This S’mores Skillet Dip brings the beloved flavors of campfire s’mores straight to your kitchen—no tent, sticks, or open flame required. It’s a decadent, shareable dessert that’s rich in melted chocolate, crowned with golden, gooey marshmallows, and perfectly paired with crisp graham crackers for dipping. In just 15 minutes, you’ll have a warm and indulgent treat that evokes the nostalgia of summer nights around the fire.
Perfect for last-minute gatherings, family movie nights, or anytime your sweet tooth calls, this dip is incredibly simple to prepare. All you need is a small skillet, a few pantry staples, and a hot oven. No mixers, no mess—just melt, toast, and dip. The result? A bubbling layer of smooth, molten chocolate under a marshmallow blanket that toasts up into a lightly crisp, pillowy topping.
What makes this dessert so irresistible is the texture contrast—silky chocolate against fluffy marshmallows, with the crunch of graham crackers to bring it all together. It’s also endlessly customizable. You can elevate it with peanut butter cups, caramel, or even a splash of sea salt for a gourmet twist on the classic.

Servings and Timing:
- Serves: 4–6
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Bake Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- Graham crackers, for dipping
Optional Add-ins:
- Peanut butter cups, chopped
- Caramel drizzle
- Crushed graham crackers for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small (6 to 8-inch) cast iron skillet or oven-safe baking dish, spread chocolate chips in an even layer across the bottom.
- Top with mini marshmallows, covering the chocolate completely.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed and golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them near the end to avoid over-toasting.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately with graham crackers for dipping. Enjoy it hot while the chocolate is melty and the marshmallows are still gooey.
Variations:
- Loaded s’mores: Add crushed graham crackers and a handful of chopped peanut butter cups on top of the chocolate before baking.
- Salted caramel twist: Drizzle with caramel and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt after baking.
- Nutty delight: Swirl in a spoonful of Nutella or almond butter under the marshmallow layer before baking.
- S’mores for grown-ups: Add a dash of bourbon or espresso powder to the chocolate for deeper flavor.
Tips:
- For even melting, use a mix of chocolate chips and chocolate chunks.
- Let the skillet sit for 1–2 minutes after baking for safer dipping (it’s hot!).
- Use long graham cracker segments or thick-cut strawberries for sturdier dipping options.
- Store leftovers (if any!) in the fridge and reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
This S’mores Skillet Dip is the ultimate easy indulgence—warm, melty, and bursting with campfire charm. Whether it’s a cozy night in or a fun party snack, it’s ready in minutes and always a hit.
