Ingredients Needed for Air Fryer Smores
- Graham Crackers. These form the base and top layer of your s'mores, providing a crunchy texture that pairs perfectly with the gooey filling.
- Marshmallows. Large marshmallows are ideal for this recipe because they get nice and gooey when heated, creating that classic s'mores experience.
- Hershey's Chocolate Candy Bars. Mini Hershey's bars melt beautifully over the warm marshmallows, but you can also use other types of chocolate bars or even chocolate chips.
- Chocolate Syrup (Optional). Adding a small dollop of chocolate syrup can help the marshmallow stick to the graham cracker and add extra chocolatey goodness.
How to Make Air Fryer Smores
- Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F for 2 minutes. This helps ensure even cooking and gets your air fryer to the right temperature.
- Place a graham cracker square in the air fryer basket, and top it with a large marshmallow. If you're using chocolate syrup, add a small dollop on the graham cracker before placing the marshmallow on top. This helps prevent the marshmallow from blowing off during air frying.
- Heat the s'mores in the air fryer at 350°F for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and toasty. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. Once the marshmallows are toasted to your liking, remove the basket from the air fryer.
- Immediately place a mini Hershey's chocolate bar on top of each roasted marshmallow. Then, add another graham cracker square on top to complete the s'more. Return the basket to the air fryer for an additional 10-20 seconds. Do not turn the air fryer on; the residual heat will help melt the chocolate.
FAQs
Yes, you can use any type of chocolate you like, such as dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or Reese’s peanut butter cups.
You can air fry up to 4 s'mores at a time, depending on the size of your air fryer basket.
Each air fryer heats differently, so you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly. Keep a close eye on the marshmallows to prevent burning.
No, the residual heat will be enough to melt the chocolate without turning the air fryer back on.
Yes, the chocolate syrup is optional. It helps keep the marshmallow in place but is not necessary for delicious s'mores.
Storage & Freezing
Storage: If you have leftover s'mores (which is rare because they're so delicious!), you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. However, they are best enjoyed fresh when the marshmallows are still gooey, and the chocolate is melty.
Freezing: While s'mores are best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze them for later enjoyment. Wrap each s'more individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to a month. When you're ready to enjoy them, let them thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes before reheating.
Reheating: To reheat stored or frozen s'mores, preheat your air fryer to 350°F and warm them for 1-2 minutes. This will help restore the gooey marshmallow and melty chocolate. Be careful not to overheat, as the marshmallow can become too soft and messy.
Substitutions & Variations
Different Types of Chocolate
- Dark Chocolate: For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate squares or chips.
- Milk Chocolate: Classic Hershey's bars are always a favorite.
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup: Add a fun twist with the combination of chocolate and peanut butter.
- Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips on the marshmallow before toasting.
Marshmallow Alternatives
- Mini Marshmallows: If you don’t have large marshmallows, use mini marshmallows. Pile a few on top of each graham cracker square.
- Marshmallow Creme: Spread marshmallow creme on the graham cracker before adding chocolate.
Graham Cracker Substitutes
- Chocolate Graham Crackers: For an extra chocolatey treat.
- Digestive Biscuits: These can be a good alternative if you don't have graham crackers.
Additional Toppings
- Peanut Butter: Spread a layer of peanut butter on the graham cracker before adding the marshmallow.
- Caramel Drizzle: Add a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra sweetness.
- Banana Slices: Place a few thin slices of banana on the chocolate for a fruity twist.
Pro Tips
- Place a small piece of parchment paper in the air fryer basket to catch any melting chocolate or sticky marshmallow that may drip. This makes cleanup a breeze.
- Keep a close eye on the marshmallows while they are in the air fryer. They can go from perfectly golden brown to burnt very quickly. Every air fryer is slightly different, so adjust the cooking time as needed for your specific model.
- Arrange the graham crackers and marshmallows in a single layer in the air fryer basket. This ensures even cooking and prevents the marshmallows from sticking together.
- Air fryer s'mores are best enjoyed immediately after making them. The marshmallows will be gooey, and the chocolate will be perfectly melted. If you let them sit too long, the marshmallows can become chewy and the chocolate will harden.
