and it absorbs too much oil.

Step 4: Dip and Fry

Dip each s’more sandwich into the batter, fully coating it.

Carefully lower into hot oil.

Fry for about 1–2 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Do not overcrowd the pan.

Step 5: Drain

Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Let cool slightly before serving — the filling will be very hot.

Expert Tips

Freeze Before Frying

This helps prevent the marshmallow from leaking too quickly.

Monitor Oil Temperature

Consistent heat ensures crispy texture.

Serve Immediately

Best enjoyed warm and fresh.

Use Thick Batter

Thin batter may slide off during frying.

Flavor Variations

Peanut Butter S’Mores

Add a thin layer of peanut butter inside.

Cookies and Cream

Use chocolate sandwich cookies instead of graham crackers.

Nutella S’Mores

Swap chocolate bar for hazelnut spread.

Banana S’Mores

Add a thin slice of banana for extra sweetness.

Safety Tips for Frying

  • Never leave hot oil unattended.

  • Use a thermometer if possible.

  • Keep children away from hot oil.

  • Let oil cool completely before disposing.

Storage

These are best eaten fresh.

If needed, store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day and reheat briefly in the oven or air fryer to crisp up.

Serving Suggestions

Serve warm with:

  • Powdered sugar dusting

  • Chocolate drizzle

  • Caramel sauce

  • Vanilla ice cream

Because they are rich and sweet, smaller portions work best.
