We took all the fun of s’mores but upped the ante by stuffing them inside dumpling wrappers, swapping the chocolate for Nutella, deep frying them and dunking them in marshmallow fluff.

Remember when me and Joanne got together earlier this year for Dumplingpalooza? It probably comes as no surprise that during our brainstorm sessions, the two of us developed the dessert recipe first.

Duh.

S’mores are always a fun dessert, and my family loves making them with Nutella instead of chocolate bars. It just adds a layer of richness that goes so well with the marshmallow and graham crackers. YUM.

So for these dumplings, we filled the wrappers with Nutella and deep-fried them.

When they come out of the oil, they get a dusting of graham cracker crumbs that have been laced with cinnamon and sugar.

And lest you think we forgot about the marshmallows, we served these beauties up with bowls of fluff for dipping.

Oh yes we did.

This is a super fun way to enjoy s’mores without the campfire!

This was a sweet, crispy way to end our dumpling-making evening.

Deep Fried Nutella S’mores Dumplings

Scale

Ingredients

Peanut oil, for deep frying
Nutella
Dumpling wrappers
9 full graham cracker sheets, finely crushed
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Marshmallow fluff

Instructions

Prepare oil and assemble dumplings: Heat several inches of peanut oil in a large, deep pot (preferably cast iron) to 325°F. While the oil is coming up to temperature, get a small bowl of water ready. Scoop a heaping teaspoon of the Nutella into a dumpling wrapper. Dip a finger in the water and run it around the perimeter of the dumpling wrapper. Fold it in half and press the edges firmly to seal around the filling. Set on a tray and repeat with remaining dumpling wrappers until you run out of wrappers or filling.
Deep-fry dumplings: Once the dumplings are ready and the oil has reached 325°F, carefully place 6 dumplings in the oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, flipping occasionally with a spider or metal tongs. Remove dumplings to a paper towel-lined tray that has been topped with a metal cooling rack. In a small bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the dumplings while still warm. Repeat with remaining dumplings. Serve warm with the marshmallow fluff to dip in.
