S’mores Dip Ingredients

For the Ganache
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips – These are crucial for a rich chocolate flavor; you can use dark chocolate for a more intense experience.
• Heavy cream – Blends perfectly with chocolate for a smooth, creamy texture; coconut cream is a great dairy-free alternative.
For the Topping
• Mini marshmallows – They create that fluffy topping we love; larger marshmallows cut in half work well if you can’t find minis.
For Dippers
• Graham crackers, cookies, or pretzels – They make delicious dippers, but feel free to get creative with apple slices or chocolate-covered cookies for added fun.

This s’mores dip is as delightful as it is easy to prepare, making it perfect for any occasion!

How to Make S’mores Dip

Prepare Ganache: Start by placing semi-sweet chocolate chips in a mixing bowl. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream using 30-second increments until it’s hot but not boiling.
Combine: Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips, letting them sit for about 2-3 minutes. After that, stir gently until smooth and glossy, creating a luscious chocolate ganache.
Assemble Dip: Carefully transfer the ganache into a 9-inch oven-safe dish. Top it generously with mini marshmallows, ensuring even coverage for that perfect toasty finish.
Broil: Adjust your oven rack to the top third position and broil the dip for approximately 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning, as marshmallows can toast quickly.
Serve: Once beautifully toasted, remove the dip from the oven and serve it immediately with your choice of dippers, like graham crackers or pretzels.

Optional: Drizzle some caramel sauce over the marshmallows before broiling for extra indulgence.

Make Ahead Options

These delightful S’mores Dip options are perfect for busy home cooks looking to save time! You can easily prepare the ganache and assemble the dip up to 24 hours in advance, storing it covered in the refrigerator to maintain its luscious texture. Just be sure to top it with mini marshmallows right before you’re ready to broil and serve. When it’s time for your movie night or gathering, simply broil the prepared dip for about 2-3 minutes until the marshmallows are golden brown. This way, you’ll have a fantastic dessert that tastes just as delicious as if you made it fresh, allowing you to enjoy your time with family and friends!
