How to Make Deep Fried Marshmallows

To create these scrumptious snacks, you will need a few basic ingredients and follow a simple process.

Ingredients:

20 pieces Jumbo Marshmallows
1 cup Pancake Mix
1 Large Egg
3/4 cup Milk
2 to 3 cups Vegetable Oil (for deep frying)
Whipped Cream (for serving, optional)
Chocolate Syrup (for serving, optional)
Sprinkles (for serving, optional)

Directions:

Preheat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit in a deep pot.
In a bowl, mix the pancake mix, egg, milk, and a bit of oil until smooth to prepare the batter.
Dip each marshmallow into the batter, ensuring it’s evenly coated, then shake off any excess.
Place the coated marshmallows in the hot oil and fry for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, turning occasionally, until golden brown.
Remove the marshmallows with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and serve warm topped with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and sprinkles if desired.

How to Serve Deep Fried Marshmallows

Serve your Deep Fried Marshmallows while they’re warm for the best experience. You can pile them on a plate and drizzle them with chocolate syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, or sprinkle them with colorful sprinkles. They also make great snacks at movie nights or fun gatherings with friends!

How to Store Deep Fried Marshmallows

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. However, keep in mind that they are best enjoyed fresh out of the fryer. If you need to save them longer, you can freeze the uncooked coated marshmallows in a single layer. Just fry them straight from the freezer when you’re ready!

Tips to Make Deep Fried Marshmallows

Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying; this will help the marshmallows cook quickly and become crispy.
Don’t overcrowd the pot while frying; fry in batches to ensure even cooking.
Experiment with different batters! You could use cake mix or add flavors to the batter for a fun twist.

Variation

You can try using flavored marshmallows, like strawberry or chocolate, for an extra surprise in every bite! You can also incorporate crushed cookies or nuts into the batter or toppings for additional flavor and texture.
