8-Minute Skillet S’mores Dip

by
  1. When I want dessert but I don’t want a project, I go straight for a skillet dip. This s’mores dip is the fastest way to get that campfire vibe—melty chocolate, toasted marshmallows, and crunchy dippers—without leaving the kitchen. It’s warm, gooey, and somehow always disappears faster than I expect.

I love this for last-minute guests, movie nights, or those evenings when I’m craving something sweet and cozy. The ingredient list is short, it takes one pan, and the oven does the “magic” part while I set out graham crackers and call it a day.

Why you’ll love it

  • Ready in under 10 minutes
  • One skillet = easy cleanup
  • Classic s’mores flavor without the fire
  • Perfect for sharing
  • Easy to customize (peanut butter, caramel, crushed cookies)

Ingredients tips

  • Chocolate: Semi-sweet chips are classic. Milk chocolate makes it sweeter; dark chocolate tastes more “grown up.”
  • Cream: A splash of heavy cream makes the base extra smooth and scoopable. Half-and-half works too.
  • Marshmallows: Minis brown more evenly than big ones. If using big marshmallows, cut them in half.
  • Skillet size: An 8-inch skillet is ideal; a 10-inch works too (it’ll be a thinner layer).
  • Broiler: Watch closely—marshmallows go from golden to burnt fast.

How to make it (method — step-by-step)

  1. Heat the broiler and position a rack near the top of the oven.
  2. Add chocolate chips to an oven-safe skillet and drizzle in cream.
  3. Bake for a couple minutes until the chocolate looks glossy and soft.
  4. Stir gently until smooth and spread into an even layer.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter on top and swirl lightly (optional, but amazing).
  6. Cover with mini marshmallows in a tight, even layer.
  7. Broil briefly until toasted and golden.
  8. Serve immediately with graham crackers, strawberries, or pretzels.

Easy upgrades (choose 1–2)

  • Sprinkle flaky salt on top right after broiling
  • Add crushed graham crackers over the marshmallows
  • Swirl in caramel sauce with the peanut butter
  • Mix in a handful of chopped peanut butter cups

What to serve with it

  • Graham crackers (classic)
  • Strawberries or banana slices
  • Pretzels for salty crunch
  • Vanilla wafers or shortbread

Meal prep + leftovers
This one is best warm. If I do have leftovers, I cover the skillet and reheat in the oven at a low temp until melty again. The marshmallows won’t be as pretty the second time, but it still tastes great.
