S’mores Dip

Jump to Recipe

Enjoy s’mores without the camp fire! This 4-ingredient s’mores dip is super simple to put together and can be heated up and toasted in your oven.

Unlike other s’mores dips, this one has a base of chocolate ganache (chocolate + heavy cream) instead of just melted chocolate. This keeps the chocolate creamier and more dip-able for even longer when it’s sitting out, not to mention it’s much more rich and delicious!

Quick Tips

• Use baking chocolate (broken into small pieces) for the best results on your ganache. Chocolate chips can be used too!
• Let the chocolate sit in the warmed heavy cream for 30 seconds before stirring, then stir until it’s smooth!
• Bake the s’mores dip for 5 minutes on 300 degrees, then broil to toast the marshmallows (check them every 20-30 seconds to ensure they’re not burning!)

Equipment

• Pie plate, 8×8 pan or cast iron skillet for the s’mores dip (I used an 8″ cast iron skillet in these photos)
• A microwave safe bowl or a medium sauce pan
• Food processor or rolling pin (for crushing the graham crackers)

Ingredients

• Chocolate: baking chocolate (coarsely chopped) is recommended for making chocolate ganache, but chocolate chips will work as well. I recommend semi-sweet chocolate, but any kind will work!
• Heavy cream: also known as heavy whipping cream
• Graham crackers: crushed graham crackers are used in the dip, then they can be used for dipping as well
• Regular marshmallows

How to make S’mores Dip

This dessert can be broken down into three simple steps.

1. Make the chocolate ganache
2. Assemble the s’mores dip
3. Bake it!

How to make the chocolate ganache

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Pour heavy cream into a medium microwave safe bowl and microwave until almost boiling. You can also pour the cream into a medium saucepan and heat over the stove as well!

Remove from the cream from the heat and pour the chocolate into the warmed cream. Allow it to sit for 20-30 seconds.

Stir the cream and chocolate together until the mixture is smooth. If lumps of chocolate remain, just re-heat the mixture for another 30 seconds and stir again until smooth.

How to assemble the s’mores dip

Pour the chocolate ganache into your desired pan (8×8, pie plate or small cast iron skillet) and spread evenly (see below for photos).

Use a food processor or rolling pin to crush 3-4 sheets of graham crackers. Sprinkle them over the top of the chocolate ganache.

Place the marshmallows over the top of the graham crackers, placing them as close together as possible.

Baking the s’mores dip

Bake the dip for 3-5 minutes or until the marshmallows soften, then turn the oven on broil to allow the marshmallows to brown. Be sure to check them every 20-30 seconds to ensure the tops aren’t burning.

Remove from the oven and enjoy!

Variations & Substitutions

This s’mores dip is super simple and can also be made in a variety of ways!

• Use stuffed-puffs marshmallows or another marshmallow flavor or shape (s’mores marshmallows, mini marshmallows, etc.)
• I prefer to use semi-sweet chocolate for the chocolate ganache, but you can also use milk chocolate or dark chocolate as well!
• Add a layer of melted peanut butter between the chocolate and the graham crackers for an extra flavor twist!
• Use different graham cracker flavors to dip or use in the s’mores dip!
• Use Chips Ahoy, Oreos or another treat to dip with!

FAQs

Does this dip need to be refrigerated?

Yes. Since the s’mores dip has a chocolate ganache base that contains heavy cream, leftovers should be stored in the fridge. Just pop the dip back in the oven for a few minutes when you’re ready to enjoy it again!
