I’m breaking the rules and deep-frying marshmallows! Watch and see if I make an ooey-gooey mess or a new hit.

Deep Fried Marshmallows
Makes 12 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups finely crushed graham crackers
• 12 (2-inch) hand-crafted or homemade marshmallows
• 3 egg whites, lightly beaten
• Vegetable oil
• Chocolate sauce, warmed

Preparation:

1. Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches into a Dutch oven; heat over medium heat to 400°. Toss marshmallows with egg whites in a large bowl, coating on all sides. Dredge each marshmallow in crushed graham crackers, coating on all sides.

2. Fry marshmallows, one at a time, moving around constantly with a large metal slotted spoon, 5 to 10 seconds or until coating is crisp and marshmallow shape remains intact. Drain on a wire rack over paper towels. Drizzle with chocolate sauce.
