Instructions

In a small bowl, warm milk to about 110°F (43°C). Sprinkle yeast over the milk and 1 tbsp sugar, stir gently, and let sit 10 minutes until foamy.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine flour, remaining sugar, salt, vanilla bean paste, and melted butter.
Add the yeast mixture and eggs to the flour mixture. Knead on medium speed for 8-10 minutes until a smooth, elastic, and slightly sticky dough forms.
Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 90 minutes.
After rising, punch down the dough and transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
Heat neutral oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare a shallow bowl with cinnamon sugar by mixing granulated sugar and ground cinnamon; prepare another with crushed graham cracker crumbs.
Pipe 4-5 inch strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting with scissors. Fry in batches without overcrowding, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Drain churros on paper towels briefly. While warm, roll each churro first in cinnamon sugar, then in crushed graham cracker crumbs.
Let churros cool slightly to handle, then fill each churro with toasted marshmallow cream using a piping bag fitted with a small tip.
Arrange churros on a serving platter and drizzle generously with chocolate sauce.
Serve immediately while warm.

Tips

To toast marshmallow cream, spread it on a baking sheet and broil briefly until lightly browned, then cool before filling churros.
Using vanilla bean paste instead of extract intensifies the vanilla flavor and complements the s'mores profile.
