Ingredients
- Bisquick Baking Mix – Whisk ingredients together according to the package instructions.

Once the funnel cakes have finished frying, top them with chocolate and marshmallows before baking.
How To Make S’mores Funnel Cake
- Pour approximately 1 inch of oil into a large, heavy bottom pot.
- Heat the oil to 355 degrees F.
- Combine the Bisquick mix, eggs, milk and vanilla extract in a bowl and mix together.
- Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle, using a funnel if you’ve got one on hand. Or use a cup to pour the batter into the hot oil but you’ll have to control how much batter comes out of the cup in order to get the right shape for the funnel cakes.
- Squeeze or pour the batter into the hot oil making a circle shape first then drizzle from side to side to create that classic funnel cake design.
- Fry for 30-45 seconds on each side or until golden.
- Immediately transfer to a cooling rack or plate and finish frying the rest of the funnel cakes. You’ll need to add more oil to the pot as needed since the cakes absorb it.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Top each funnel cake with chocolate and marshmallows then transfer to a baking sheet.
- Bake at 300 degrees F for 4 minutes and broil for the last 45 seconds to 1 minute to give the marshmallows some color.
- Remove from the oven and top with crushed graham crackers and some powdered sugar. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Heat The Oil
Each time you add more oil to the pot due to the s’mores funnel cake absorbing most of it, make sure to heat it back up to 355 degrees F. A best practice is to use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the oil. If the oil is not hot enough, it may result in soggy funnel cakes.
Recipe Notes
- Either chocolate bars or chocolate chips will work for this recipe.
- Use a candy thermometer to measure the oil temperature before frying to ensure it reaches 355 degrees F.
- Use a squeeze bottle to drizzle the batter into the oil.
