A crispy golden shell giving way to warm, gooey marshmallows and melty chocolate—these deep-fried s’mores are an indulgent twist on the classic campfire treat. I love making them when I want to impress guests or just treat myself to something extra decadent.

ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Graham crackers
Large marshmallows
Chocolate squares or chocolate chips
Refrigerated crescent roll dough or wonton wrappers
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Vegetable oil (for frying)

directions

I start by heating the oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to about 350°F (175°C).
While the oil heats, I break the graham crackers into small pieces.
I take a piece of crescent dough or a wonton wrapper and place a piece of graham cracker, a chocolate square, and a marshmallow in the center.
Then, I wrap it tightly, sealing the edges completely to avoid any leakage while frying.
I carefully lower each wrapped s’more into the hot oil and fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Once done, I transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Finally, I dust the warm treats with powdered sugar and serve immediately.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 8 servings. The prep time is around 10 minutes, and the cooking time is about 15 minutes total. I usually have everything ready and served within 30 minutes.

Variations

Sometimes I switch things up by using peanut butter cups instead of chocolate squares for an extra layer of flavor. I’ve also tried adding a slice of banana inside for a fruity twist. For the dough, puff pastry works great too if I’m out of crescent rolls.

storage/reheating

These are best enjoyed fresh, but if I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. When I reheat them, I pop them in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to bring back that crispy texture.

FAQs

How do I keep the s’mores from leaking while frying?

I make sure to seal the edges of the dough tightly—pressing them firmly and even using a bit of water to help seal if I’m using wonton wrappers.

Can I use an air fryer instead of deep frying?

Yes, I’ve made these in an air fryer at 375°F for about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. They come out crisp and delicious with less oil.

What type of chocolate works best?

I like using milk chocolate squares, but dark chocolate or even flavored chocolates like caramel-filled bars work well too.

Can I make these ahead of time?

I usually prep them ahead and keep them in the fridge, then fry them just before serving. That way, they’re warm and crispy when served.

Is it safe for kids to help make these?

Kids can help assemble the s’mores, but I always handle the frying myself to keep things safe.

Conclusion

Deep-fried s’mores bring all the nostalgia of the classic treat with an exciting, crispy twist. I always find them to be a hit, whether I’m making them for parties or just for myself. With just a few ingredients and some creativity, I can turn a simple dessert into something unforgettable.
