S’mores Egg Rolls Ingredients

• Hershey’s Chocolate Bars – Offer rich chocolate flavor; feel free to swap with milk chocolate or dark chocolate for a unique taste.
• Graham Crackers (crushed) – Contribute the signature graham cracker taste; use gluten-free crackers if desired for a gluten-free option.

• Vegetable Oil (for frying) – Essential for frying the egg rolls; any neutral oil like canola can be used instead.
For the Coating
• Cinnamon-Sugar – Adds an extra layer of sweetness; a plain coating or powdered sugar can be used instead for a lighter option.
For Dipping (optional)

How to Make S’mores Egg Rolls
-
Prepare Filling: Chop your Hershey’s chocolate bars into small pieces. In a large bowl, combine the chopped chocolate with the crushed graham crackers and marshmallows, mixing well until everything is coated evenly.
-
Fill Wrappers: Take an egg roll wrapper and place a generous spoonful of the chocolate filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly, sealing the edges with a little water.
-
Heat Oil: In a deep frying pan, pour in enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom and heat over medium-high until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You’ll know it’s ready when small bubbles start to form.
-
Fry Egg Rolls: Carefully place the filled egg rolls into the hot oil, cooking them in batches. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Use tongs to flip them for even cooking.
-
Coat & Serve: Once fried, remove the egg rolls and let them drain on paper towels. While they are still warm, roll them in cinnamon-sugar for an extra delicious touch. Serve immediately, optionally with melted chocolate for dipping.
Optional: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast!

Expert Tips for S’mores Egg Rolls
• Oil Temperature Check: Ensure your oil is at 350°F (175°C) before frying; if it’s too cool, the egg rolls will absorb oil and become soggy.
• Filling Amount: Avoid overfilling the egg rolls to prevent bursting during frying. A generous tablespoon of filling is just right!
• Egg Roll Sealing: Use water to seal the edges of the wrappers well; this keeps the filling inside and makes for a beautiful seam.
• Batch Frying: Fry the egg rolls in small batches, allowing space for even cooking and crispy results on every side.
• Creative Dips: Experiment with different dip options besides melted chocolate; caramel sauce or peanut butter can add a fun twist to your S’mores Egg Rolls.
Storage Tips for S’mores Egg Rolls
Room Temperature: Enjoy freshly fried S’mores Egg Rolls warm for the best flavor and texture. If kept at room temperature, they last up to 2 hours before losing crispiness.
Fridge: Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to restore their crunch.
Freezer: For longer storage, freeze the egg rolls before frying. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. They can stay frozen for up to 3 months. Fry them straight from the freezer without thawing for about 4-5 minutes.
Reheating: When reheating after freezing, ensure that the oil reaches 350°F (175°C) for even cooking and to prevent sogginess when you enjoy your S’mores Egg Rolls.
S’mores Egg Rolls Recipe FAQs
What type of chocolate is best for S’mores Egg Rolls?
Absolutely! While Hershey’s chocolate bars provide that classic flavor, you can use any chocolate you adore, such as milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even a nutty spread like Nutella for a delicious twist.
How should I store leftover S’mores Egg Rolls?
You can store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend reheating them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to restore their crispy texture. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
Can I freeze S’mores Egg Rolls?
Yes! To freeze, wrap the uncooked egg rolls tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. They can stay frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, simply fry them straight from the freezer for about 4-5 minutes until they are golden and crispy. No need to thaw!
What if my egg rolls burst while frying?
Very! If you notice some egg rolls bursting during frying, it could be due to overfilling. Make sure to use a generous tablespoon of filling and seal the edges well with water. This practice keeps the gooey goodness inside and prevents spills.
Are there any dietary considerations with S’mores Egg Rolls?
For those with dietary restrictions, you can easily customize your S’mores Egg Rolls to accommodate gluten-free diets by using gluten-free graham crackers. Always check the labels for hidden allergens in the chocolate or fillings, especially if serving to guests with allergies.
How ripe should my ingredients be for optimal flavor?
Using fresh ingredients is key! Choose chocolate that is not old or crumbly, and make sure your marshmallows are soft and gooey. If you’re adding bananas or any other fruits, they should be at perfect ripeness—not too firm or overripe, for the best flavor experience.
