Air Fryer S'mores Dip
Craving S’mores but don’t have a campfire? This Air Fryer S’mores dip gives you all the gooey, chocolatey goodness of classic s’mores in just a few minutes. With melted semi-sweet chocolate and golden, toasted jumbo marshmallows, this easy dessert is perfect for a quick family treat, movie night, or anytime you want something sweet.
I love pairing these with my cinnamon sugar tortilla chips whenever I have them at hand.
I've been using my Air Fryer for all sorts of recipes- particularly my favorite Air Fryer baked apples and Air Fryer wedges for breakfast.
But honestly, I've never used it to make a dip, and I was quite skeptical while trying out this recipe. I'm so glad I did though, because it turned out SO good.

Why This Recipe
- It takes just a handful of ingredients to make this dip, and there's no need for a campfire or outdoor grill.
- It’s an easy dessert that kids and adults can enjoy together- just like my Neiman Marcus bars.
- You can change up the dippers depending on what you have at home. I love using fresh fruit, graham crackers and pretzels.
Recipe Ingredients
Chocolate chips: Semisweet chocolate chips work best and create that rich, melted chocolate layer underneath the marshmallows.
Jumbo marshmallows: For that soft and gooey texture.
Substitutions & Variations
- Use milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips or a combination to make different variations of the dip.
- Peanut butter chips make a delicious nutty variation. I like to chop up some of my brown sugar candied walnuts and sprinkle them on the top before air frying for a crunchy twist.
How to Make Air Fryer S'mores Dip
Step 1: Sprinkle chocolate chips at the bottom of the each dish.
Step 2: Cover the chocolate layer with marshmallows.
Step 3: Place into the preheated Air Fryer basket.
Step 4: Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until it turn golden brown and slightly toasted.
Shahida's Tips & Tricks
- Use oven-safe dishes that fit comfortably inside your Air Fryer basket.
- Make sure the chocolate is spread evenly across the bottom of each dish and arrange the marshmallows over the chocolate so they cover the surface.
- Keep a close eye on the marshmallows while they cook because they brown quickly.
- Serve the dip immediately for the best gooey texture.
How to Serve Air Fryer S'mores Dip
Serve this dip warm with classic graham crackers for dipping, or set out a variety of options such as pretzels and fresh fruit. Strawberries, banana slices, and apple slices all work particularly well with the melted chocolate and toasted marshmallows.
For a fun dessert spread, put the warm individual dishes in the center of the table and let everyone choose their favorite dippers. Team these up with some gluten free gingersnaps and banana donut holes.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
This dip is best eaten immediately while the chocolate is melted and the marshmallows are warm and gooey. If you have leftovers, let them cool, cover them, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving, keeping in mind that the marshmallows may not have quite the same texture as when freshly made.
The chocolate needs to be underneath the marshmallows, where it can heat from the air fryer. If it isn't as melted as you'd like after the marshmallows are toasted, allow the dish to sit for a minute or two before serving. The residual heat will continue softening the chocolate.
Air fryers cook quickly, and marshmallows can brown in a matter of seconds. Keep a close eye on them during the final minute and remove the dip as soon as they reach your preferred level of golden brown.
