Air Fryer S’mores are one of my favorite ways to enjoy the classic campfire dessert without building a fire. I get the same combination of crisp graham crackers, warm melted chocolate, and soft, gooey marshmallows right in my kitchen.
I especially like this recipe when I want a quick dessert because the entire batch takes about 10 minutes from start to finish. With only three simple ingredients and very little cleanup, I can make a warm, nostalgic treat whenever a s’mores craving hits.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love how quick and uncomplicated these Air Fryer S’mores are. I only need three ingredients, and the air fryer handles the toasting and melting in just a few minutes.
I also like that I can make s’mores indoors at any time of year. The marshmallows become beautifully gooey while the chocolate softens just enough to create that familiar campfire-style texture.
Another reason I make this recipe is the easy cleanup. I don’t need a baking sheet, outdoor fire, or special equipment beyond my air fryer and a small spatula.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 whole graham crackers (30g)
2 large marshmallows
1 (1.45-ounce/41g) chocolate bar
Directions
I start by breaking the 2 whole graham cracker sheets in half so I have 4 individual squares.
I place 2 graham cracker squares in the air fryer basket. Then I cut or tear about ¼ inch from the bottom of each marshmallow to expose its sticky interior.
I place each marshmallow sticky-side down on a graham cracker. I find that the exposed sticky surface helps keep the marshmallows from moving around as the hot air circulates.
I air fry the marshmallow-topped graham crackers at 350°F (175°C) for 2 to 3 minutes, watching them closely toward the end because marshmallows can brown quickly.
I add the remaining 2 graham cracker squares to the air fryer basket and place half of the chocolate bar on each one. If necessary, I stack the chocolate pieces so they fit neatly on the crackers.
I air fry everything for another 1 minute at 350°F (175°C), just long enough to soften the chocolate.
I carefully remove the graham crackers using a small spatula. I place each chocolate-topped cracker over a marshmallow-topped cracker and gently press them together to make a sandwich.
I let the s’mores rest for 1 to 2 minutes before eating them. I find this short wait especially important because the inside of the marshmallow can be extremely hot immediately after air frying.

Variations
I sometimes replace regular milk chocolate with dark chocolate when I want a richer flavor or white chocolate when I want something sweeter and creamier.
For a peanut butter version, I spread a thin layer of peanut butter on the graham crackers before assembling the s’mores. I also like using chocolate-hazelnut spread for an especially creamy variation.
When I want extra texture, I add a few thin banana or strawberry slices after air frying and just before assembling the sandwiches. I can also experiment with cinnamon, chocolate, or honey-flavored graham crackers for a simple change without altering the method.
For a salty-sweet variation, I add a tiny pinch of flaky salt over the softened chocolate before I assemble the s’mores.
Storage/Reheating
I think Air Fryer S’mores taste best immediately after they’re made, while the graham crackers are crisp and the centers are still warm and gooey.
If I have leftovers, I let them cool completely and place them in an airtight container. I store them at room temperature for up to 1 day, although the graham crackers gradually become softer as they absorb moisture from the marshmallows.
To reheat a s’more, I place it back in the air fryer at about 300°F (150°C) for roughly 1 minute. I watch it carefully because the marshmallow and chocolate can heat very quickly. I also let it cool briefly before eating because the center can become surprisingly hot.

FAQs
Do I need to preheat the air fryer for s’mores?
I don’t usually preheat my air fryer for this recipe. Since the cooking time is so short, I can place the graham crackers and marshmallows directly into the basket and start cooking at 350°F (175°C). If my particular air fryer automatically preheats, I keep a close eye on the marshmallows because they may toast faster.
How do I keep marshmallows from flying around in the air fryer?
I cut or tear approximately ¼ inch from the bottom of each marshmallow. This exposes the sticky interior, which I press firmly onto the graham cracker. I find that this helps anchor the marshmallow against the circulating air.
What kind of chocolate works best for Air Fryer S’mores?
I usually use a classic milk chocolate bar because it melts easily and gives me the traditional s’mores flavor. I can also use dark, semisweet, or white chocolate depending on the flavor I want.
Why did my marshmallows burn?
Marshmallows can brown very quickly in an air fryer, and cooking performance varies between models. I start checking them early and remove them once they’re toasted and soft enough for my preference. I avoid leaving the air fryer unattended during this short cooking time.
Can I make more than two s’mores at once?
I can make a larger batch if my air fryer basket has enough room. I arrange the graham crackers in a single layer without overcrowding them so hot air can circulate properly. If my basket is small, I prefer cooking the s’mores in batches for more consistent results.
Conclusion
Air Fryer S’mores give me an easy way to recreate a classic campfire treat right in my kitchen. With crisp graham crackers, gooey toasted marshmallows, and warm melted chocolate, I get all the familiar flavors without needing a fire.
I especially like that I can prepare this dessert with only three ingredients in about 10 minutes. Whether I’m making a quick after-dinner sweet, a family snack, or simply satisfying a chocolate-and-marshmallow craving, this is an easy recipe I can return to again and again.

Ingredients
2 whole graham crackers (30g)
2 large marshmallows
1 (1.45-ounce/41g) chocolate bar
Instructions
- Break the 2 whole graham cracker sheets in half to make 4 individual squares.
- Place 2 graham cracker squares in the air fryer basket. Cut or tear about ¼ inch from the bottom of each marshmallow to expose the sticky interior.
- Place each marshmallow sticky-side down on a graham cracker, pressing gently so it stays in place.
- Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely toward the end as the marshmallows can brown quickly.

Notes
Preheating is not usually necessary. If your air fryer automatically preheats, begin checking the marshmallows early.
Exposing the sticky interior of each marshmallow helps anchor it to the graham cracker so it does not move in the circulating air.
Milk chocolate provides a classic flavor, but dark, semisweet, or white chocolate can be substituted.
For a peanut butter or chocolate-hazelnut variation, spread a thin layer on the graham crackers before assembling.
Thin banana or strawberry slices can be added just before assembling the s’mores.
Try cinnamon, chocolate, or honey-flavored graham crackers for an easy variation.
Add a small pinch of flaky salt over the softened chocolate for a salty-sweet version.
For larger batches, arrange the crackers in a single layer without overcrowding the air fryer basket and cook in batches if necessary.
S’mores are best served immediately. Leftovers can be cooled completely and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
To reheat, air fry at about 300°F (150°C) for approximately 1 minute, watching carefully, then allow to cool briefly before eating.
