No one can deny that campfire s’mores are a unique treat. Granted, a lot of that is due to environmental factors: fresh air, crackling wood, and sharing a moment with people you (hopefully) like; the s’mores themselves are just a reliably tasty bonus. But not everyone can get to a campfire when they’re craving a gooey mini-dessert sandwich—let alone those who just plain hate the great outdoors. As a city dweller, I’ve researched many methods for producing quality indoor s’mores. Surprisingly, I’ve found that air fryer s’mores rival those made over a campfire.
Airfryer S'mores Recipe | Easy 5-Minute Dessert Trick 🍫🔥
Admittedly, it took me a while to appreciate the charred exterior of campfire marshmallows. As a kid, I absolutely hated that charcoaly taste, and I patiently searched for a fully melted marshmallow with the lightest, most evenly distributed golden color. I basically had to slow cook my marshmallows over a fire, which was tough on my 9-year-old triceps.
If only the air fryer had existed back then. I would have left my brothers in the backyard, chopsticks in hand, and gone straight to my convection oven. If you’ve been searching for the perfect, unroasted marshmallow since you were a kid, your day has finally arrived.
Like all air fryer recipes, these air fryer s'mores are pretty quick to make. They work just as well whether you have an oven-style air fryer or a basket-style air fryer.
