Off the Beaten Plate: Deep Fried S’mores at Tad’s Pizzeria

Deep-fried s'mores at Tad's Pizzeria, 1410 Kasold Drive.

It’s true; anything can be deep fried these days. At Tad’s Pizzeria, one of their dessert offerings is deep-fried s’mores, or three large cookie pouches of chocolate and marshmallow. The graham-cracker coating resembling a toasted ravioli is crispy around the edges but soft in the center.

This is a less messy version of the traditional s’more, but once broken through the outside, the warm, swirly chocolate and marshmallow insides will likely coat your fingertips.
