I love easy desserts, especially when they involve chocolate. From brownies to hot chocolate, to cookies with chocolate in them…Chocolate is my weakness. Now when you add Graham Crackers and a large roasted marshmallow…I’m in Bliss!
Yes, my friends, I’m talking about delicious s’mores. The favorite campfire treat involves roasting large marshmallows over an open fire and them smashing between two graham crackers and a piece of milk chocolate.
I have days when I’m craving this campfire dessert. But in no way am I going outdoors to create fire to roast two marshmallows. That’s when these air fryer smores come into play! These now become indoor s’mores that are ready in less than 5 minutes. Melty chocolate and golden brown marshmallows make this a delicious treat.
How to make S’mores Indoors in an Air fryer
First, grab a few Graham Crackers and snap them in half, and lay them in the bottom of your air fryer basket. For this recipe, I used my Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker/Air Fryer to make these s’mores. I also made them in my Phillips Avance XL Air Fryer and I found that my graham crackers moved around a bit. My guess is that the fan in my Phillips is very strong.
Then, grab one medium-sized marshmallow and break it in half. Then add these marshmallow halves to the graham crackers, placing the sticky side of the marshmallow on the graham crackers. This hack allows the marshmallows to stick to the graham crackers and won’t blow away during the air cooking cycle.
Close the Air Fryer and air fry at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes. I found that in my Ninja Foodi, I have to cook around 7 minutes to get a nice roast on the marshmallow but it’s only about 5 minutes in my Phillips. I’d recommend checking for brownness after 2-3 minutes.
Once your marshmallows are nice and roasted, place a piece of chocolate on top, followed by the other side of the Graham cracker.
The warmth of the marshmallow will melt the chocolate. Take a bite and enjoy 🙂
What should I do if my marshmallows fall off my s’mores?
Depending on our air fryer brand, you may notice that the marshmallows may slide off the graham crackers a bit. Just simply place the marshmallows back on the graham cracker and continue roasting.
What’s the best chocolate to use for s’mores?
I like to use a plain milk chocolate bar for my s’mores but the possibilities are endless. You can use dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even mini chocolate chips.
What are the best crackers to use?
This is a base recipe and any kind of sweet crackers will work. Graham crackers or honey graham crackers, thin ginger snap cookies, or think sugar cookies are an amazing twist on classic smores.
Can I line my air fryer with foil or parchment paper when making smores?
Sure! I don’t find this recipe messy so I usually lay my crackers right in the basket. However, a liner can help just in case your marshmallows move around when cooking.
Notes on Air Fryer S’mores
- Different brands and sizes of Air Fryers cook differently. Some marshmallows will roast quicker than others depending on the air fryer. I recommend checking your s’mores after 2 minutes. They are done when the tops are a nice brown color.
- We made these by adding the chocolate before the air frying cycle and after. My 10-year-old taste tester and I decided that the chocolate was best added after as it they became gooey air fryer smores. Adding them before would sometimes burn the cholate and make the chocolate bitter.
- Keep a close eye on the s’mores so the marshmallows don’t get too crisp.
- Lay the s’mores in a single layer so they don’t overlap. This ensures all your marshmallows will get roasted.
- Most air fryer baskets will be large enough to make 2 smores. If using an air fryer tray, you will be able to add more s’mores at a time.

Notes
- Overall cook time will change depending on the air fryer size and model. Check on s’mores after about 2-3 minutes.
- Please make sure to break marshmallows in half and place the sticky side on the graham cracker so the marshmallows don’t fly off. It’ll be the glue you need to stop them from flying around.
- These S’mores were made in the Ninja Foodi Air Fryer.

Hey so my graham crackers and marshmallows flew up on my airfryer and nearly burnt my house down. This was supposed to be my friends birthday treat but now we just have burnt crackers and a dismantled airfryer. Just pop the crackers and marshmallows halves for 8 seconds in the microwave and call it a day.

Hey Jessica and Chantal, this can happen if your air fryer fan is powerful. I have a video included in this blog post that shows the difference an air fryer can make. Either way, if you want to give this another go, I advice to 1. make sure the marshmallow is broken in half, and the sticky side is attached to the grab cracker, and to check the s'mores before the allotted cook time to make sure they aren't flying all over the place.

Perfect. I used some wax paper at the bottom tin to help them from falling through and sticking. It was more like 4 min for me at 385F. No mess. Easy.

Do not do 390 for 7 mins in a ninja Foodi my marshmallows are over toasted and melted into the bottom of the pan and the gram crackers are BURNT! I was trying to get rid of my left over gram crackers and marshmallows so I cannot post the correct temp.

@CC, It makes difference which model Ninja Foodi you have. It can be a bit confusing. The author used the Pressure Cooker/Air Fryer combo, but there are quite a few Foodi appliances. I use the Ninja Foodi Grill, and it only took maybe 3 minutes at 390F. I also had to put both halves of the marshmallow on each piece of graham cracker to keep it from blowing around. Keep checking it, just like you do when broiling in an oven. I also ended up with baked-on mallow, but a 20 minute soak in Dawn dish soap water and it all melted right off.

Ladies...TOOTHPICKS Keeps the marshmallows from blowing around. I used my instant vortex plus they took about 3 minutes to become golden brown on 380 I think. You never fail me girl!!! Keep recipes coming my way!
