I started making this air fryer s’mores dip after my kids asked for s’mores on a day when lighting a fire outside was not going to happen. It gives them the same melted chocolate and toasted marshmallows without the campfire or a pile of sticky skewers.
The whole dessert takes about five minutes in the air fryer. I usually put graham crackers and sliced apples on the table, then everyone dips straight into the warm chocolate and marshmallows.
It is especially handy for movie nights or when the kids have friends over. One small dish is enough for several people to share, and there is very little cleanup afterward.
Easy Air Fryer S’mores Dip Recipe
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1½ cups milk chocolate chips
- 2½ cups large marshmallows
- 2 ounces milk chocolate, broken into squares, optional
- Graham crackers, for serving
- Plain cookies, for serving
- Apple slices, for serving, optional
Instructions
- Choose a 6 or 7-inch air fryer-safe baking dish that fits comfortably inside your air fryer basket.
- Spread the chocolate chips evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Arrange the marshmallows closely together over the chocolate. Press them down lightly so they remain in place while the air begins circulating.
- Place the dish in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F for 4 to 6 minutes, checking after 3 minutes.
- Remove the dip when the marshmallows are puffed and golden and the chocolate underneath has melted.
- Place a few chocolate squares over the hot marshmallows, if using. Let the dip rest for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Serve immediately with graham crackers, cookies, or apple slices.
Notes
- Air fryers cook at different speeds, so watch the marshmallows closely. They can brown very quickly.
- Do not preheat the air fryer with loose marshmallows inside. The strong airflow may cause them to lift toward the heating element.
- Pressing the marshmallows into the chocolate helps hold them in place.
- Semisweet or dark chocolate may be used for a less sweet dip.
- If the chocolate has not fully melted, lower the temperature to 300°F and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- This dip tastes best while warm, before the chocolate begins to firm.
