Let’s Make it together
Preheat your air fryer
Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) so it’s nice and hot when you’re ready to bake your dip. This ensures even melting!
Prepare the baking dish: Choose an oven-safe dish that fits comfortably in your air fryer and lightly grease it with coconut oil or non-stick spray.
Add the chocolate chips: Pour a generous layer of chocolate chips into the bottom of your greased dish—this will be the luscious base of your dip.
Top with mini marshmallows: Scatter mini marshmallows over the melted chocolate until they create a fluffy blanket—don’t be shy; more is merrier!
Air fry it up!: Place the prepared dish into the preheated air fryer basket and cook for about 5-7 minutes until everything is bubbly and golden brown—keep an eye on those marshmallows!
Scoop and serve!: Once finished, carefully remove the dish from the air fryer (it’s hot!) and let it cool slightly before digging in with graham crackers.
Now you’ve created something truly special—a dessert that marries nostalgia with modern convenience. Enjoy every gooey bite while reminiscing about those campfire nights spent with friends!
