3-Ingredient S’mores Dip That Tastes Like a Campfire Without Leaving Your Couch
Look, sometimes you want s’mores, but you also want to not go outside, fight with sticks, or smell like bonfire smoke for three days.
This recipe for s’mores dip is here to solve that problem with a skillet, an oven, and exactly three ingredients 😉
It’s gooey, toasty, chocolatey perfection — and you don’t even need to put on pants to make it. Honestly, it’s dangerously easy. The hardest part is waiting for it to cool enough not to nuke your mouth.
Why This Dip Is Straight-Up Genius
- Only 3 ingredients. Like, how?
- You make it in one pan. Less mess, more melt.
- It’s done in under 10 minutes. No patience required.
- No campfire needed. Sorry, nature.
- People go feral over this stuff. Especially when it’s hot and melty.
It’s the kind of dessert you make when friends randomly show up… or when you’re alone on a Friday and feeling ✨emotionally snacky✨.
What You’ll Need
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet — follow your heart)
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows (or big ones torn up, because chaos is fine)
- Graham crackers, for dipping
Optional drama: add a sprinkle of flaky salt, a spoonful of peanut butter before baking, or a drizzle of caramel after. Not necessary, but wow.
How to Make S’mores Dip Without Starting a Fire
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Grab an oven-safe skillet or baking dish. 8″ works great — cast iron gets you that crispy bottom.
- Dump in the chocolate chips. Spread ‘em out in a thick layer.
- Top with marshmallows. As many as you want. Just cover the top in fluffy goodness.
- Bake for 7–10 minutes until the marshmallows are golden, puffy, and you’re losing your mind over how good it smells.
- Cool slightly (just enough not to burn your face off), then serve with graham crackers for scooping.
No plates. No rules. Just gooey perfection.
S’more Mistakes You Should Probably Avoid
- Burning the marshmallows. Keep an eye on them — they go from golden to “charcoal briquette” real quick.
- Undermelting the chocolate. If the marshmallows are done but the chocolate’s still solid, cover with foil and bake a little longer.
- Using too big a pan. Thin layers = dry dip. Stick to smaller pans for that thick, gooey vibe.
- Letting it sit too long. The whole thing starts to firm up if you don’t eat it while it’s hot. Not a huge tragedy, but the goo factor drops.
S’more Ways to Make It Even Better (If You Dare)
Wanna level up your campfire cosplay?
- Add peanut butter under the chocolate. Or Nutella. Or both. You rebel.
- Use flavored marshmallows. Yes, that’s a thing.
- Mix white & dark chocolate chips. Or go wild with butterscotch.
- Top with crushed pretzels or sea salt for salty-sweet heaven.
- Serve with other dippers. Try strawberries, cookies, or banana slices. No one said it had to be graham crackers.
FAQ: S’mores Dip Edition (Because Questions Will Be Asked)
Q: Can I make this in the microwave?
A: Technically, yes. Use a microwave-safe dish, melt chocolate in short bursts, add marshmallows, and nuke again for 15–30 seconds. It works — just less toasty on top.
Q: What if I don’t have a skillet?
A: Any small oven-safe dish works. A cake pan, a pie plate, a ramekin. It’s not picky.
Q: Can I reheat leftovers?
A: You can, but it’s never quite as gooey. Microwave in short bursts and stir. Or just eat it cold like an animal. I support you either way.
Q: Can I use a chocolate bar instead of chips?
A: Totally. Break it up and melt it down the same way.
Q: How many people does this serve?
A: Depends how strong your willpower is. Officially: 4. Realistically: 2. Secretly: just you.
Q: What if I want to make a bigger batch?
A: Just double everything and use a larger dish. It scales easily — unlike your self-control.
