Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the S’mores
1. Line the Pan:
Take an 8×8 pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2. Assemble the Layers:
Arrange the graham crackers along the bottom of the pan. Trim the edges of the crackers if necessary to fit snugly.
Melt 8 oz of chocolate wafers in the microwave, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth.
Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the graham crackers.
Place marshmallows on top of the chocolate layer.
Melt the remaining 8 oz of chocolate and pour it over the marshmallows, spreading evenly.
Add another layer of graham crackers on top, pressing down gently to compact the layers.
3. Freeze:
Freeze the assembled s’mores for 2 hours or until firm. Cut them into chunks or squares of your desired size after freezing.

Step 2: Prepare for Frying
1. Freeze Again:
Place the cut s’mores back into the freezer for at least 2 more hours or preferably overnight. This ensures they hold their shape while frying.
2. Heat the Oil:
Preheat a deep fryer or large pot with oil to 375°F (190°C).
3. Make the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add the milk, egg, and melted butter, whisking until smooth and lump-free.

Step 3: Fry the S’mores
1. Drench in Batter:
Remove a few s’more chunks from the freezer at a time.
Insert toothpicks into the marshmallow portion of each chunk for easier handling.
Dip each chunk into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess batter gently.
2. Fry Until Golden:
Carefully place the battered s’mores into the hot oil. Fry for 1–1.5 minutes per side or until golden brown.
3. Drain and Cool:
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried s’mores from the oil. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
4. Serve:
Dust the fried s’mores with powdered sugar while still warm. Serve immediately for the best gooey and crispy experience.

Pro Tips for Success
1. Freeze Thoroughly:
Freezing the s’mores ensures they hold their shape while frying and prevents the marshmallows from melting too quickly.
2. Oil Temperature:
Use a thermometer to maintain the oil at 375°F. If the oil is too hot, the batter will burn before the inside is fully cooked.
3. Variations:
Add crushed candy bars, peanut butter, or caramel between the layers for extra indulgence.
Try flavored graham crackers (e.g., chocolate or cinnamon) for a unique twist.
4. Batch Frying:
Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pot and lowering the oil temperature.
