Expert recipe tips
I’ve been called the air fryer master, so here are my top recipe tips for air frying s’mores:
Preheat your air fryer. This ensures the marshmallows will get golden brown and gooey on the inside.
Tear your marshmallows in half. Then place them cut side down on the graham cracker. This ensures that the marshmallows stick to the cracker when air frying and do not fall off.
Do not add the chocolate until after you are done air frying. No one likes burnt chocolate, so make sure that you add the chocolate after the marshmallows and graham crackers are done air frying.
Add extra toppings after air frying. Similar to my third tip, make sure you add any spread of extra topping after you air fry the s’mores.
