Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science)
The air fryer cooks with hot circulating air. That moving heat quickly toasts the marshmallows while melting the chocolate underneath.
The marshmallows puff up because the air inside them expands when heated. At the same time, the sugar on top starts to caramelize, giving that golden toasted flavor.
Using chocolate chunks instead of a large chocolate bar helps the chocolate melt evenly and faster.

Common Mistakes

Step 1: Add the Chocolate
Add 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chunks to a small round ceramic baking dish. Spread them into an even layer.

Step 4: Serve
Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the air fryer. Serve immediately with 8 broken graham crackers for dipping.
