Air Fryer S’mores Recipe
Graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate – put that combo together, and you’ve got the ultimate allergy-friendly air fryer s’mores treat for the entire family. Everyone enjoys roasting s’mores over an open fire on a cool, crisp fall night or at an early spring bonfire.
But let’s face it, sometimes making a fire and being outdoors isn’t an option, especially in the Carolinas when a summer thunderstorm can roll in faster than you can say, “S’more, please!” So, why risk a soggy marshmallow when you can keep things indoors and dry? You’ll be toasting marshmallows with an air fryer instead of dodging raindrops!

Air-fryer s’mores are a quick, easy, and delicious three-ingredient recipe you can make in under five minutes. What is there not to love? Golden graham crackers, check. Ooey-gooey marshmallows, check. Melty chocolate, check. Air fryer, check.
It’s the perfect dessert to whip up and enjoy at a backyard summer cookout, birthday party, or even as a midnight snack. Plus, the best part is that you can enjoy s’mores all year! No more waiting for the perfect weather or the right occasion.
Why I Love Air Fryer S’mores
While we might not be seasoned campers (okay, my idea of roughing it is staying in a hotel without room service), the allure of s’mores tempts me to consider pitching a tent just for that gooey, chocolatey delight. The idea of sitting around a campfire, roasting marshmallows to golden perfection, and then squishing them between graham crackers and chocolate has always sounded like the perfect evening.
However, with our busy schedules and the unpredictable weather in the Carolinas, setting up a campfire isn’t always practical. But that hasn’t stopped us from enjoying our beloved s’mores. Enter the air fryer – our modern-day campfire. We’ve mastered making air fryer s’mores, and it’s been a game changer. And let’s be honest, I’m not exactly a master chef, so anything that doesn’t involve complicated cooking steps is a win in my book. The air fryer makes it so simple that even I can’t mess it up!

How To Make Perfect Air Fryer S’mores
Creating s’mores in the air fryer is incredibly simple! You can enjoy this classic treat in just 5 minutes without needing an open fire, all from the comfort of your kitchen.
- Start with Room Temperature Marshmallows
Using marshmallows at room temperature helps them cook evenly, ensuring a perfectly gooey center. - Go Big for Extra Gooeyness
If you love your s’mores ultra gooey, try using jumbo marshmallows for an extra melty treat. - Get Creative with Chocolate
Mix things up by experimenting with different types of chocolate – from dark to white to flavored varieties – to find your favorite allergy-friendly combination. - Avoid Overcooking
Keep an eye on your s’mores to prevent overcooking. Overdone marshmallows can become tough and chewy rather than soft and gooey. - Serve Immediately
Enjoy your air fryer s’mores for the best texture and flavor as soon as they’re ready. S’mores are at their peak when the chocolate is still melty, and the marshmallows are warm.
Creative Twists on the Traditional S’more
If you’re looking to switch up the traditional s’more, you can get creative with these suggestions:
- Chocolate graham crackers
- Cinnamon graham crackers
- Strawberry marshmallows
- Holiday flavors of marshmallows
