Ingredients You’ll Need
One of the greatest things about Air Fryer S’mores Delight is the simplicity: just three pantry staples come together to create magic! Each ingredient plays a starring role, from crunchy crackers to creamy chocolate and melty marshmallows—you won’t want to swap a thing!
- Honey Graham Crackers: These classic sweet crackers bring the signature crunch and subtle honey flavor—don’t forget to break them into squares for that classic “sandwich” effect!
- Regular Marshmallows: Choose the classic size so they roast to a gooey, golden brown that melts just right between your crackers.
- Hershey Bar: The iconic chocolate bar provides that familiar, creamy melt—snap it into pieces to fit perfectly atop your marshmallow.
Variations
One of my favorite parts about making Air Fryer S’mores Delight is how easy it is to customize—whether you’re avoiding dairy, want a new twist, or just using what you have on hand, the possibilities are endless. Let your imagination (and your pantry) guide you!
- Peanut Butter S’mores: Spread a thin layer of creamy peanut butter on the graham cracker before adding marshmallow—hello, salty-sweet perfection.
- Dark Chocolate or Caramel: Swap out classic Hershey’s for a dark chocolate bar or a piece of caramel-filled chocolate to add a rich, grown-up edge.
- Gluten-Free or Vegan: Use GF graham crackers, plant-based marshmallows, and vegan chocolate for a treat everyone can enjoy.
- Cookie Cracker Swap: Try chocolate chip cookies or digestive biscuits in place of graham crackers for a fun flavor twist!
How to Make Air Fryer S’mores Delight
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Start by breaking each sheet of graham cracker in half—you’ll have eight perfect squares. Next, carefully break your Hershey Bar into four even chunks (each should have three little chocolate rectangles). With a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, slice one end off each marshmallow to create a sticky base—this little trick keeps the marshmallow from flying away in your air fryer!
Step 2: Assemble in the Air Fryer
First, preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Arrange all eight cracker squares in the basket. Place one sticky-sided marshmallow (sticky side down) on four of the crackers—the other four will stay plain for now. If any marshmallow trimmings remain, gently press them (sticky side down) on top of the marshmallows in the air fryer for extra gooeyness!
Step 3: Fry to Crispy Gooey Goodness
Air fry for 2–3 minutes. Stay close—marshmallows toast FAST! You’re looking for puffy, golden brown tops and crackers that are warmed and slightly toasted at the edges. The aroma will be pure childhood happiness!
Step 4: Add Chocolate & Assemble
Remove the marshmallow-topped crackers carefully (they’ll be hot!) and immediately place a chunk of chocolate on each. Top with the remaining plain crackers, gently pressing to sandwich your melty masterpiece together. Dive in while the chocolate is oozy and the marshmallow is perfectly molten!
Pro Tips for Making Air Fryer S’mores Delight
- Sticky Marshmallow Hack: Always slice an end off the marshmallow—this simple trick makes sure your marshmallows stay put during air frying, so you won’t lose any in the whirlwind!
- Watch Like a Hawk: Marshmallows toast super quickly in the air fryer, so peek after 2 minutes—they can go from golden to scorched in seconds.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Make sure the graham crackers are in a single layer so the air can work its magic and everything browns evenly.
- Immediate Assembly for Melty Chocolate: Place the chocolate bar on hot marshmallow right away after air frying—it melts into that classic oozy layer you know and love.
How to Serve Air Fryer S’mores Delight
Garnishes
For an extra-special Air Fryer S’mores Delight, drizzle finished s’mores with warm caramel or chocolate sauce, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, or add rainbow sprinkles for a kid-approved treat. A dusting of powdered sugar just before serving also makes them look bakery-worthy!
Side Dishes
Pair your sweet creations with a tall glass of ice-cold milk, a mug of hot cocoa, or even fresh berries to cut through the richness. For a full-on dessert night, serve alongside vanilla ice cream or fruit salad for a mix of cool and gooey textures!
Creative Ways to Present
Get playful with your presentation! Stack Air Fryer S’mores Delight on a wooden board for a build-your-own s’mores bar, cut them in halves for perfectly shareable bites, or skewer them like pops for parties—kids adore this twist!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
While Air Fryer S’mores Delight are best enjoyed right away for maximum ooziness, you can store any extras in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day. The graham crackers may soften, but the flavor is still top-notch!
Freezing
If you want to make a batch ahead, assemble but don’t air fry—freeze the marshmallow grahams (without chocolate) for up to two months, then air fry and add chocolate fresh for best results. Fully assembled s’mores do not freeze well, as the texture changes.
Reheating
To revive leftover s’mores, pop them back into the air fryer for 1 minute at 350°F to warm things up and slightly crisp the crackers, or microwave for a few seconds if you’re in a pinch. Just keep an eye out—marshmallows expand and can get too hot quickly!
FAQs
-
Can I use mini marshmallows instead of regular ones?
You can, but mini marshmallows tend to roll off the crackers more easily and don’t toast as evenly. If you only have minis, pile a few together and press them firmly to the cracker so they hold their shape during air frying.
-
Do I need to line the air fryer basket?
It’s not required, but a small piece of parchment or perforated liner under the crackers can help with cleanup if your marshmallows get extra melty. Just be sure not to cover the entire basket or block airflow.
-
What if my graham crackers don’t fit perfectly in my air fryer?
No problem! You can trim the graham crackers a bit or slightly overlap them—just be sure there’s room for air circulation. You may need to work in batches if your air fryer is small.
-
Can I double this Air Fryer S’mores Delight recipe?
Absolutely—just work in batches so each s’more has enough space in the air fryer for perfect browning. Keep cooked s’mores loosely covered while you finish the rest, then dig in with friends!
Final Thoughts
If you’re wishing for a sweet, melty treat in minutes, you can’t go wrong with Air Fryer S’mores Delight. Try them once, and they’ll become your go-to for an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert that sparks major joy—cozy vibes and happy smiles guaranteed!
