Why this Recipe is a Keeper
These s’mores taste just as good as the campfire version, minus the fire. Here’s why they’re worth making on a rainy day.
- 5-Minute Treat: From start to finish, these s’mores come together in just five minutes.
- Just 3 Ingredients: Graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows are all you need.
- No Campfire Needed: The air fryer does all the toasting work indoors.
- Family Friendly: A fun activity for movie night or a rainy afternoon.
What’s the Best Chocolate to Use for S’mores in the Air Fryer?
Hershey’s chocolate bars are the classic choice since they’re affordable and melt easily. For a richer flavor, try a higher-quality chocolate like Ghirardelli instead.
Either option works well in the air fryer. The chocolate just needs to melt slightly from the heat of the toasted marshmallow, so almost any milk chocolate bar will do.
Pro Tip
Add the chocolate after the marshmallows and graham crackers finish air frying, not before. This keeps the chocolate from burning while the marshmallow toasts.
Ingredient Notes
A couple of ingredient choices make these s’mores extra gooey.
This is an overview of key ingredients. Get the full printable recipe with specific measurements and directions in the recipe card below.
- Marshmallows: Large marshmallows work better than minis, giving each s’more a generous, gooey center.
- Honey Graham Crackers: These are the classic choice, though sugar cookies make a fun swap.
Variations and Substitutions
This recipe is easy to customize depending on what you’re craving.
➡️ Add Fruit: Sliced bananas or strawberries add a fresh twist.
➡️ Swap the Chocolate: Try white chocolate or dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
➡️ Use Different Cookies: Chocolate graham crackers or chocolate chip cookies work in place of regular graham crackers.

How to Make the Recipe
These are just highlights. Get the full printable recipe with specific measurements and directions in the recipe card below.

- Air Fry until the marshmallows are golden and melty.
- Top with chocolate right after removing from the air fryer.
- Sandwich with the remaining graham cracker halves.
Prep Ahead and Short Cut Tips
A little prep ahead makes s’more night even easier.
➡️ Break the Crackers Ahead: Snap the graham crackers in half earlier in the day and store them in a sealed bag.
➡️ Portion the Chocolate: Break the chocolate bar into squares ahead of time so it’s ready to go.
➡️ Set Up a S’mores Bar: Lay out extra toppings so everyone can build their own.
Alternate Cooking Methods
No air fryer? The oven broiler works too.
- Oven Broiler: Broil the marshmallow-topped crackers for one to two minutes, watching closely, until toasty golden brown.
Can This Recipe Be Doubled or Halved?
Yes, this recipe scales easily up or down. Just adjust the number of graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate squares proportionally.
Keep in mind your air fryer basket can only fit so many at once. You may need to cook in batches for a bigger group.
How to Store, Reheat and Use Leftovers
- Storing: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days, though they’re best enjoyed warm right away.
- Reheating: Warm leftovers in the air fryer for a minute or so to soften the chocolate and marshmallow again.
- Using Leftovers: Crumble leftover s’mores over ice cream for a quick topping. Or try Air Fried Oreos for another quick air fryer treat.
Expert Tips for Making This Recipe
➡️ Use Large Marshmallows: These give a gooier center than minis.
➡️ Make it Gluten-Free: Swap in gluten-free graham crackers with no other changes needed.
➡️ Try a Topping Bar: Set out caramel sauce or crushed cookies for everyone to customize their own.
➡️ Make a Big Batch: Cook in multiple rounds for a movie night or party.

Christina’s Notes
-
- Add Chocolate After Air Frying: Putting chocolate in before toasting can cause it to burn or scorch.
- Line the Basket First: Foil or parchment catches sticky marshmallow drips and makes cleanup easy.
- Watch for Golden, Not Brown: Pull the marshmallows as soon as they turn golden, since they darken fast.
- Eat Warm for Best Texture: The chocolate and marshmallow firm up once cooled, so these are best fresh.
- Scale the recipe: Simply adjust the serving size in the recipe card and the ingredients will update automatically.
- Make your own All Purpose Seasoning: When a recipe calls for All Purpose Seasoning, you can use my homemade All Purpose Seasoning recipe or substitute salt and pepper to taste.
- Meat doneness: I always use a meat thermometer to test for doneness when cooking meat.
- Use unsalted butter: I use unsalted butter so I can control the salt level in the recipe.
- Preheat the oven: Unless otherwise noted, always preheat your oven before baking.
