A new take on a well-known favourite

While the traditional campfire delicacies have been a favourite for generations, using an air fryer breathes new life into the classic. The rapid hot air circulation in the machine melts the chocolate and marshmallows to perfection, delivering a golden surface with a hint of crispness. The technique captures the essence of campfire treats while offering a modern approach.

It is a perfect blend of the old and the new and is sure to become a staple in your dessert repertoire.

Served with oat biscuits

Oat biscuits are an excellent choice due to their wholesome, nutty flavour and hearty texture. Their robust composition ensures they do not easily break or crumble when you use them to scoop up generous amounts of gooey marshmallow and chocolate dip. The earthy undertones of the oats harmoniously complement the rich, creamy sweetness of melted milk chocolate and marshmallow, creating a balanced and delightful bite that merges indulgence with a hint of rustic charm.

Make it your own

An easy way to mix things up is to use a different biscuit for s'mores dip. You can use graham crackers, digestive biscuits, shortbread, or even chocolate chip cookies. Graham crackers provide a honeyed crunch, digestive biscuits offer a mellow, wholegrain bite, shortbread brings a rich, buttery taste and texture, while chocolate chip cookies introduce bursts of sweet chocolate amidst a crumbly base.

Alternatively, sprinkle the dessert with toppings like chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sauces. S'mores and ice cream is also a delicious combination. For more sweetness, caramel sauce will add a decadent touch, while a raspberry drizzle will add a bright tartness. You can enhance the nutty flavour of almonds, pecans, or walnuts by roasting them before chopping them up.
