This 3-ingredient s’mores dip is the kind of easy dessert that earns a permanent spot in the sleepover and movie-night rotation. It captures everything people love about classic campfire s’mores—melted chocolate, toasted marshmallows, and crisp graham crackers—without needing a fire pit, and baking it in the oven gives you that irresistible gooey center under a beautifully golden top.
Serve this warm right from the skillet with plenty of graham crackers for dipping, and if you want to round it out, add strawberries, pretzel crisps, vanilla wafers, or sliced bananas on the side. A glass of cold milk or hot cocoa makes an especially nostalgic pairing, and for parties, setting it out on a board with extra dippers turns it into an easy dessert centerpiece.
3-Ingredient S’mores Dip
Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips or 1 standard milk chocolate bar, broken into pieces
3 cups large marshmallows or enough to cover the top in a single layer
8 to 10 graham cracker sheets, for serving
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spread the milk chocolate evenly in the bottom of a small cast iron skillet or other oven-safe baking dish.
2. Arrange the marshmallows snugly over the chocolate in a single layer, covering as much of the surface as possible.
3. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until the marshmallows are puffed and deeply golden on top and the chocolate underneath is melted.
4. Let the dip cool for 1 to 2 minutes, then serve immediately with graham crackers for dipping.
Variations & Tips
Use the right dish: A small cast iron skillet is ideal because it holds heat well and helps keep the dip warm at the table, but any similar-sized oven-safe baking dish will work. Just make sure the chocolate layer isn’t too thick, or it will take longer to melt evenly.
Broiler option: If you want a darker toasted top, bake until the marshmallows are puffed, then place the skillet under the broiler for 30 to 60 seconds. Watch it closely, because marshmallows can go from golden to too dark very quickly.
Chocolate swaps: Milk chocolate gives the most classic s’mores flavor, but semisweet chocolate, chopped chocolate bars, or even a mix of milk and dark chocolate all work well. You can also tuck a spoonful of peanut butter under the marshmallows for a richer variation.
Make it party-friendly: Set out graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzel crisps, and fruit so guests can choose their own dippers. This recipe is best eaten hot from the oven, so plan to serve it right away for the best gooey texture.
