Ingredients (Makes 8–10 Ravioli)

  • 8–10 large marshmallows
  • 4–6 chocolate squares (milk, semi-sweet, or dark)
  • 8–10 wonton wrappers or fresh pasta squares
  • 1 cup finely crushed graham crackers
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Vegetable oil (for deep frying)
  • Warm chocolate sauce (for dipping)

Optional toppings:

  • Powdered sugar
  • Melted chocolate drizzle
  • Caramel sauce
  • Crushed nuts
  • Vanilla ice cream

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

Unwrap your marshmallows and cut your chocolate into small, manageable pieces if needed. The goal is to have just enough filling for a gooey center without overstuffing the ravioli.

Place one marshmallow and one piece of chocolate in the center of each wonton wrapper.

Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg. This helps seal the ravioli securely during frying.

Fold the wrapper over to create a square or triangle shape. Press firmly around the filling to remove any air pockets. Seal the edges tightly, then crimp with a fork for extra security and decorative texture.

Tip: Make sure the edges are completely sealed to prevent filling from leaking into the oil.

Step 2: Coat with Graham Crackers

Dip each sealed ravioli lightly into the beaten egg.

Roll it in the crushed graham crackers, pressing gently to ensure an even coating on all sides. This step gives the ravioli its signature s’mores flavor and adds a delicious crunchy texture once fried.

Place coated ravioli on a tray while heating the oil.

For best results, chill the ravioli in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before frying. This helps prevent the marshmallow from bursting out too quickly.

Step 3: Heat the Oil

Pour vegetable oil into a deep pan or heavy-bottomed pot, filling it about 2–3 inches deep.

Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to maintain the correct temperature.

If the oil is too hot, the ravioli will brown too quickly and burn.
If too cool, they’ll absorb excess oil and become greasy.

Maintaining proper temperature is key to achieving crispy, golden perfection.

Step 4: Fry Until Golden and Crispy

Carefully place 2–3 ravioli at a time into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.

Fry for approximately 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.

Turn gently using a slotted spoon or tongs.

Once done, remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Repeat with remaining ravioli.

Step 5: Serve Warm and Gooey

Serve immediately while the centers are warm and melted.

Dust with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish and serve alongside warm chocolate dipping sauce.

For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle with caramel or melted chocolate.

If you really want to elevate this dessert, pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The contrast between hot, crispy ravioli and cold ice cream is pure dessert magic.

Pro Tips for Perfect S’mores Ravioli

  • Use thick, sturdy wonton wrappers to prevent tearing.
  • Do not overfill — too much chocolate can cause leaks.
  • Chill before frying to minimize bursting.
  • Fry in small batches to keep oil temperature steady.
  • Serve immediately for maximum gooey texture.

Storage and Reheating

These are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

To reheat:

  • Use an oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes.
  • Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soft and soggy.
