Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Assemble the S’mores: Place four halves of graham crackers on a clean surface. Top each with a piece of chocolate and a marshmallow. Then, place the remaining graham cracker halves on top to form sandwiches.
- Spray the Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Top Tips for Perfecting Air Fryer S’mores
- Substitutions: If you’re looking for Halal-friendly options, use chocolate that’s labeled Halal. You can also switch up the graham crackers for coconut or almond flour options to give it a unique twist.
- Timing Is Key: Monitor your Air Fryer S’mores closely. Depending on your air fryer, the cooking time can vary. Start checking them around the 3-minute mark.
- Avoiding Common Mistakes: Don’t overcrowd the basket; give each S’more some space to cook evenly.
