Ingredient Notes
- gluten-free graham crackers – I used my homemade gluten-free graham crackers, but you can use store-bought or if you aren’t gluten-free like me, your favorite graham crackers.
- marshmallows – You’ll want to use the regular marshmallows (large marshmallows), not the mini marshmallows, for this recipe. I think the extra jumbo marshmallows are also too big since they do puff up in the air fryer a bit and will overpower the graham crackers.
- chocolate – I used a combination of chocolate bars (Hershey’s bars) and peanut butter cups for this recipe. You can use any chocolate you wish. About 1 ounce of chocolate for each s’more is sufficient. They get melty!

Expert Tips
- Different air fryer models will cook s’mores in varying amounts of times. I tested my s’mores in my Cosori Air Fryer Max XL 5.8QT and the marshmallows were toasted in about 3-4 minutes. I would start checking your marshmallows at the 2 minute mark to make sure they are still on your graham crackers and that they are not starting to get burnt. If your marshmallows aren’t toasted enough in 4 minutes, keep air frying in 1 minute increments until they are to your liking.
- The key to this air fryer s’mores recipe is to make sure the marshmallows don’t fly off the graham crackers while air frying. Slice the marshmallows in half exposing a sticky center. Place the sticky side of the marshmallows on the graham crackers so that they adhere together.
- Get creative with your s’mores! While it’s best to only air fry the graham cracker and marshmallow, you can customize with additional toppings after they come out of the air fryer. Fresh berries, nutella, peanut butter, caramel sauce, or strawberry sauce are all great options.
- I don’t find it necessary to line the bottom of the air fryer basket with a parchment paper liner or aluminum foil. These s’mores don’t make a big mess, since the gooey marshmallows stay on top of the graham cracker and you remove the s’mores before the melted chocolate can start to drip down.
Recipe FAQs
Yes! Feel free to make more or less s’mores in your air fryer. I’ve made just one before for myself and more to feed guests. I find my air fryer can accommodate about 9 s’mores comfortably.
No. Typically, air fryer s’mores, or any s’mores really, are not gluten-free because they are made using graham crackers, which contain wheat flour. However, I’ve created this air fryer s’mores recipe using gluten-free graham crackers making it gluten-free!
I used a combination of Hershey’s chocolate and Reese’s peanut butter cups for this recipe. However, any type of milk chocolate bars, dark chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, and white chocolate are all good options. You could also top the remaining graham cracker with fudge sauce or nutella instead of using a square of chocolate if you prefer. I don’t recommend using chocolate chips as they’ll fall off the s’mores before melting.

- The air frying time is an estimate based on my air fryer.
