This easy gooey s’mores dip in a cast iron skillet captures the magic of a campfire s’more without the logistics of building a fire. With melted chocolate and toasted marshmallows, it’s a quick, crowd-pleasing dessert that tastes exactly right every single time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 7–8 ounces chocolate bars (e.g., Hershey’s milk chocolate)
  • 2 cups regular-sized marshmallows (e.g., Jet-Puffed)
  • Graham crackers (for serving)
  • 1 teaspoon butter (for greasing skillet)
  • Optional: flaky sea salt, peanut butter, Nutella, or fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a grill, heat to medium.
  2. Grease the bottom and sides of an 8-inch or 10-inch cast iron skillet with 1 teaspoon of butter.
  3. Break chocolate bars into pieces and arrange in a single even layer across the bottom of the skillet.
  4. Place marshmallows on top of the chocolate in a single layer, slightly touching each other, leaving space around the edges.
  5. Bake for 8–10 minutes until chocolate is mostly melted and marshmallows are puffed and starting to brown.
  6. Optional: Switch oven to broil and broil for 1–2 minutes until marshmallows develop dark, blistered spots. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Let the skillet rest for 2 minutes to cool slightly.
  8. Serve immediately with graham cracker pieces for dipping.

Notes

Use bar chocolate instead of chips for smoother melting. Don’t overcrowd marshmallows—they need space to puff. Watch carefully under the broiler; marshmallows can burn in seconds. Best served fresh; leftovers don’t reheat well. For a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate and vegan marshmallows. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free graham crackers.
