How to Make Air Fryer S’mores
To make this simple recipe, you need basic s’mores ingredients—graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate. Plus, an air fryer, of course!
Directions
First, break two graham crackers in half. Lay all four squares evenly in the air fryer. Next, take two marshmallows out of the bag and split each one in half. Set a marshmallow piece on top of each graham cracker. Put them in the air fryer and set it to 375°F.
Keep them in the air fryer for two minutes. The marshmallows should come out golden brown and crisp.
Now they’re ready for two pieces of chocolate to go right on top of the marshmallows. From there, break two more graham crackers in half and top off each s’more. It’s time for melted chocolate and gooey marshmallow goodness!
