Ingredients
  

Chocolate base
  • 2 cup chocolate chips Use standard chocolate chips for an even melt.
  • 2 cup mini marshmallows Choose mini for faster, more even toasting.
  • 1 Graham crackers for dipping Serve as-is for dipping alongside the skillet.

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Build the dip
  1. Spread the chocolate chips in the bottom of a cast iron skillet to form an even layer. Keep the surface as level as possible so the melt is uniform.
  2. Top the chocolate evenly with the mini marshmallows. Distribute them across the whole surface so every bite has toasted marshmallow.
  3. Place the skillet on a campfire grate over medium heat or suspend over coals for gentle, steady warming. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the chocolate melts completely and the marshmallows are golden and toasted, with visible browning on top.
  4. Remove from the heat and serve immediately with graham crackers for dipping. Serve while the chocolate is still flowing so crackers pick up gooey layers.

Notes

Pro tip: keep the heat at medium so the marshmallows toast without scorching the chocolate—move the skillet slightly if one side browns faster. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days; rewarm in the skillet over low heat until loosened, but expect the texture to be less silky. Freezing isn’t recommended for best texture. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free graham crackers while keeping the chocolate and marshmallows the same.
