Wow, can anything get better than this?!

Fried S'mores Bombs weave together the nostalgic flavors of campfire s'mores - the quintessential American treat with origins dating back to the early 20th century - and the convenience of home cooking. This delightful and playful dessert is a modern twist on the classic trio of chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers. Perfect for those who are adventurous in the kitchen and looking for a speedy way to satisfy their sweet tooth, this recipe combines traditional s'mores ingredients encased in a golden biscuit dough, fried to perfection, and drizzled with a rich chocolate sauce for good measure.

While these Fried S'mores Bombs are indulgent all by themselves, serving them with a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream can transform each bite into a creamy dream. Alternatively, a cup of hot chocolate or cold milk can be the perfect pairing, emulating the childhood ritual of s'mores and a bedtime drink.

Fried S'mores Bombs
Servings: 8 servings

- 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 8 large marshmallows
- 8 pieces of chocolate (about 1-inch squares, or equivalent chocolate chips)
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Chocolate sauce, for drizzling

1. Begin by heating about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a sturdy pot or deep fryer to 350°F.

2. While the oil is warming up, prepare the biscuit dough. Flatten each biscuit into a roughly 3-inch diameter circle.

3. Place a piece of chocolate in the center of each biscuit, topped with a marshmallow.

4. Encase the chocolate and marshmallow with the dough, pinching the dough together to seal and form a ball. Ensure that there are no openings to prevent leaking while frying.

5. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon.

6. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the dough balls into the oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding and keep a consistent temperature.

7. Fry each bomb until golden brown, which typically takes about 2 to 3 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking.

8. Remove the bombs with a slotted spoon and immediately roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

9. Allow the bombs to cool slightly on a paper towel-lined plate.

10. Drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving warm.

- Chocolate lovers can add a chocolate drizzle inside the bomb along with the solid pieces of chocolate for an extra gooey center.
- Nut enthusiasts might add chopped pecans or almonds into the graham cracker mixture for a crunchy texture.
- Experiment with flavored marshmallows for an interesting twist or use marshmallow fluff for a smoother filling.
- Make sure to seal the dough well to prevent any fillings from leaking out during the frying process.
- For an extra layer of flavor, mix a small amount of cocoa powder into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Always be careful when frying with hot oil, keeping a kitchen fire extinguisher or baking soda nearby in case of emergencies. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to protect your hands from splatters.
- Indulgent as they are, these bombs are best enjoyed fresh and in moderation. However, they will keep in an airtight container for a day or two, though the texture is best when they're fresh out of the fryer.
