Equipment You’ll Need for This Easy Air Fryer S’mores

The star of this recipe? The air fryer, of course. Here’s what you’ll want to grab:

  • An air fryer: Any model works! Just make sure it fits at least a single layer of s’mores without stacking.

Pro Tip: If your air fryer has a preheat option, skip it—this recipe doesn’t need it.

Simple Ingredients for Easy Air Fryer S’mores

Let’s keep it simple—you only need three ingredients for these simple air fryer desserts:

  • Graham Crackers: Use full-sized crackers and break them in half for an ideal s’mores base.
  • Marshmallows: Standard-size ones work best. Cut them in half to help them stick to the graham cracker.
  • Chocolate: Small pieces of milk or dark chocolate work great. If you’re fancy, try flavored chocolate bars or peanut butter cups.

Out of graham crackers? Swap them for digestive biscuits or sugar cookies for a fun twist.

Jake’s Tips for the Best Easy Air Fryer S’mores

  • Check early: Air fryer marshmallows toast faster than you think. Peek at 2 minutes to prevent over-toasting.
  • Chocolate timing: Always add the chocolate after cooking so it melts just right without scorching.
  • Use a single layer: Overlapping s’mores won’t roast evenly.
  • Clean up quick: Let your air fryer cool, then wipe the basket down to prevent any sticky residue.
  • Make extras: Double the recipe instantly—it’s easy to do in batches!

Easy Air Fryer S’mores Variations

You can make this classic treat your own. Here’s how:

  • Nutty Crunch: Add a layer of peanut butter before roasting for a salty-sweet twist.
  • Fruity Delight: Swap chocolate for thinly sliced strawberries or banana.
  • Cookie Lover: Use chocolate chip cookies instead of graham crackers for an indulgent twist.
  • Dairy-Free: Use dark chocolate and vegan marshmallows for a dairy-free option.

Easy Air Fryer S’mores FAQs

Can I use mini marshmallows instead?

Yes, but they may toast faster. Keep an eye on them and use enough to cover the graham cracker evenly.

Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

Nope! This air fryer s’mores recipe is simple and works perfectly without preheating.

How do I stop the marshmallows from sticking to the air fryer?

If you’re worried about sticking, use a small piece of parchment paper under the graham crackers.

What’s the best chocolate to use?

Any type works! Classic milk chocolate melts beautifully, but dark or flavored bars can elevate your homemade s’mores recipe.

Absolutely. If you’re using an air fryer tray, you can make multiple batches quickly—just ensure no overlap.
