What is S'mores Dip?
S'mores dip is a delectable delicacy that captures the essence of traditional s'mores in a melted and dippable form.
Rather than sandwiching the ingredients between graham crackers, the dip combines melted chocolate and toasted marshmallows into a single, creamy dish ideal for dipping.
When the s'mores dip is done, serve it warm, directly from the oven. Graham crackers, which can be divided into little pieces for convenient dipping, go incredibly well with it.
You could also use your favorite cookies or other sweet goodies as dippers. Every dip is exquisite thanks to the smooth, melted chocolate and the gooey, caramelized marshmallows.
S'mores dip is an excellent dessert alternative for gatherings, parties, or any other occasion where you want to indulge in the comforting flavors of s'mores in a more portable and sharing fashion.
It's truly a crowd-pleaser that will have everyone eagerly dipping crackers or cookies into the dip for a delightful and irresistible treat. And in terms of nutritional information, it's a lot lower in calories than other treats you can buy from the store so that's definitely a win-win situation!

Tips for Making the Best Smores Dip Ever
Keep an eye on the marshmallows: Once the dish is in the oven, keep a close watch on the marshmallows. They can quickly go from perfectly toasted to overly charred.
Serve immediately: S'mores dip is best enjoyed straight out of the oven melty chocolate is warm and the marshmallows are gooey. Serve it immediately with your choice of dippers for the ultimate indulgence.
Arrange the marshmallows evenly: Arrange the marshmallows in a single layer on top. Make sure they are evenly spaced and cover the entire surface. This allows for even toasting and ensures all the marshmallows get that delicious golden brown color.
Recipe Variation Ideas for Smores Dip
- Nuts: Sprinkle some chopped nuts, such as toasted almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts, over the melted chocolate before adding the marshmallows. The nutty crunch adds a delightful texture and flavor to the dip.
- Peanut butter: Swirl in some creamy peanut butter into the melted chocolate for a delightful twist. The combination of chocolate, marshmallows, and peanut butter creates a heavenly flavor reminiscent of a classic peanut butter cup.
- Cookies: Instead of graham crackers, use your favorite cookies for dipping. Try chocolate chip cookies, shortbread cookies, or even Oreos for an extra chocolatey twist. The different cookie flavors and textures add a fun and tasty element to the dip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Use a Different Type of Chocolate in the S'mores Dip?
Absolutely! While the recipe traditionally calls for chocolate bars or chocolate chips, you can experiment with different types of chocolate based on your preference. Whether you choose dark, milk, or even white chocolate, feel free to get creative and tailor the dip to your taste.
Can I Make S'mores Dip Without an Oven?
Yes, you can! If you don't have access to an oven, you can still enjoy S'mores Dip by using alternative methods such as a campfire for a classic version.
Can I Make S'mores Dip Ahead of Time?
While S'mores Dip is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, you can certainly prepare some elements ahead of time. You can pre-measure the chocolate and marshmallows, and have them ready to assemble in the skillet or dish when you're ready to bake. However, it's recommended to bake the dip just before serving to ensure the marshmallows are warm, gooey, and lightly toasted.
Can I Use a Different Type of Dipping Item Instead of Graham Crackers?
Absolutely! While graham crackers are the classic choice for dipping in S'mores Dip, you can get creative with your choice of dippable items. Try using cookies like digestive biscuits, shortbread, or even chocolate chip cookies. Pretzels, sliced fruit, or even marshmallows themselves can also be delicious alternatives for dipping.
Can I Make S'mores Dip Without a Cast Iron Skillet?
Yes, you can use alternative baking dishes if you don't have a cast iron skillet. A small baking dish or oven-safe dish would work just fine. The key is to ensure the dish is oven-safe and can withstand the heat of the oven.
How to Store Leftover Smores Dip
Leftover s'mores dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To keep it from drying out, place a layer of plastic wrap directly over the top before closing the lid.
Reheat the dip in a 350-degree oven for 5-10 minutes before serving. To reheat it in the microwave, heat it in 30-second intervals until warmed through.
I don't recommend freezing this dip since it'll change the texture and consistency of it. Make it fresh since it's so easy!
