Deep-Fried Marshmallows are a fun, gooey, golden treat—kind of like campfire s’mores met carnival food and had a glorious baby.
Here’s a quick rundown on how to make them:
🍢 Deep-Fried Marshmallows Recipe
🧈 Ingredients:
- Large marshmallows (standard size)
- Pancake mix or funnel cake batter
- Water or milk (to mix with batter)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Optional:
- Graham cracker crumbs
- Chocolate chips or sauce
- Powdered sugar
- Skewers or toothpicks
🔥 Instructions:
- Heat the oil
In a deep fryer or pot, heat oil to around 350°F (175°C). You need enough oil for the marshmallows to float. - Prepare the batter
Mix pancake/funnel cake batter according to package instructions. It should be thick enough to coat a marshmallow without dripping too much. - Skewer the marshmallows
Stick marshmallows on small skewers or toothpicks for easy dipping. - Dip & coat
Dip marshmallows into the batter, making sure they’re fully covered. - Fry
Carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry for 15–30 seconds, just until golden brown. They cook very fast! - Drain
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. - Top it off
Roll in graham cracker crumbs, drizzle with chocolate, or dust with powdered sugar. Optional: serve with a side of warm Nutella or caramel.
🔁 Variations:
- S’mores Style: Add a square of chocolate inside the marshmallow (cut a slit) before battering and frying.
- Frozen First: Freeze marshmallows for 30 minutes beforehand to help them hold their shape while frying.
- Cereal Crust: After battering, roll them in crushed cereal (like Fruity Pebbles or Cinnamon Toast Crunch) before frying.
