-
Lightning Fast: Ready from start to finish in under 5 minutes.
-
Even Toasting: The circulating convection heat of the air fryer toasts marshmallows uniformly without open flames or burnt patches.
-
Less Mess: Contained entirely in the air fryer basket, leaving your kitchen spotless.
Equipment Needed
-
Air Fryer (Basket or oven style)
-
Parchment paper (Optional, for easy cleanup)
-
Kitchen tongs (For safe removal)
Ingredients
-
Graham Crackers: 4 full rectangles (broken in half to make 8 squares)
-
Marshmallows: 4 large regular marshmallows
-
Chocolate Bars: 4 squares of your favorite milk chocolate or dark chocolate
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
-
Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for about 2 to 3 minutes to ensure it is hot and ready for quick cooking.
-
Cut a small piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of your air fryer basket if your model tends to let things stick, though placing them directly on the basket or tray works well too.
Step 2: Build the Base
-
Break your graham cracker rectangles in half to create square pieces.
-
Lay down 4 graham cracker squares on a clean surface or directly onto your air fryer tray.
-
Place one square of chocolate directly onto each of the 4 graham cracker bases.
Step 3: Add the Marshmallows
-
Place one large marshmallow on top of the chocolate square on each assembly.
-
Note: Do not put the top graham cracker on yet; you want the air fryer heat to hit the marshmallow directly so it toasts and melts properly.
Step 4: Air Fry to Perfection
-
Carefully transfer the s’mores bases (graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow) into the preheated air fryer basket.
-
Cook at 390°F (200°C) for 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Watch closely during the last minute! Air fryers cook fast, and marshmallow sizes vary. You want a golden-brown, toasted exterior and a meltingly soft center without the marshmallow blowing around from the fan.
Step 5: Assemble and Serve
-
Using tongs, carefully remove the hot s’mores bases from the air fryer.
-
Immediately press the remaining 4 graham cracker squares on top of the toasted marshmallows, pressing down gently to sandwich the melted chocolate and marshmallow together.
-
Let cool for 1 minute (the filling will be extremely hot) before diving in and enjoying!
Pro Tips for Success
-
Secure the Marshmallow: If your air fryer fan is exceptionally strong and tends to blow light items around, gently press the marshmallow down onto the chocolate square so it sticks securely before cooking.
-
Choose Your Chocolate: Traditional milk chocolate melts the smoothest, but dark chocolate or flavored chocolate bars (like caramel-filled or sea salt squares) elevate this simple recipe to gourmet status.
-
Don’t Overcrowd: Depending on the size of your air fryer basket, make sure to cook these in batches if you are making them for a crowd. Leave space between each s’more for optimal heat circulation.
