Deep fried smores originated as State Fair concoctions, but haven’t really been made at home … until now. In this recipe, we’ve adapted them into golden pouffy balls that melt in your mouth with gooey s’mores flavors on the inside.
How to make deep fried s’mores
There’s a bit of dedication required to make deep fried s’mores. We often sacrifice the first few balls to get the hang of it, and then the rest come along more easily. The first step is to take a square 8-inch pan and line with parchment paper. Then you can place graham crackers in the bottom.
The rest of the smores is a layering process with graham crackers, melted chocolate, chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. The melted chocolate acts as the glue to hold it all together:
Chill for ten minutes, and then cut them into about 36 inch-size squares. You may be wondering how square pieces become round balls, and the battering process that follows is the secret.
Using a simple pancake batter, either homemade in this recipe or using a packaged mix, dip the s’more pieces in one-by-one and fry them for about a minute in 400°F oil. Repeat the process until all the pieces have been deep fried.

Ingredients
S'mores
- 9 graham cracker sheets
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 cups chocolate chips, or 8 oz baking chocolate, divided
Batter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp oil
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Frying & Serving
- 1 quart vegetable oil, for frying
- powdered sugar , optional for serving
Instructions
S'mores
- Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Arrange graham crackers to cover the bottom of the pan, breaking up sheets as needed to fit.
- Place 1 cup of chocolate chips in a bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals until smooth, stirring in between.
- Drizzle 1/3 of the melted chocolate onto the graham crackers, followed by the remaining chocolate chips, followed by 1/3 more melted chocolate, followed by the marshmallows, and finally the remaining melted chocolate.
- Top with a layer of graham crackers according to the video, and place the pan in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, make the batter.
Batter
- In a medium saucepan or deep fryer, add vegetable oil and set temperature to 425°F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil and milk.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour in the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Frying
- To get ready for frying, line a large plate with paper towel and set aside. Also get tongs and a slotted spoon.
- Remove the s'mores from the fridge. Lift them out of the pan and onto a work surface using the parchment paper.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the s'mores into 6x6 grid to make 36 pieces. If any pieces break, use melted chocolate to glue them back together.
- Drop a s’mores piece into the batter and using the tongs coat completely. Then lift the coated s'more out and let excess batter drip off.
- Place the s'more into the hot oil, and fry for about 1 minute until it has puffed into a ball and turned golden brown. Remove to the prepared plate.
- Repeat the battering, frying process for the remaining s'mores. (It may take a few to get the hang of it.)
- Dust with optional powdered sugar. Serve warm and enjoy!

tried it earlier, but the crackers broke even i used sharp knife. any tips on how will i cut it just right like yours?
Hi Sam, Thanks for your question. The way to prevent cracking is by spreading the melted chocolate evenly, since it helps hold everything together. A very sharp paring knife is also helpful. Hope that helps!
Does it have to be an 8in pan?!
Hi Sam, 8-inch or 9-inch will work. Thanks for your question! 🙂
could i use just chocolate syrup instead of melting the chips for drizzle?
Hi Eddie, Absolutely can and I will add that to the recipe notes. Thanks for the suggestion 🙂
Could you use Graham cracker crumbs instead?
Hi Laura, Thanks fo your question. You need graham cracker sheets, as the crumbs won’t hold together during deep frying. Hope that helps and enjoy!
Why chocolate chips instead of chocolate bars? And how do you cut them without the graham cracker breaking into Shards?
Hi Briauna, Thanks for your question. You can use 8 oz baking chocolate instead of the chocolate chips. You can cut through the graham crackers with a sharp knife. There may be a few shards, but it’s ok otherwise. Hope that helps!
Amazing so gnna try
Awesome, you’ll love them!
Delicious but how do I get the melted choc chips to drizzle……when I melted the chips they were way to thick to drizzle….
Thanks Rick glad you liked it. There’s some variation in chocolate chips, so add a bit of coconut oil when melting if it’s too thick. Alternatively use semisweet baking chocolate instead of chocolate chips…
you could also try a double boiler and butter. you basically put hot water in a pot and a bowl on top, you just have to make sure the bowl is heat resistant.
Should I use semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips?
Either is fine but you might find milk chocolate too sweet. Enjoy!
It says how many calories but doesn’t say what a serving size is. Hopefully it isn’t just one
Hi Mary, The serving size is one ball and it’s 117 calories per ball. There was an error in the calculation previously. Hope that helps 🙂
Not at all but we’re nearing the holiday season munch away
