Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Graham crackers for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the oven is at the right temperature for creating the perfect melted s'mores dip.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with graham cracker crumbs until well combined. This will create a delicious base for your dip.
- Spread the graham cracker and butter mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9-inch oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Press down gently to create a firm, even layer.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the graham cracker base, covering the entire surface. Use a mix of milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips for the best flavor.
- Carefully distribute the mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate chips, covering them completely. Try to create an even layer for uniform melting.
- Place the skillet or baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Watch carefully to ensure the marshmallows turn golden brown and puffy without burning.
- Remove from the oven when the marshmallows are perfectly toasted and the chocolate is completely melted. The top should be golden and slightly caramelized.
- Let the dip cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to set slightly. This prevents burning and makes dipping easier.
- Serve immediately with graham crackers for dipping. The dip is best enjoyed warm when the chocolate is still gooey and the marshmallows are soft.
- Optional: Garnish with additional graham cracker crumbs or a light dusting of cocoa powder for extra presentation.
Tips
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the richest flavor - a mix of milk and semi-sweet works wonderfully.
- Watch the marshmallows carefully while baking to achieve that perfect golden-brown color without burning.
- For an extra flavor boost, try using flavored graham crackers or adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top.
- Ensure your oven-safe dish is preheated to create even melting of chocolate and marshmallows.
- Serve immediately for the best texture - the dip is most delicious when warm and gooey.
- For a fun variation, try using different types of chocolate or adding a layer of caramel.
- If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, a ceramic baking dish works just as well.
- Let the dip cool slightly before serving to prevent burning, but serve while still warm.
