Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. You’ll need graham crackers, semi-sweet chocolate, mini marshmallows, and a batter made from all-purpose flour, baking powder, and milk. Having everything ready will streamline the process.
Make the Batter
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add 1 cup of milk, whisking until the batter is smooth. It should be thick enough to coat the bites but not too runny.
Assemble the Bites
- Cut the graham crackers into squares, about 2 inches each. On half of the squares, place a piece of chocolate and a mini marshmallow. Top with another graham cracker square to create a sandwich. Press gently to seal.
Heat the Oil
- In a frying pan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the surface, you’re good to go!
Coat the Bites
- Dip each assembled s’mores bite into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before frying. This step is crucial for achieving that crispy texture.
Fry Until Golden
- Carefully place the battered bites into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as they can cook quickly!
Drain and Cool
- Once golden, remove the bites from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. This will help maintain their crispy exterior.
Dust with Cinnamon Sugar
- While still warm, sprinkle the bites with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. This step is optional but highly recommended!
Serve and Enjoy
- Your Crispy Fried S’mores Bites are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them warm with a side of chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping. They make for a fun snack at parties or a cozy dessert at home.
