Ingredients You’ll Need
Each ingredient in Air Fryer S’Mores is a deliberate choice—the perfect trio that comes together for irresistibly gooey bites. The beauty here is in the simplicity: quality ingredients really make all the difference, so grab your favorites and get ready to indulge!
- Graham cracker squares: These offer that classic crispiness and a toasty, honeyed flavor that forms the foundation of every great s’more.
- Hershey’s Milk Chocolate bars: The melt-in-your-mouth richness of milk chocolate amps up the sweetness and creates that trademark creamy layer.
- Large marshmallows: The crowning glory! Big, pillowy marshmallows are essential for that perfect, puffy melt and golden top.
How to Make Air Fryer S’Mores
Step 1: Preheat Your Air Fryer
Get started by preheating your Air Fryer to 370°F (188°C). If your model offers it, use the “Air Fry” or “Bake” setting for optimal results. Set your timer for 3 minutes, so it’s hot and ready for your s’mores assembly.
Step 2: Set Up the Tray
Place your Air Fryer tray on top of a baking tray. This not only makes it easier to maneuver in and out of the cooking chamber, but it also catches any gooey spills and keeps your kitchen a mess-free zone.
Step 3: Assemble the S’mores
Lay out 4 graham cracker squares on the Air Fryer tray, making sure there’s a little space between each cracker. This allows them to cook evenly and prevents any marshmallow or chocolate from merging into a single, super-s’more (unless that’s your thing!).
Step 4: Add the Chocolate and Marshmallows
Break the chocolate bars in half and top each graham cracker with a piece. Then, center a big marshmallow on top of the chocolate for that delightful layer effect.
Step 5: Cook in the Air Fryer
Carefully slide the tray into the middle of your Air Fryer, positioning it close to the rotisserie catch if your machine has one. Air fry for 2 to 3 minutes. You’ll want to watch for lightly toasted, golden marshmallows and slightly softened chocolate—this is when that magic gooeyness happens.
Step 6: Build Your S’mores
Once done, remove the tray and, while everything is still gloriously warm, cap each marshmallow with another graham cracker square. Gently press to squish everything together just enough—this is the part where sticky fingers are mandatory!
Step 7: Enjoy!
Dig in right away. Savor every gooey, chocolatey, crackly bite. Air Fryer S’Mores are at their peak warm and fresh, but don’t worry if you can’t eat them all immediately—we’ll get to storage soon.
How to Serve Air Fryer S’Mores
Garnishes
While these Air Fryer S’Mores are perfection as-is, you can jazz them up with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce, or even a pinch of flaky sea salt to balance out the sweetness. For an extra-indulgent presentation, a few fresh berries on the side add lovely color—and a tart contrast to all that creamy chocolate.
Side Dishes
If you’re thinking of making these part of a larger dessert spread, pair Air Fryer S’Mores with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a fresh fruit salad. Their rich sweetness also goes great with salty snacks like pretzels or popcorn—perfect for movie night with friends!
Creative Ways to Present
Bring the wow factor by stacking s’mores on a rustic wooden platter, garnished with extra bits of chocolate and marshmallow. For parties, set up a DIY Air Fryer S’Mores bar with assorted chocolates—dark, white, or peanut butter cups—and let everyone customize their own. Or, cut each s’more into neat halves or triangles and spear them with cocktail picks for a fun, bite-sized dessert tray.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you somehow manage to have leftovers, Air Fryer S’Mores can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or in the fridge for two days. Just know that the crackers will soften over time from the marshmallow’s moisture, but the flavors will still be deliciously indulgent.
Freezing
Though they’re best fresh, you can freeze s’mores by wrapping them individually in plastic wrap, then tucking them into a freezer-safe bag. Pop them in the freezer for up to a month. Keep in mind the texture of the crackers and marshmallow will soften slightly, but their taste will still transport you straight to campfire heaven!
Reheating
To revive that melty goodness, reheat Air Fryer S’Mores in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds—just enough to warm the marshmallow and chocolate. You can also pop them back into the Air Fryer for 1–2 minutes at 350°F to crisp up the crackers and re-melt the insides.
FAQs
Can I use different chocolate or add-ins?
Absolutely! Try swapping classic milk chocolate with dark, white, or even a peanut butter cup. Add a slice of banana, a smear of nut butter, or a sprinkle of coconut for your own spin on Air Fryer S’Mores.
How do I prevent the marshmallows from flying around in the Air Fryer?
To keep marshmallows in place, lightly press them into the melted chocolate or use a toothpick to anchor them until they puff up. The gentle pressure of the top cracker also helps once assembled.
Can I double this recipe for a crowd?
Definitely! Simply assemble more s’mores in batches, ensuring they’re arranged in a single layer in the Air Fryer so each one melts and toasts evenly. If serving a big group, keep the cooked s’mores warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
What’s the best way to cut large marshmallows if I don’t have jumbo-sized ones?
If your marshmallows aren’t quite as big as you’d like, stack two regular ones, or snip large marshmallows in half so they don’t roll off the crackers. The key is making sure each s’more has that satisfying, gooey center.
Can I make Air Fryer S’Mores gluten-free?
Yes! Swap in your favorite brand of gluten-free graham crackers and double-check your chocolate labels. The rest of the process remains exactly the same, so everyone can join in on the fun.
Final Thoughts
There’s no reason to wait for a camping trip to chase those nostalgic, chocolate-marshmallow dreams—Air Fryer S’Mores are just minutes away from your next sweet escape. Quick, simple, and endlessly adaptable, these treats are pure happiness between two crackers! Go ahead and treat yourself, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself making round two before you know it.
