Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Start by preparing your chocolate-covered strawberries. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth. The coconut oil helps create a smoother chocolate coating that sets with a beautiful shine.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip about ¾ of the way into the melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing on a sheet of baking paper. Insert a toothpick or small skewer into the stem end if needed for easier handling. Place in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes until the chocolate sets.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Preheat your air fryer to 180°C for 2 minutes. While it's preheating, arrange 8 graham cracker squares on a flat surface. Place one square of milk chocolate on each graham cracker, covering about ¾ of the surface. The remaining space will hold your marshmallow.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Cut each marshmallow in half crosswise (to create shorter cylinders) and place one half on each graham cracker next to the chocolate square. The marshmallow will expand as it heats, so leave a small gap between it and the chocolate.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Working in batches if necessary, carefully place the prepared graham crackers in your air fryer basket in a single layer, being careful not to crowd them. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the marshmallows are puffy and golden brown and the chocolate begins to melt. Watch carefully as marshmallows can quickly go from perfectly toasted to burnt.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Remove the s'mores from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula - they'll be hot! While still warm, place a chocolate-covered strawberry on top of each marshmallow, pressing down slightly so it adheres to the sticky surface.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Top each s'more with a second graham cracker square, pressing down gently to create a sandwich. The residual heat will continue to melt the chocolate and create that classic gooey s'more texture. If you prefer a more assembled look, you can also serve them open-faced with the chocolate-covered strawberry as the crown jewel on top.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>For a finishing touch, dust the assembled s'mores lightly with powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately while still warm for the ultimate melty, gooey experience. The contrast between the warm, toasty marshmallow, melted chocolate, and cool chocolate-covered strawberry creates an irresistible texture and flavor combination.</li></ol>

Chef’s Notes

A few helpful details for making this recipe.

Can I make s'mores in the air fryer without chocolate-covered strawberries?

Absolutely! Traditional s'mores work brilliantly in an air fryer - simply place graham crackers topped with chocolate and marshmallows in your air fryer for 2-3 minutes until golden and melty. It's a perfect alternative when you don't have strawberries available.

What's the best way to prevent chocolate from burning in the air fryer?

To prevent chocolate from burning, keep cooking time brief (2-3 minutes maximum), place the chocolate slightly away from the marshmallow, and watch carefully during cooking. The residual heat from the marshmallow will help melt the chocolate without scorching it.

How can I store leftover chocolate-dipped strawberries if I make too many?

Store leftover chocolate-dipped strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Place them in a single layer with parchment paper between layers if stacking. For best results, enjoy within a day as strawberries can become soggy.
