This skillet dip captures everything you love about the classic campfire treat—melted chocolate, charred marshmallow, and graham cracker crunch—but comes together in about five minutes flat. No fire pit required, just a skillet and a craving for something sweet and ridiculous.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 810 full sheets graham crackers, broken into dippable pieces
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 9 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows (about one 10-ounce bag)
  • Optional: pinch of flaky sea salt for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter pieces. Stir to distribute the butter among the chips.
  3. Pour the chocolate chip and butter mixture into a 10-inch cast iron skillet (or baking dish). Spread into an even layer.
  4. Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the chocolate layer. Do not press them down.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the marshmallows are puffed and golden brown and the chocolate is bubbling around the edges. Start checking at 8 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes on a trivet or hot pad.
  7. Serve immediately with graham cracker pieces for dipping.

Notes

For best results, use fresh marshmallows. The butter helps the chocolate stay silky and dippable. If marshmallows brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil. Can be assembled up to 2 hours ahead and baked when ready. For a quicker version, use the broiler on high for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully.
