• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed

• 1 egg
• Oil for frying
For the Filling:
• 1 jar marshmallow cream
• 1 cup chocolate chips or chocolate spread
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
For the Toppings:
• Powdered sugar
• Chocolate syrup
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
2. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for a few minutes.
5. Roll the dough to about ¼ inch thickness and cut into 3×3-inch rectangles or squares.
Step 2: Assemble the Sandwiches
1. Spread a generous layer of marshmallow cream on half of the dough pieces.
2. Top the marshmallow layer with chocolate chips or chocolate spread, then sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.
3. Place another piece of dough on top to form a sandwich, pressing the edges together to seal.
Step 3: Fry the Sandwiches
1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
2. Carefully place the sandwiches in the hot oil, frying a few at a time.
3. Fry for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
4. Remove the sandwiches from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain.
Step 4: Add the Toppings
1. While still warm, sprinkle the sandwiches with powdered sugar.
2. Drizzle with chocolate syrup for an extra touch of indulgence.
Step 5: Serve
1. Stack the sandwiches on a serving plate for a stunning presentation.
2. Serve warm to enjoy the gooey, chocolatey filling in every bite.
Tips
• Seal Well: Ensure the edges of the dough are tightly sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during frying.
• Monitor Oil Temperature: Maintain consistent heat for even frying and to avoid oil absorption.
• Extra Crunch: Add crushed graham crackers to the topping for added texture.
Storage Options
• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven at 350°F (175°C) to regain crispness.
• Freezer: Not recommended, as the texture may change upon thawing.
S’mores Fried Dough Sandwiches bring a fun, creative twist to a classic treat, making them a must-try for dessert enthusiasts of all ages. Enjoy the gooey, crispy, chocolatey goodness in every bite!
