Ingredients for Air Fryer Snickers Pastries

Gathering your ingredients is the first step to culinary success! For these delightful Air Fryer Snickers Pastries, you’ll need:

Crescent roll sheet: This flaky dough is the magical base that cradles the candy. Feel free to use a generic brand if you’re looking to save a penny.
Snickers candy bars: These provide the chocolate, caramel, and nougat goodness that makes this treat sing! You could substitute with your favorite chocolate bar if you want to jazz things up or cater to preferences.

Butter: Melted for a golden-brown finish, butter adds lush richness. You can swap it for a dairy-free version if you’re looking for a plant-based option.
Powdered sugar: While optional, a light dusting before serving enhances the visual appeal and adds a touch of sweetness that appeals to the eye.

Don’t worry about the exact quantities; I’ve included those at the bottom for easy printing. Now, let’s get cooking!

How to Make Air Fryer Snickers Pastries

Now that you have all your ingredients ready, let’s dive into making these scrumptious Air Fryer Snickers Pastries! Follow these simple steps to achieve that delightful, gooey dessert.

Prepare Your Air Fryer Basket

First things first, let’s get your air fryer basket prepped. I love lining the basket with parchment paper. This simple trick prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. Be sure to cut the parchment so it fits snugly in the basket.

Prepare the Crescent Roll Dough

Next, grab your crescent roll sheet and place it on a clean, nonstick surface. With a pizza cutter, slice the dough into 9 squares. Why 9? It’s the perfect amount to wrap those Snickers pieces beautifully! You want them big enough to fold, so keep it consistent.

Wrap the Snickers Pieces

This is where the magic happens! Take each Snickers piece and place it in the center of a square of dough. Gently fold the corners over the candy and pinch the seams to seal it tightly. Make sure no candy is peeking out! A tight seal keeps all that gooey goodness from escaping during cooking.

Air Fry the Pastries

Time to air fry these delightful pastries! Arrange the wrapped Snickers in your prepared basket. Depending on your air fryer size, you might need to do this in batches. Brush the tops with melted butter for that perfect golden color. Air fry them at 370°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you want them crispy and golden brown!

Optional Topping

If you’re feeling a bit fancy, dust the warm pastries with powdered sugar before serving. It adds just the right touch of sweetness and an elegant finish. They may vanish quickly, so be sure to make enough for everyone!

Tips for Success

Make sure to seal the dough tightly to prevent leaks during cooking.
Experiment with different candy bars for unique flavors, like Milky Way or Twix!

Don’t overcrowd the air fryer; leave space for air circulation for even cooking.
Check for doneness a minute early since air fryers can vary in temperature.
Serve these pastries warm for the best gooey experience!

Equipment Needed

Air Fryer: The star of the show! If you don’t have one, a conventional oven will work, but you’ll miss that crispiness.

Parchment paper: Great for preventing sticking. You can use a silicone mat instead if you have one.
Pizza cutter: Perfect for slicing the dough. A sharp knife works just as well!

Variations for Air Fryer Snickers Pastries

Nutty Indulgence: Add a sprinkle of chopped peanuts inside with the Snickers for an extra crunch that amplifies the nutty flavor.

Peanut Butter Bliss: Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on the crescent roll dough before placing the Snickers piece for a rich and creamy twist.
Chocolate Lovers: Use chocolate crescent rolls instead of regular ones for an even more chocolatey experience!
Healthier Option: Swap out the Snickers for a dark chocolate bar with nuts or try using a lower-sugar option to cut down on calories.

Fruit Fusion: For a fruity flair, replace the Snickers with slices of banana or strawberries, adding a drizzle of chocolate sauce afterward.

Serving Suggestions

Pair these pastries with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert experience.
Serve with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk for that classic combination.

Presentation matters! Arrange on a colorful plate and sprinkle with fresh fruit for a pop of color.

FAQs about Air Fryer Snickers Pastries

Can I use other candy bars in this recipe? Absolutely! While Snickers are delightful, feel free to swap them out for your favorite candy bars like Milky Way, Twix, or even Reese’s. Each will add its unique flavor to the pastry!

What if I don’t have an air fryer? No worries! You can bake these pastries in a conventional oven. Just preheat your oven to 375°F, place the wrapped pastries on a lined baking sheet, and bake for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

How do I store leftover pastries? If you happen to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days. For longer storage, consider refrigerating them, but they are best enjoyed fresh!

Can I prepare these pastries ahead of time? Yes! You can assemble the pastries and place them in the refrigerator for a few hours before air frying. Just be sure to let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cooking for best results.

Can I make these pastries vegan? Indeed! To make vegan Air Fryer Snickers Pastries, use a dairy-free crescent roll dough and plant-based butter. Substitute Snickers with a vegan chocolate bar to complete the delicious treat!
