Ingredients

<ul class="ingredients-main-list"> <li class="ingredients-single-item">8 graham cracker squares (4 full rectangles broken in half)</li> <li class="ingredients-single-item">4 squares milk chocolate (approximately 40g total)</li> <li class="ingredients-single-item">4 large marshmallows</li> <li class="ingredients-single-item">5g unsalted butter, melted (optional, for brushing)</li> </ul>

Equipment

<ul class="equipment-main-list"> <li class="equipment-single-item">Air fryer</li> <li class="equipment-single-item">Silicone tongs or spatula</li> <li class="equipment-single-item">Small food-safe brush (optional, for butter)</li> </ul>

Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4> Preheat your air fryer to 180°C for about 2 minutes. This preheating step ensures even cooking and proper melting of your s'mores components. While the air fryer heats up, arrange 4 graham cracker halves on a flat surface to serve as the base for your s'mores. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4> Place one square of chocolate onto each graham cracker half. The warmth from the air fryer will gently melt the chocolate, so breaking larger chocolate bars into appropriate-sized pieces now saves you from messy handling later. If using the optional butter, lightly brush the tops of your remaining graham cracker halves - this will create a beautiful golden sheen and enhance the flavor. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4> Place the graham crackers with chocolate into the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Carefully place one marshmallow on top of each chocolate square. The marshmallows will expand as they heat, so ensure adequate spacing to prevent them from sticking together. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4> Air fry for 2-3 minutes at 180°C, keeping a close eye on the marshmallows. They should turn golden brown and puff up nicely without burning. The exact timing depends on your specific air fryer model - you're looking for a golden exterior while the inside becomes perfectly gooey. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4> Once the marshmallows are toasted to your preference and the chocolate has started to melt, carefully remove the s'mores bases from the air fryer using silicone tongs or a spatula. The components will be very hot, so handle with care! Immediately top each with the remaining graham cracker halves, pressing down gently to create a sandwich. </li> <li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4> Allow the s'mores to rest for 30-60 seconds before serving. This brief resting period allows the heat to distribute evenly, fully melting the chocolate while slightly cooling the assembly to a safe eating temperature. The ideal s'more will have a gooey, stretchy marshmallow center with perfectly melted chocolate. Serve immediately while still warm for the authentic s'more experience! </li> </ol>

What ingredients are used in Air Fryer S'mores Recipe?

Air Fryer S'mores require just 4 ingredients: graham crackers, marshmallows, milk chocolate squares, and optional melted butter for brushing. These simple ingredients transform into a delicious treat with all the flavour of campfire s'mores but made indoors.

How to cook Air Fryer S'mores Recipe at home?

Learn how to cook Air Fryer S'mores by preheating your air fryer to 180°C, placing chocolate on graham cracker halves, topping with marshmallows, and air frying for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Once toasted, sandwich with remaining graham crackers for a quick indoor treat that mimics the gooey, melty texture of traditional campfire s'mores.

Can I use different types of chocolate for my indoor s'mores?

Absolutely! While traditional s'mores use milk chocolate, you can experiment with dark, white, or flavoured chocolates like mint or caramel-filled varieties. Peanut butter cups or chocolate with nuts also make delicious alternatives for more gourmet air-fried s'mores.

Why is my marshmallow burning in the air fryer?

Marshmallows can burn quickly due to their high sugar content. To prevent burning, reduce temperature to 160°C, decrease cooking time to 1-2 minutes, or place marshmallows on top just in the last minute of cooking. Keep a constant eye on them as air fryer models vary in heat intensity.

How can I make my air fryer s'mores healthier?

For healthier s'mores, use dark chocolate with higher cocoa content (70%+), choose low-sugar marshmallows, and opt for wholemeal graham crackers. You can also use smaller portions of chocolate and marshmallows while still enjoying the classic flavour combination.
