There’s nothing quite like the nostalgic taste of s’mores—crispy graham crackers, melty chocolate, and toasted marshmallows. But what if you could enjoy that same campfire treat in a warm, gooey dip form?
This S’mores Dip is the ultimate crowd-pleaser, perfect for parties, cozy nights in, or anytime you crave a sweet fix. Ready in minutes and made with just a few ingredients, this dessert is as fun to make as it is to eat!
Recipe Overview
- Flavor: Rich chocolate, sweet marshmallows, and buttery graham cracker crunch.
- Texture: Silky, melty, and perfectly dippable.
- Ease: Quick, no-fuss, and requires no baking (if using a microwave option).
- Versatility: Great for gatherings, movie nights, or a fun family dessert.
Ingredients List
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (high-quality for the best melt)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (or large marshmallows cut in half)
- 1 tbsp butter (helps prevent sticking and adds richness)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (enhances the chocolate flavor)
- Graham crackers, for serving (the classic pairing!)
Optional Add-ons:
- A pinch of sea salt for a sweet-salty twist
- Peanut butter drizzle for extra decadence
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep the Pan: In a small oven-safe skillet or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter over low heat (or microwave for 20 seconds).
- Melt the Chocolate: Add chocolate chips and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
- Add Marshmallows: Sprinkle mini marshmallows (or arrange halved large ones) evenly over the melted chocolate.
- Toast the Topping:
- Oven Method: Broil for 1-2 minutes until marshmallows are golden (watch closely!).
- Torch Method: Use a kitchen torch to lightly brown the tops.
- Serve Immediately: Place the skillet on a heat-safe surface and serve with graham crackers for dipping!
Tips for Success
- Don’t Overcook: Marshmallows burn quickly—keep an eye on them under the broiler.
- Use Quality Chocolate: Cheap chocolate may seize or taste waxy.
- Double the Batch: This disappears fast, so make extra for a crowd!
Serving Suggestions
- Pairings: Serve with fresh fruit (strawberries, bananas) or pretzels for contrast.
- Presentation: Garnish with a drizzle of caramel or crushed graham crumbs.
- Fun Twist: Let guests assemble their own mini s’mores bites!
Storage Tips
- Room Temp: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be covered and stored for 1 day.
- Reheating: Microwave in 10-second bursts to re-melt.
FAQs
Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet?
Yes! Milk chocolate will be sweeter—adjust to taste.
Can I make this ahead of time?
It’s best made fresh, but you can prep the chocolate layer and add marshmallows just before serving.
What if I don’t have an oven-safe skillet?
Use a microwave-safe dish and broil in a baking pan for the toasting step.
Conclusion
This S’mores Dip is pure magic—simple, indulgent, and guaranteed to bring smiles. Whether it’s for a party or a solo treat, this recipe is a must-try. Make it, share it, and watch it disappear!
