No campfire, no problem! Make delicious and gooey Air Fryer S’mores anytime you want right in your kitchen!
Gooey marshmallows and melty chocolate with crisp graham crackers are a favorite for young and old, but often s’mores require a campfire or a fire hazard in your oven. I decided to try the trend you may have seen on TikTok for Air Fryer S’mores and I don’t think we will ever make them any other way.
Why You Will Love Air Fryer S’mores
You can contain all the mess of making s’mores in the oven and control it a little more by making s’mores in the air fryer instead.
Other Recipes to Serve with Air Fryer S’mores
- Brownie Batter S’mores Dip – even more gooey s’mores fun in a dip that you can have ready for a s’mores themed party or movie night
- Chocolate Chip Cookie S’mores Bars – combine two of the most delicous traditional desserts into one epic dessert bar
Ingredients
Crunchy: Grab some graham crackers for the top and bottom of your s’more. Sometimes I’ll mix things up with cinnamon or chocolate graham crackers.
Melty: Pick up some chocolate bars! I like using Hershey’s chocolate, it’s a classic everyone loves. But cookies and cream chocolate bars, dark chocolate, and even peanut butter cups are all fantastic choices!
Gooey: Nothing says s’more more than marshmallows!. Yyou can use regular marshmallows or flavored ones if you find them at the store. If you want a double dose of chocolate, get some stuffed marshmallows!
How to Make Air Fryer S’mores
An air fryer is a small convection oven, so your marshmallows can still catch on fire or burn, so be alert while making your s’mores. You can also line the basket with aluminum foil or use air fryer-approved parchment paper liners to make cleaning up and removal from the basket easier.
STEP ONE: Get your graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate all laid out and cut or broken into pieces.
STEP TWO: Place the graham crackers in the air fryer basket, top each one with marshmallows, and cook for 4 minutes at 370 degrees F.
STEP THREE: Add the chocolate pieces and the top graham cracker immediately after taking everything out of the air fryer so the chocolate gets nice and melty.
Tips for Success
- Put the marshmallows CUT SIDE DOWN on the crackers, so they stick and don’t get caught up in the wind that blows around the air fryer
- If you want really gooey s’mores, you can air fry for 3 minutes, then add the chocolate and air fry for 1 minute more. However, you do risk a messier air fryer and it makes it more difficult to remove them from the air fryer.
- I used regular sized marshmallows.
- If you’re making multiple batches, don’t cut the marshmallows in half until you’re ready to put them on the graham crackers otherwise they will lose their stickiness.
Can you air fry marshmallows?
You can, but notice I said to put the sticky cut side down on the graham crackers? Air is blown around inside the air fryer. Since it’s a small convection oven (oven with a fan) it can make a decent “breeze” inside the machine. Marshmallows are very light, you don’t want them getting caught up in the wind and ending up stuck to the heating element. *That would not be a fun mess to clean up*

Ingredients
- 9 graham crackers
- 9 marshmallows (regular sized)
- 3 Hershey's chocolate bars
Instructions
- Break the graham crackers in half and place 9 halves in the air fryer. (see note)
- Cut the marshmallows in half and place the cut sides down on the graham cracker squares. This helps the marshmallows cook more evenly and prevents them from flying around the air fryer.
- Cook at 370 degrees F for 4 minutes.
- Remove from the air fryer and immediately add the chocolate squares on top of the marshmallows and top with the other half of the graham crackers that weren’t put in the air fryer. Serve immediately.
Notes
- I use a Cosori 5.8qt air fryer – different sized air fryers may be able to hold more or less. If your air fryer holds less, you can cook the s’mores in batches.
- If you’re making multiple batches, don’t cut the marshmallows in half until you’re ready to put them on the graham crackers otherwise they will lose their stickiness.
- If you want really gooey s’mores, you can air fry for 3 minutes, then add the chocolate and air fry for 1 minute more. However, you do risk a messier air fryer and it makes it more difficult to remove them from the air fryer.
