Ingredients for Nutella S’mores Samosas
Gathering your ingredients is the first step to creating these delightful little samosas. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Wonton wrappers: These are perfect for creating the crispy outer shell. You can find them in the refrigerated section of your grocery store.
- Nutella Chocolate Spread: The star of this recipe! This creamy hazelnut chocolate spread brings a luscious richness and a flavor that children and adults alike adore.
- Graham crackers: Finely crushed, these provide that essential s’mores taste while adding a hint of sweetness and crunch. Don’t have graham crackers? Simple crushed cookies, like digestive biscuits, could work as a substitute!
- Marshmallow fluff: This gooey delight is drizzled atop the samosas, mimicking the classic s’mores experience. It also adds a lovely creaminess that’ll have everyone reaching for more!
- Chocolate syrup: For those moments when you want to take it over the top, this silky drizzle adds additional chocolatey goodness. Feel free to use dark or milk chocolate depending on your taste!
- Vegetable oil: Heating this for frying gives your samosas that addictive crunch. You can use oils with a higher smoke point, like canola or peanut oil, if you prefer.

How to Make Nutella S’mores Samosas
Now, let’s dive into the fun part—making these delightful Nutella S’mores Samosas! Follow these steps to create something your family will absolutely love. It’s easy, quick, and oh-so-rewarding!
Preparing the Oil
Start by heating about two inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. It’s important to ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve that satisfying crunch.
To test the temperature, drop a small piece of a wonton wrapper in the oil. If it sizzles and bubbles up around it, you’re ready to go! Always keep an eye on the oil—burnt oil is definitely not the kind of flavor we’re after here!
Assembling the Samosas
Now for the fun part—assembling our little pockets of joy! Take a wonton wrapper and place it on a clean surface. Using your finger, dip it in a shallow bowl of water and wet the edges of the wrapper. This will help them seal tightly when folded.
Next, grab your piping bag filled with Nutella. Pipe a generous amount of Nutella onto one half of the wrapper, leaving some space at the edges. Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the Nutella for that classic s’mores flavor. Now, fold the wrapper in half to create a triangle. Gently press the seams together to seal in all that deliciousness. Repeat this until all your wrappers are filled!
Frying the Samosas
With the oil hot and your samosas ready, it’s time to fry! Carefully place a few samosas in the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about one minute on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
Once they’re perfectly fried, remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels. This lets excess oil escape, keeping your samosas light and crispy!
Drizzling Toppings
Now comes the best part! Heat the marshmallow fluff in the microwave for about five seconds until it’s warm and easier to drizzle. Pour it into a sandwich bag, snip a tiny corner, and get ready to fancy up your samosas!
Grab your slightly cooled samosas and drizzle the marshmallow fluff and chocolate syrup on top. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle any remaining graham cracker crumbs over them. This final flourish makes your Nutella S’mores Samosas look as delightful as they taste!
Tips for Success
- Ensure the oil is at the right temperature before frying to achieve that crispy texture.
- Don’t overfill your wrappers with Nutella! A small amount keeps your samosas from bursting.
- For easier sealing, use your finger to dampen the edges of the wrappers with water.
- Fry in small batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
- Feel free to experiment with toppings; crushed nuts or flavored sauces add a unique twist!
Equipment Needed
- Deep pan or fryer: Any large pot will work for frying, just ensure it has high sides to prevent splatter.
- Slotted spoon: This handy tool helps you easily remove samosas from the hot oil.
- Piping bag: If you don’t have one, a resealable sandwich bag with a snipped corner does the trick!
- Cooking thermometer: Optional, but great for ensuring your oil is at the perfect temperature.
Variations of Nutella S’mores Samosas
- Nutella and Peanut Butter: For those who adore the combination of chocolate and peanut butter, add a dollop of creamy peanut butter with the Nutella for a nutty twist!
- Fruit-Filled Samosas: Swap out Nutella for a fruit spread, like strawberry or raspberry, for a refreshing fruity version that satisfies your sweet tooth without the chocolate.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free wonton wrappers to make these tasty treats suitable for those avoiding gluten. They still taste just as delicious!
- Nut-Free Alternative: If you’re looking for a nut-free variation, use a rich chocolate spread that’s safe for those with nut allergies, ensuring everyone can enjoy them!
- Minty Delight: Add a few drops of peppermint extract to your Nutella before filling the wrappers for a refreshing minty flavor!
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with Ice Cream: A scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream on the side complements these warm, crispy samosas perfectly.
- Garnish with Fresh Berries: Raspberries or strawberries not only add color but also a refreshing contrast to the sweetness.
- Serve with Hot Chocolate: For a cozy touch, offer a mug of hot cocoa as an indulgent dipping option.
- Presentation: Arrange the samosas on a platter, drizzled with syrup, and dusted with powdered sugar for a delightful display!
