Recipe tips and variations:

-Try other classic American snacks in the air fryer! Oreos, donuts, and pop tarts all work well.

-For the fried Oreos recipe in the air fryer, simple coat them in a batter that includes some Bisquick, then toss them in the air fryer. Use a toothpick to help flip them half way through so they cook and then air fry them up.
