Melty chocolate, gooey marshmallow, and crisp graham crackers — all done quickly and safely in your air fryer. Perfect for a cozy dessert night, even indoors.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- All the classic s’mores flavor — chocolate, gooey marshmallow, crunchy crackers — without needing a campfire
- Fast and easy: ready in ~5–7 minutes
- Great for small portions or sharing (2–4 s’mores at a time)
- Minimal cleanup and no risk of open flame or fire hazards
- Fun and comforting — perfect for movie nights, sleepovers, or sweet cravings
Ingredients
- 4 graham cracker sheets (or graham-style crackers), broken in half — total ~8 “sandwich halves”
- 4 large marshmallows (regular or jumbo — if jumbo, use 2 halves per s’more)
- 4 pieces of chocolate (milk, dark, or chocolate bars cut to fit cracker size) — about 1 oz (30 g) chocolate total
- Optional: a few extra mini marshmallows or chocolate chips for extra gooeyness
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer (Optional but ideal)
- Preheat your air fryer to 350 °F (175 °C) for about 3 minutes. This helps ensure even melting and crisping.
- Build Your S’mores Stack (Open-Face First)
- On a clean, heat-safe plate or parchment sheet: place 4 graham cracker halves (bottom halves).
- On each cracker half, place a piece of chocolate.
- Top each chocolate with a marshmallow (or 2 marshmallow halves if using jumbo).
- Air Fry — Top Only
- Carefully transfer the plate (or parchment) with the open-faced s’mores into the air fryer basket or tray.
- Air fry at 350 °F (175 °C) for 2–3 minutes, watching closely. You want the marshmallow to puff up and get golden — not burn.
- Assemble & Serve
- Using tongs or a spatula, carefully remove the hot bottom halves from the air fryer. They will be hot and the marshmallows will be soft and melty.
- Immediately place the remaining graham cracker halves on top to form a sandwich. Gently press so chocolate melts and marshmallow oozes slightly.
- Serve warm — best enjoyed fresh for that gooey texture.
You Must Know
- Stay close — marshmallows brown quickly; watch carefully so they don’t burn.
- Use heat-safe parchment or a small oven-safe dish if your air fryer tray has big holes — to prevent drips or spills.
- Serve immediately; if you wait too long, marshmallow cools and firms up, losing the gooey effect.
Pro Tips
- For extra gooeyness, add a few mini marshmallows or chocolate chips on top of the initial chocolate before air frying.
- Try using dark chocolate for a richer flavor, or a flavored chocolate (mint, caramel) for variety.
- Add a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet-salt contrast.
- Use “graham-style” cookies if graham crackers aren’t available — slightly sweeter but still delicious.
- For a fun twist: add a thin slice of banana or peanut butter spread before topping with the upper cracker.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Graham crackers: Digestive biscuits, tea biscuits, or any lightly sweet cookie that crisps.
- Chocolate: Milk, dark, semi-sweet, or even white chocolate — adjust based on sweetness preference.
- Marshmallows: Use mini marshmallows layered (2–3 per s’more) if you don’t have large ones.
- Add-ons: Sliced banana, peanut butter, caramel drizzle, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for flavor variation.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a cold glass of milk or a warm mug of hot chocolate
- Share with friends or family — make a platter of 4–6 s’mores and enjoy together
- Use as a quick dessert after dinner or a treat during snacks or movie nights
Frequently Asked Questions
→ Can I make more than 4 at once?
Yes — depending on the size of your air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd: make batches so each s’more has space.
→ Can I bake them in an oven instead of an air fryer?
Yes — at 375 °F (190 °C) for about 5–7 minutes, until marshmallow is puffed and golden.
→ Can I make them gluten-free?
Yes — use gluten-free cookies or graham cracker alternatives.
→ Are they too sweet?
You can balance the sweetness by using dark chocolate or adding a pinch of salt on top.
✨ Enjoy your warm, gooey Air Fryer S’mores — a cozy, easy indoor treat that brings all the classic campfire vibes without leaving your kitchen.
