Why this smores dip works
This smores dip works because it is so easy. Honestly it requires few ingredients and an oven before your dip is ready to eat. A few tips to help you this the best smores dip ever…
- Place the skillet in the oven while it preheats. This will make the pan hot so the chocolate starts to melt early on.
- Grease the pan with butter. Clean up will be so much easier Trust me.
- Cut the marshmallows in half. They will stick to the chocolate and not over puff and make a mess.
How to make smores dip
First you need ingredients—chocolate chips, marshmallows, and graham crackers—the basics. A tablespoon of butter will be helpful too as it will prevent the marshmallows from sticking to the skillet. In other words, it will make clean up easier!
Grease an 8-inch iron skillet with butter. Sprinkle chocolate chips or chopped chocolate across the bottom of the pan. Cut regular-sized marshmallows in half and layer them (cut-side down) over the chocolate chips. Bake and enjoy with graham crackers!
How long do you put smores dip in the oven?
Bake smores dip for 5 to 7 minutes in a 450° F oven. The smores dip is done when the marshmallows are golden brown on top and the chocolate is melted. For a more toasty finish, put the oven on broil the last minute or two and keep a close eye on the marshmallows so they don’t burn (unless you prefer them that way).

A lip smacking dip. Wondering if it can be served with some ice cream?

Thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday 179 – this looks very naughty but nice!
Lennon G. says
Could you make this in something other than a cast iron skillet, like a glass pie dish or baking dish? Thank you!
Haley says
Hi! Yes, you certainly can if it is a similar size. Make sure you grease the pan since the marshmallows are sticky!
Celia Shaw says
This was delicious! My family loved this and I think heating the skillet up before is a great tip!
Bailey C. says
I made this last night an it was the bomb! instead of the gram cracker I used cookies. best idea EVER! THANK you so much for this recipe!
Carly says
This is a great and smart idea! I live in an apartment so I can’t make traditional S’mores right now, so this dip is perfect. I used a 6 inch skillet instead (which is perfect for 2) and I had to eyeball the chocolate chips instead. Such a simple and delicious recipe!
Courtnie says
I tried making this tonight and the chocolate ended up seizing on me. Not sure what I did wrong, but I’m willing to try again another time since it looks just too darn yummy!
