WHAT ARE CLASSIC S’MORES?
A classic s’more combines three basic ingredients: graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate. Traditionally, the marshmallow is roasted over an open flame until it’s golden and gooey, then sandwiched with a piece of chocolate between two graham cracker halves. The warm marshmallow melts the chocolate, creating the iconic, gooey treat loved by kids and adults alike.
The charm of s’mores lies in their simplicity: crunchy crackers, soft marshmallow, and melty chocolate in every bite. They’re a staple of camping trips and backyard bonfires but easy to recreate at home with an air fryer, oven, or microwave.
INGREDIENTS FOR THIS AIR FRYER S’MORES RECIPE
The ingredients below are all you need to make air fryer s’mores (exact quantities and a printable recipe card appear in the recipe section):
- Graham crackers — plain or chocolate-flavored (if using chocolate graham crackers, you can skip the chocolate squares).
- Jumbo marshmallows — mini marshmallows can work but are harder to handle; vegan marshmallows are fine too.
- Chocolate squares — dark, milk, white, or chocolate chips, depending on your preference.
- Cooking spray or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS DELICIOUS TREAT
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C).
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Break graham crackers in half and arrange them in a single layer in the basket.
Break a chocolate bar into squares and place a few pieces on top of each graham cracker half. Cook in the air fryer for 1 minute to begin softening the chocolate.
Top each chocolate-topped cracker with a marshmallow.
Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for about 3 more minutes, or until marshmallows are golden and puffed and the chocolate is melted.
Carefully remove the basket, top each marshmallow with the remaining graham cracker halves to form sandwiches, and press gently to spread the melted chocolate and marshmallow.
Serve immediately and enjoy—a quick, mess-free s’mores fix without stepping outside.
Air fryer s’mores are fast, fun, and customizable. Swap chocolate varieties, add peanut butter or caramel, or try different cracker types to suit your taste.
CAN I BAKE THEM?
Yes—if you don’t have an air fryer, the oven is a great alternative. To bake s’mores:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Arrange graham cracker halves in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Top each cracker with a square of chocolate and a large marshmallow.
- Bake 7–10 minutes, until marshmallows are golden and puffy and chocolate is soft.
- Remove from oven, allow to cool a minute, then top with the second graham cracker halves to form sandwiches.
Baked s’mores are easy and less hands-on than roasting over a flame, and you can customize them with toppings like peanut butter, caramel, or fruit slices.
CAN I MICROWAVE S’MORES?
Microwaving s’mores works in a pinch, though you won’t get the toasted exterior that an air fryer or oven provides. To microwave s’mores:
- Place graham cracker halves on a microwave-safe plate.
- Add a chocolate square to each cracker half and top with a marshmallow (or half a marshmallow).
- Microwave on high for 10–15 seconds, until marshmallows puff up. Times vary by microwave power—watch closely to avoid overflow.
- Let cool briefly, then top with the remaining cracker halves to form sandwiches.
Microwaved s’mores are quick and convenient, ideal when you want a fast treat with minimal equipment.
