Improving on Perfection
It’s hard to beat chocolate and marshmallow melting together in between two crunchy graham crackers. But this Skillet S’mores Dip recipe might just have improved upon perfection.

What do you need to make Skillet S’mores Dip?
We love this flavor combo so much, I once looked up who invented s’mores. And what do you know! It was the Girl Scouts who first paired a toasted marshmallow with a chocolate bar and graham crackers. Smart cookies! And now you can get that s’mores flavor without a fire. All you’ll need is:
- Chocolate Chips – I recommend using high quality, good melting chocolate chips for the optimal melting and dipping. You can use milk chocolate, semi sweet chocolate or even dark chocolate. Just use your favorite chocolate!
- Mini Marshmallows – I like to use mini marshmallows because they’re easy for dipping into to get a marshmallow or two with each dip. You could certainly use regular size marshmallows instead. They will just take a little longer to melt.
- Dippers – Graham cracker sticks, pretzels, vanilla wafers and cookies all make great dippers.
- Cast Iron Skillet – this recipe is made in a mini cast iron skillet, but you could double or triple the recipe and make it in a larger cast iron skillet for a crowd.
How to Make Skillet S’mores Dip
- First, preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Then place the chocolate chips in a mini (5.4-inch) cast iron skillet or oven-safe skillet and place the marshmallows on top.
- Bake for about 10 minutes or until the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted and the chocolate is melty.
- Serve with dippers like graham cracker sticks, pretzels, vanilla wafers and cookies. Enjoy!
5 Ways to Roast Marshmallows for S’mores
No campfire? No problem! There are so many easy ways to to make s’mores without a full flaming fire. You can make s’mores using your fireplace, gas stovetop, oven or grill to get those marshmallows roasted to perfection. A microwave works in a pinch, too!
- Fireplace: A fireplace is as close to a campfire as it gets! Light the fireplace and roast the marshmallow on a long skewer over the fire, but not in it! You want it to be close enough to roast the outside of the marshmallow and slowly melt the inside. Roast to desired toastiness! Be careful not to let the marshmallow drip into your fireplace.
- Gas stovetop: Simply skewer your marshmallows and use the flame just as you would with a real fire. And always, always supervise children when making s’mores with fire!
- Oven: Just top a graham cracker (or whatever you’re using as your base) with one or two marshmallows, and place it in the oven underneath the broiler for a minute or so. If you’re using this method, make sure to watch the marshmallows closely underneath the heat, because they will roast quickly.
- Grill: If we already have the grill going for our meal, we love making s’mores on the grill for dessert! Turn the grill to high heat and roast the marshmallows on a long skewer over the hot flame until of desired toastiness.
- Microwave: You won’t get a roasted marshmallow when you make a s’more in the microwave, but it will be melty! Place a graham cracker, piece of chocolate and a marshmallow on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 10-15 seconds, watching it carefully as the marshmallow will puff up. Remove from the microwave and top with another graham cracker. These are best enjoyed right away!
