Step 1: Prepare Hot Oil
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot until it reaches the perfect frying temperature of 375°F. Ensure the oil is evenly heated and ready for crispy marshmallow magic.
Step 2: Whip Up Delicious Batter
In a medium bowl, combine pancake mix, water, and a splash of vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture becomes smooth and free of lumps, creating a silky batter that will give your marshmallows a crispy coating.
Step 3: Create Crunchy Coating Station
Pour graham cracker crumbs into a shallow bowl, preparing a delightful coating that will add texture and flavor to your marshmallows.
Step 4: Dunk and Cover Marshmallows
Dive each marshmallow into the prepared batter, making sure every inch is completely covered in the delectable mixture.
Step 5: Roll in Graham Cracker Goodness
Gently roll the batter-coated marshmallow in the graham cracker crumbs, ensuring an even and generous coating that will create a satisfying crunch.
Step 6: Fry to Golden Perfection
Carefully lower the coated marshmallow into the hot oil.
Fry for 30-60 seconds, watching for a beautiful golden-brown color that signals crispy deliciousness is ready.
Step 7: Drain and Cool
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried marshmallow from the oil.
Place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and cool slightly.
Step 8: Repeat the Delicious Process
Continue frying the remaining marshmallows, repeating the battering, coating, and frying process until all are transformed into crispy, golden treats.

Storing Deep Fried Marshmallows Correctly
Place cooled deep fried marshmallows in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.
Wrap individual marshmallows in plastic wrap, then store in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for maximum 1 month to maintain crispy texture and flavor.
Preheat oven to 350F, arrange marshmallows on a baking sheet, and warm for 3-4 minutes until crispy and heated through. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Set air fryer to 320F, place marshmallows in a single layer, and heat for 2-3 minutes until warm and crisp, ensuring they don’t melt completely.
FAQs
Yes, you can use regular, jumbo, or even flavored marshmallows. Just ensure they are firm and hold their shape during frying.
Freezing marshmallows for about 15-30 minutes before coating helps them maintain their shape and prevents them from melting too quickly in hot oil.
If a marshmallow begins to leak, remove it immediately from the oil. Using frozen marshmallows and ensuring a thick, even batter coating can help prevent this issue.

Instructions
- Prepare the oil in a deep fryer or large pot, heating to 375F (190C) for optimal frying temperature.
- Create a smooth batter by blending pancake mix, water, and vanilla extract in a medium mixing bowl until fully incorporated.

Notes
- Prevent batter from sliding off by patting marshmallows dry before coating, ensuring a crisp and even outer layer.
- Create flavor variations by using different extract types like almond or coconut in the batter for unique taste profiles.
- Opt for large marshmallows to get a better texture contrast between the crispy exterior and gooey interior.
- Keep oil temperature consistent at 375F to avoid burning or undercooking the marshmallow treats.
