storage/reheating
Fried s’mores bombs are best enjoyed fresh while warm and gooey. However, you can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–6 minutes or in an air fryer to regain crispness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the dough soggy and the filling unevenly heated.
FAQs
Can I use crescent roll dough instead of biscuit dough?
Yes, either option works well. Crescent dough yields a flakier texture, while biscuit dough is denser and more buttery.
How do I keep the filling from leaking out?
Make sure to seal the edges tightly using the beaten egg and pinch the seams securely. Freezing the assembled bombs for 10 minutes before frying can also help.
Can I bake these instead of frying?
Yes, bake at 375°F for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown. The texture will be slightly different but still delicious.
What type of chocolate works best?
Hershey’s milk chocolate is classic, but dark chocolate, white chocolate, or chocolate chips all work well.
Can I freeze them before frying?
Yes. Assemble and freeze the uncooked bombs on a tray, then transfer to a bag for longer storage. Fry directly from frozen, adding 10–15 seconds to cooking time.
Are these safe for kids to help make?
Yes, kids can help with assembling and sealing, but leave the frying to adults for safety.
Can I prepare them in advance?
You can assemble the bombs a few hours in advance and store them in the fridge until ready to fry.
What dipping sauces go well with these?
Chocolate sauce, marshmallow fluff, caramel sauce, or even raspberry jam are great pairings.
How do I crush graham crackers easily?
Use a food processor or place crackers in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
What’s the best oil for frying?
Vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil are good choices for high-heat frying.
