Ingredients

Before we get started, let’s gather all the ingredients you’ll need to make s’mores in the air fryer. Luckily, the ingredients list for this recipe is short and simple:

• 4 marshmallows

Step 1: Preparing the Air Fryer

Before we can start making s’mores in the air fryer, we need to prepare the air fryer itself. Here’s how:

1. Preheat the air fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the s’mores cook evenly and become perfectly toasted.
2. Line the air fryer basket: To prevent the s’mores from sticking to the air fryer basket, you can line it with parchment paper or aluminum foil. This step is optional but can make cleanup easier.

Once your air fryer is preheated and the basket is prepped, it’s time to move on to the next step: assembling the s’mores!

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and place the graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows in the air fryer basket. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the marshmallows are golden brown. Enjoy your delicious air fryer s’mores!

Step 2: Assembling the S’mores

Now that your air fryer is ready, it’s time to assemble the s’mores. Follow these simple steps:

1. Place graham cracker halves in the air fryer: Arrange the graham cracker halves in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure to leave some space between each piece.
2. Add the chocolate: Place a small piece of chocolate bar on top of each graham cracker half. If you prefer, you can break the chocolate into smaller pieces for easier melting.
3. Top with marshmallows: Place a marshmallow on top of each chocolate piece. Press down gently to ensure the s’mores stay intact during the cooking process.

Take a moment to admire your beautiful s’more creations before moving on to the next step. It’s almost time to enjoy these delicious treats!

Step 3: Air Frying the S’mores

Now comes the fun part – air frying the s’mores to perfection! Follow these steps to achieve melty marshmallows and perfectly toasted graham crackers:

1. Place the s’mores in the air fryer: Carefully place the assembled s’mores into the preheated air fryer basket. Make sure they are arranged in a single layer and not touching each other.
2. Air fry the s’mores: Close the air fryer and set the temperature to 350°F (175°C). Cook the s’mores for about 3-5 minutes, or until the marshmallows turn golden brown and start to expand.
3. Keep an eye on the s’mores: It’s important to monitor the s’mores closely during the cooking process to prevent them from burning. Air fryers can vary in cooking times, so it’s best to check on them frequently.

Once the marshmallows have reached your desired level of toasting, it’s time to remove the s’mores from the air fryer and move on to the final step.

Step 4: Serving and Enjoying

Congratulations! You have successfully air fried your s’mores. Now it’s time to dig in and enjoy the deliciousness. Follow these final steps to serve and savor your air fryer s’mores:

1. Cool the s’mores: Carefully remove the s’mores from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula. Allow them to cool for a few minutes to avoid burning your mouth.
2. Optional garnishes: If you want to take your s’mores to the next level, you can add some additional garnishes at this stage. Drizzle melted chocolate on top, sprinkle crushed graham crackers, or even add a dollop of whipped cream.
3. Serve and enjoy: Transfer each s’more to a plate or serving tray and get ready to indulge. The gooey marshmallow, melted chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers combine to create a heavenly treat.

Remember, s’mores are best enjoyed when they’re still warm and gooey. So gather your friends and family, grab a napkin, and savor each delightful bite of these air fryer s’mores.
