(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Chocolate Base: In an oven-safe skillet or baking dish, I evenly spread the chocolate chips.
Pour the Milk: I pour the milk over the chocolate chips to ensure a smooth, creamy base when it melts.
Add Marshmallows: I sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the top of the chocolate chips, making sure each part is covered for the perfect marshmallow-to-chocolate ratio.
Bake: I bake the dip in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and the chocolate is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Once the dip is done, I remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy: I serve the dip immediately with graham crackers or cookies for dipping. I dip the crunchy treats into the gooey s’mores dip and savor the irresistible combination of melted chocolate and toasted marshmallows.

Variations
If I want to get creative with this recipe, there are plenty of fun variations I can try:
Nutty Twist: I can add some chopped nuts, like walnuts or pecans, to the chocolate before baking for an extra crunch.
Peanut Butter Delight: Adding a dollop of peanut butter to the chocolate base creates a delicious peanut butter and chocolate combo.
Flavored Marshmallows: For a unique flavor, I can try different types of marshmallows, such as caramel, vanilla, or even strawberry.
S’mores Bars: If I prefer a more portable version, I could bake the dip in a baking dish, allow it to set, and then slice it into bars for easy serving.
Storage/Reheating
I usually serve this dip immediately while it’s hot and gooey, but if I have leftovers, I can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. To reheat, I place the dip in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until the chocolate and marshmallows are warm and melty again. Alternatively, I can heat it in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between to get the perfect consistency.

FAQs
How can I make S’mores Dip without an oven?
If I don’t have an oven, I can make the dip in a microwave-safe bowl. I melt the chocolate chips and milk in the microwave, stirring every 20-30 seconds. Once the chocolate is melted, I top it with the marshmallows and microwave it for an additional 20-30 seconds to toast the marshmallows.
Can I use other types of chocolate for this dip?
Yes, I can use any type of chocolate I prefer. While milk and semi-sweet chocolate are the most common, dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even a combination of chocolates can work great for different flavors.
How do I prevent the marshmallows from burning?
To prevent the marshmallows from burning, I keep an eye on them while baking. If the marshmallows start to get too dark too quickly, I can reduce the heat or cover the dip with foil for the first few minutes of baking and then remove it to let the marshmallows brown.
Can I make S’mores Dip ahead of time?
Yes, I can prepare the chocolate and milk base in advance and refrigerate it. When I’m ready to serve, I top it with marshmallows and bake it in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
Can I serve this dip with other treats besides graham crackers?
Absolutely! I love dipping things like cookies, fruit slices, or pretzels into the S’mores Dip. Anything crunchy and slightly salty pairs wonderfully with the gooey chocolate and marshmallows.
