Key Ingredients
There are just a few simple components that make these s’mores irresistible. Use quality ingredients for the best results.
- Marshmallows – large marshmallows work best for gooey texture.
- Chocolate – use your favorite chocolate squares; Hershey’s Symphony works well.
How To Make Air Fryer S’mores
Follow these simple steps and tips for perfectly toasted marshmallows and melty chocolate every time. Keep an eye on your air fryer, since models vary.
- Split a graham cracker rectangle in half. Place a chocolate square on one half and set it aside.
- Place the other graham cracker half in the air fryer basket and top it with a marshmallow. Space items evenly.
- Air fry at 390°F for about 3–4 minutes, or until marshmallows reach your desired level of toastiness. They will expand as they heat—watch closely.
- Remove the toasted marshmallow and place the chocolate-topped graham cracker on top to form a sandwich.
Optional: If you prefer the chocolate extra melty, pop the chocolate-topped graham cracker in the air fryer for 10–20 seconds—watch it closely, it melts fast.
Method 2
- For an alternative, place marshmallows alone in the air fryer basket so they toast without the graham cracker below.
- After 3–4 minutes, roll the toasted marshmallow onto a graham cracker and top with the chocolate square.
Hint: Air fryers vary in power. We recommend checking marshmallows after 30 seconds the first time you try this and adjusting time as needed.
Top Tip
Light items can shift in the air fryer. To keep marshmallows from moving, check and reposition after 30 seconds, or gently secure them with a toothpick anchored in the graham cracker (remove the toothpick before eating).

Notes

Storing S’mores in the Air Fryer
Assembled s’mores don’t store well—enjoy them fresh for the best texture and flavor. Keep any unused marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers stored separately in airtight containers to maintain freshness until next time.
