If you’re craving something sweet, gooey, and totally irresistible, these Fried S’mores Bombs are here to satisfy every dessert fantasy. They’re crispy on the outside, warm and melty on the inside, and packed with all the classic flavors of s’mores—marshmallow, chocolate, and graham cracker—wrapped up in one delightful, golden-brown bite. Whether you’re making them for a cozy movie night, a fun dessert after dinner, or a late-night indulgence, these bite-sized treats are guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • A pinch of salt

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 12 large marshmallows

  • 12 squares of milk chocolate or chocolate chips

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count or 16 oz size)

  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil works best)

  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

  • Chocolate sauce or marshmallow dip (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Before you start assembling your Fried S’mores Bombs, set up a clean workstation. You’ll need a flat surface for rolling out the dough, a small bowl for your graham cracker mixture, and a deep frying pan or pot for frying.

Step 2: Mix the Coating

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This mixture will help form the golden coating that gives these s’mores bombs their signature crunch.

Step 3: Flatten the Biscuit Dough

Take each piece of biscuit dough and flatten it slightly using your hands or a rolling pin until it’s about 4 inches wide. This will create the perfect little pouch to wrap around your s’mores filling.

Step 4: Fill Each Bomb

Place one piece of chocolate and one large marshmallow in the center of each flattened biscuit dough round. Gently fold the dough up and around the filling, pinching the edges tightly together to seal it completely. Roll the sealed dough into a ball to ensure even cooking.

Step 5: Dip and Coat

Once your bombs are filled and sealed, dip each one into the beaten eggs, then roll them in the graham cracker mixture until fully coated. The egg wash helps the crumbs stick and forms a beautiful crisp texture when fried.

Step 6: Heat the Oil

In a deep frying pan or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, drop a small piece of dough into the oil—if it bubbles and floats, it’s ready.

Step 7: Fry the S’mores Bombs

Carefully add 2–3 bombs at a time into the hot oil (don’t overcrowd the pan). Fry them for about 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they’re golden brown on all sides. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bombs and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8: Serve

Serve your Fried S’mores Bombs warm, optionally dusting them with powdered sugar for a sweet finish. You can also drizzle them with chocolate syrup or dip them in marshmallow fluff for an extra indulgent treat.

Optional Add-Ons & Twists

Add Peanut Butter:
Place a small dollop of peanut butter alongside the marshmallow and chocolate for a Reese’s-inspired twist.

Make it Spicy:
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the graham cracker coating for a spicy-sweet flavor combination.

Try Dark Chocolate:
For a richer flavor, swap out milk chocolate for dark chocolate or even caramel-filled chocolate squares.

Air Fryer Option:
Want to skip deep frying? These can be made in the air fryer at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, or until golden brown. Be sure to spray them lightly with oil before air frying for maximum crisp.

How to Store and Reheat

Storing:
If you have leftovers (which is rare), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day or in the refrigerator for 2–3 days.

Reheating:
To reheat, pop them in a toaster oven or conventional oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes to regain their crispness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.

  • Kid-Friendly:

Serve With…

  • Ice cream scoops on the side for a s’mores sundae

  • A fun dessert board featuring fruit, cookies, and these bombs as the centerpiece

Tips & Troubleshooting

My dough is tearing:
Be sure not to roll the dough too thin. If it starts to tear, patch it with a bit of extra dough and re-seal it carefully.

The filling leaked out:
Make sure you’re sealing the bombs tightly before frying. A good pinch-and-roll technique works best.

They’re browning too quickly:
Lower the heat slightly to allow the inside to melt without burning the outside.

Why This Recipe Works

These Fried S’mores Bombs combine everything we love about the campfire classic—toasty marshmallow, melted chocolate, and sweet graham crackers—and turn it into a fun and crispy handheld treat. Using biscuit dough makes it easy, and frying gives them a rich, golden finish you just can’t get from baking alone. Every bite delivers a warm, gooey core with just the right crunch on the outside. They’re nostalgic, indulgent, and just plain fun.
