I think I just created my favorite stuffed date recipe…
These S’mores Stuffed Dates are gooey, chocolatey, and totally addictive!
Is there anything more nostalgic than roasting s’mores by a campfire? The melty chocolate and gooey marshmallow combo sandwiched between crunchy graham crackers is a genius idea!
But if you’re like me and want a healthier twist on classic s’mores, then trust me, you’re going to love these (maybe even more than the real deal). These vegan s’mores stuffed dates are about to become your new go-to summer dessert!
Sweet, juicy medjool dates are stuffed with chocolate chips and a marshmallow, then toasted in the air fryer until perfectly melty, soft, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Finally, finish them off with a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for crunch. So simple, so good!

Ingredients You’ll Need

- Medjool Dates: These large, juicy dates are naturally sweet and caramel-like—perfect for stuffing!
- Dark Chocolate: Use dairy-free chocolate chips or a chunk of chocolate from your favorite vegan chocolate bar.
- Vegan Marshmallows: If you’re vegan, make sure your marshmallows are vegan. Both mini and regular-sized marshmallows work (if using regular, cut them in half).
- Graham Crackers: Crushed on top for that classic s’mores crunch. I use gluten-free graham crackers.
How To Make S’mores Stuffed Dates
- Stuff the Dates: Fill each pitted date with a few chocolate chips (or a piece of chocolate bar), then tuck in a marshmallow.
- Air Fry: Place the stuffed dates in the air fryer and cook at 400°F for 3–4 minutes, or until the marshmallow is toasted and gooey.
- Top with Graham Cracker Crumbs: Remove from the air fryer and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers. Enjoy!
Are Dates Good For You?
Yes—they’re basically nature’s candy and loaded with nutrients, like potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, and vitamins like B6 and K. Plus, they’re rich in fiber. A dessert that doubles as a nutrient boost? Sign me up!
Tips for the Best S’mores Stuffed Dates
- Use soft, fresh medjool dates. Fresh medjool dates are sweeter, softer, and way better than dried dates.
- Don’t over-air fry. I find that 3–4 minutes is usually perfect.
- Cut marshmallows. If you’re using large marshmallows, slice them in half to fit inside the date.
- Serve warm. There really isn’t anything better than a warm stuffed date, when the chocolate is melty and the marshmallow is gooey—pure bliss!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these without an air fryer?
Yes! Broil them in the oven for about 2 minutes. Keep a close eye on them so the marshmallows don’t burn.
Where can I buy vegan marshmallows?
I use Dandies or Trader Joe’s vegan marshmallows.
