Essential Ingredients for Smores Dip

To get the very best results you should use fresh ingredients. High quality chocolate makes a huge difference in how the final texture turns out. Here is what you need to grab from the store

Two cups of high quality semi sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars
One bag of large marshmallows and make sure they are fresh for maximum fluffiness
Graham cracker squares or sliced strawberries or even apple slices for dipping
A small amount of butter to grease your skillet or baking dish

Step by Step Instructions for Your Smores Dip

Follow these simple steps to reach dessert perfection. The total time for this recipe is only about 15 minutes including your prep and the baking time.

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit
Grease a 9 inch cast iron skillet or an oven safe glass baking dish with a little bit of butter
Spread those chocolate chips in an even layer across the bottom of your dish
Arrange the marshmallows on top of the chocolate and pack them in close so you cannot see the chocolate anymore
Place the dish in the oven and bake it for 5 to 7 minutes
Watch that oven closely because you want the marshmallows to turn a perfect toasted golden brown
Remove it carefully using oven mitts and let it sit for about 2 minutes before you start serving

How to Prevent Burning Your Smores Dip

A common point of confusion is how fast marshmallows can go from golden to totally burnt. Every oven is a little bit different so you should start checking the dish at the 4 minute mark. If your marshmallows are browning too fast just move the rack to a lower position. Do not leave the kitchen while this is in the oven or you might regret it.

Expert Tips for the Best Smores Dip

In my experience the chocolate sometimes takes a lot longer to melt than the marshmallows take to toast. To fix this little problem I like to place the chocolate filled skillet in the oven for 2 minutes before I even add the marshmallows. This ensures you get a silky and dippable base. Also you should try using a mix of milk chocolate and dark chocolate for a more complex flavor profile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Smores Dip

Can I make this ahead of time

This dish is definitely best when you serve it immediately. If it sits out too long the chocolate will start to harden up. However you can assemble the whole thing in advance and then just pop it in the oven right when you are ready to eat.

How do I store leftovers

If you actually have leftovers you can scoop them into an airtight container. You can reheat small portions in the microwave for about 15 seconds although the marshmallows will lose that toasted texture they had from the oven.

What can I use instead of graham crackers

Pretzels are amazing because they offer a great salty contrast. Fruit slices like apples or pears also work beautifully if you want a fresher take on the dish.
