Air Fryer S’mores
Making smores in the air fryer is truly elite. Whether you don’t have access to an open fire or just don’t feel like being outdoors, air fryer s’mores are an easy way to satisfy your craving for the campfire treat.
I love s’mores, and I have tried pretty much every method to make them, but none have worked as seamlessly as air frying. Baking takes forever because the oven needs to preheat. Roasting marshmallows on an open flame on the stove is an easy way to burn them (plus it’s so hard to clean the stove). When I roast them on the campfire, my clothes get smoky & sometimes it takes 30 minutes to get the fire going. By the time it gets going, I am not hungry for the s’more anymore!

I used the Our Place 6-1 Wonder Oven to make this air fryer s’mores recipe. Here’s why I love it:
It’s a ceramic, non-toxic machine with 6 different cooking settings.
You can air fry, toast, broil, bake, and steam in it.
It’s beautiful! I don’t mind keeping this out on the counter because it’s so stylish.
How to Make S’mores in the Air Fryer
Place the graham cracker in the air fryer basket. Add a square of chocolate on top.
Add a marshmallow to the chocolate. Air fry at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 minutes. Place the other half of the graham cracker on top.
Enjoy warm!
Recipe Variations
Chocolate: Try using milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate. You can even skip the classic Hershey's bar and opt for another candy bar like Reese’s peanut butter cups, York Peppermint Patties, or Hershey's almonds. I personally love using Hu Chocolate, a clean chocolate brand.
Crackers: Not a fan of graham cracker squares? Instead of Honey Maid, use your favorite cookies or Ritz crackers. You can even use chocolate graham crackers for a chocolatey twist!
More Add-Ins: Try adding Nutella or cookie butter spread.
Tips for the Best Air Fryer S’mores
I line my air fryer with a parchment paper liner because it makes for an easy clean-up in case the chocolate or marshmallow melts on the air fryer.
The 4-minute cooking time is just a guideline. Some air fryers cook a little faster, and others slower. So check your s’mores after 3 minutes to ensure it hasn’t melted. In my air fryer, 4 minutes is the perfect golden glow for the marshmallows.
If your chocolate is thin or small, you could even add it after the first 2 minutes to ensure it doesn’t melt completely in the air fryer.
If you are adding chocolate, layer it before the marshmallow because if you add it on top, it burns slightly and gives the s’more a bitter flavor.
You can add as many s’mores to the air fryer as you want. Just make sure they do not overlap.
Storing Leftovers
These are best served warm, immediately after baking in the air fryer so don’t save them for later!

How long should you cook air fryer smores for?
You should cook air fryer s'mores for about 4 minutes at 390 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it's always a good idea to check on them after 3 minutes to make sure they haven't melted too much.

Does an air fryer produce smores with a gooey inside?
Yes, an air fryer can produce s'mores with a gooey inside! When you air fry the s'mores, the marshmallow gets warm and melty, creating that wonderful gooey texture. It will also melt the chocolate perfectly. Just be sure to cook them for the recommended time (4 minutes) to achieve that perfect balance of crispy and gooey.
Does an air fryer produce smores with a crispy outside?
The hot circulating air in the air fryer creates a nice golden brown crust on the graham cracker and marshmallow, giving the s'more that desirable crispy texture. Just make sure to set the air fryer to a high temperature, around 390 degrees Fahrenheit, and cook the s'mores for about 4 minutes.
