Labor Day Smores Dip: 5-Step Easy Holiday Recipe


  • Author: Rhea
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

A crowd-pleasing, easy-to-make dessert dip that captures the nostalgic taste of campfire s’mores without the hassle. This golden-brown, gooey skillet dip is ready in just 20 minutes and is perfect for holidays, parties, or last-minute cravings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (250g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 10 oz (280g) large jumbo marshmallows
  • 1 box (14.4 oz) classic honey graham crackers
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt or kosher salt
  • Optional: ½ cup crushed pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
  • Optional: ½ cup crushed mini peanut butter cups

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place your oven-safe skillet on it.
  2. Add the chocolate chips and butter to the skillet. Melt on the stovetop over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy, or place in the oven and stir halfway through.
  3. Arrange the jumbo marshmallows in a single layer over the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage without excessive overlapping. Press them down gently.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, watching closely after 8 minutes. The marshmallows should puff up and turn golden brown.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired.
  6. Serve immediately with graham crackers for dipping.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality chocolate chips like Ghirardelli or Guittard that melt evenly. Avoid stale graham crackers as they will crumble. If your marshmallows are stale, toss them in the oven for 2 minutes before adding. For a darker toast, switch to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, but watch closely to prevent burning. This dip can be made ahead by prepping the skillet and refrigerating; add 1-2 minutes to baking time if starting cold.
