Storage/Reheating

Fried S’mores Bombs are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers:

Storage: Store cooled bombs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
Reheating: Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to regain crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as they may become soggy.

FAQs

What type of chocolate works best for this recipe?

Milk chocolate is classic, but dark chocolate or flavored varieties like caramel-filled bars also work well.

Can I make these without a deep fryer?

Yes, you can fry them in a heavy-bottomed pot with a thermometer to control the oil temperature.

How do I prevent the coating from falling off during frying?

Make sure the marshmallows are well-coated in the egg mixture and then completely covered in the crumb mix. Press the crumbs gently to help them stick.

Can I prepare them ahead of time?

You can assemble and coat them a few hours ahead and refrigerate until ready to fry.

Are these safe to make with kids?

Yes, but adults should handle the frying. Kids can help with dipping and rolling.

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Baking won’t give the same crispy texture, but you can try baking at 400°F for about 10 minutes until golden.

Can I use mini marshmallows instead?

It’s best to stick with regular-sized marshmallows for proper structure and filling, but you can try stacking two mini ones.

How do I know when the oil is ready?

Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at 375°F (190°C) or drop a small bit of batter in—it should sizzle and rise quickly.

What’s the best oil for frying?

Use neutral oils with high smoke points like canola, vegetable, or peanut oil.

Can I freeze them?

Fried S’mores Bombs aren’t ideal for freezing, as the texture may suffer upon reheating.
