Ingredients
- 9 sheets of graham crackers
- 2 extra-large chocolate bars (e.g., Hershey’s Dark 4.25 oz)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (or an additional chocolate bar)
- 20-24 large marshmallows (preferably rectangular “Stackers”)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp oil
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 quart frying oil (for deep frying)
- Candy thermometer
Directions
- Prep the S’more: Line an 8×8-inch pan with cling wrap. Layer graham crackers on the bottom, spread melted chocolate chips, layer on chocolate bars, add more melted chocolate, top with marshmallows, and finish with another layer of graham crackers. Chill to set.
- Make Batter: Whisk together the egg, 1 tsp oil, and milk. In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix the wet and dry ingredients until smooth.
- Cut and Prep S’mores: Once set, cut the giant s’more into 36 squares. Keep refrigerated until ready to fry.
- Frying: Heat oil to 375°F in a saucepan. Dip each s’more square into the batter, ensuring a good coat, and deep fry in batches until golden, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Best enjoyed warm and gooey.
Tips
- Make sure the oil is hot enough to fry the s’mores quickly without completely melting the marshmallows.
- Use a candy thermometer to monitor and maintain the correct oil temperature.
- Serve immediately after frying for the best taste and texture.
