Swish S’mores Dip is your go-to dessert when you crave that campfire classic without stepping outside. It's a delightful, gooey combination of chocolate and marshmallows that’s ready in a snap. Perfect for cozy nights in or whenever you need a quick, crowd-pleasing treat!
Semisweet chocolate chips form the rich, gooey base of our dip, giving it that deep chocolate flavor we all adore. Heavy cream is the secret to making the chocolate extra smooth and luscious. A touch of salt balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors. Vanilla extract adds a subtle depth to the chocolate, making it more aromatic and well-rounded. Finally, mini marshmallows create that iconic s'mores topping, turning golden and toasty in the oven.
This dip pairs beautifully with a variety of dippers. Besides graham crackers, try it with fresh strawberries, banana slices, or even pretzels for a sweet-and-salty combo. It’s also a hit at parties when served with a selection of dippers for guests to choose from.
First, preheat your oven to 350°F to get it nice and hot for melting chocolate. Grab a medium-sized oven-safe dish — something like a pie dish works great here. Spread the semisweet chocolate chips evenly across the bottom. Next, pour the heavy cream over the chocolate chips and sprinkle in the salt. This will help the chocolate melt smoothly in the oven.
Pop the dish into the oven for about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you want the chocolate to start melting, but not completely liquefy just yet. Once it’s out, stir the chocolate and cream together until you have a silky, smooth ganache. This part is pure bliss — watching the chocolate and cream meld together is like magic.
Now, for the fun part: cover the chocolate ganache with a layer of mini marshmallows. Make sure they cover the entire surface so that every bite has that perfect s'mores balance. Slide the dish back into the oven for another 3-5 minutes. The marshmallows should puff up and turn a delicious golden brown. Be ready to take it out just as they get toasty.
Let it cool for a couple of minutes. This is the hardest part because it smells so good, but trust me, you don’t want to burn your mouth. Serve it up with graham crackers for dipping, and dive into the gooey goodness!
