Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate
- 5–6 bars of 1.55 oz Hershey’s chocolate, broken into pieces
Marshmallows
- 1 bag of large marshmallows
For Serving
- Graham crackers, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough for melting the chocolate and toasting the marshmallows evenly.
- Prepare Chocolate Base: Break the Hershey chocolate bars into pieces along the lines and spread them evenly on the bottom of an 8 or 9 inch cast iron skillet. If using a different type of pan, grease it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Be careful not to stack pieces too thickly for even melting.
- Add Marshmallows: Layer the marshmallows on top of the chocolate, placing them close together but not compressed, as they will expand when heated.
- Bake: Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Keep a close eye starting around 5 minutes to avoid burning the marshmallows. They should turn golden brown and bubbly on top.
- Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and allow the dip to rest for about 5 minutes. This rest time lets the chocolate underneath continue melting and thickens slightly for the perfect dipping texture.
- Serve: Serve the warm S’mores Dip immediately with graham crackers for dipping. Scoop up the gooey marshmallow and melted chocolate mixture for a delicious treat.
Notes
- Using a cast iron skillet helps with even heat distribution for melting chocolate and toasting marshmallows.
- Watch the marshmallows closely to prevent burning as they can quickly go from toasted to burnt.
- If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, a greased oven-safe pan will work as a substitute.
- For a fun variation, you can add peanut butter or caramel underneath the chocolate layer before baking.
- Best served warm for gooey texture; leftovers can be reheated gently in the oven.
