Ingredients
- Waffle Fries: 1 pound (frozen, preferably crinkle-cut for extra texture)
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: 1 cup (or milk chocolate for sweeter flavor)
- Mini Marshmallows: 2 cups
- Graham Crackers: 4–5 sheets, crushed into crumbs
- Butter: 2 tablespoons (for melting with chocolate, optional)
- Heavy Cream: 1/4 cup (for chocolate ganache, optional)
- Sea Salt: A pinch (optional, for a sweet-salty balance)
Equipment
- Oven or air fryer
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl
- Spatula or spoon
Instructions
- Cook the Fries:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) or follow the package instructions for air fryer.
- Spread waffle fries in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes (or air fry for 10–15 minutes) until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through. Set aside.
- Prepare Chocolate Sauce:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine chocolate chips, butter, and heavy cream (if using). Stir until smooth to create a ganache. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted.
- Keep warm but not boiling.
- Assemble the Fries:
- Arrange cooked fries on a large, oven-safe platter or baking sheet.
- Drizzle half of the melted chocolate sauce evenly over the fries.
- Sprinkle mini marshmallows across the top, ensuring even distribution.
- Toast the Marshmallows:
- Set oven to broil (or use a kitchen torch if available).
- Place the platter under the broiler for 1–2 minutes, watching closely, until marshmallows are golden and slightly toasted. Remove immediately to avoid burning.
- Add Final Touches:
- Drizzle the remaining chocolate sauce over the toasted marshmallows.
- Sprinkle crushed graham crackers generously over the top.
- Add a pinch of sea salt if desired for a sweet-salty contrast.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately while warm, using forks or fingers to enjoy the gooey, crispy combination.
- Optional: Provide extra chocolate sauce or marshmallow fluff for dipping.
Tips
- Make Ahead: Cook fries and prepare chocolate sauce in advance. Assemble and broil just before serving to keep marshmallows fresh.
- Variations: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon, crushed nuts, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra flair.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day, but texture may soften. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes.
