Let’s be clear, there is nothing remotely healthful about this recipe. BUT, Skillet S’mores Dip is 100 percent fun, and there is a place for that in a healthful diet. It’s an idea that came from Rosie, who spotted it on Instagram and did up a pan on a cold winter night when sitting by a campfire was not in the cards. We all agreed it was a keeper for special occasions, most notably when we have company, since this is an easy dessert for a crowd. The first time we made it, our batch was bigger than our appetites so we reheated the leftover chocolatey goo, poured some Rice Krispies into the pan, gave it a good stir, pressed it into a block, and cut it into chewy squares.
Skillet S'mores Dip
This is a special-occasion treat that is equal part s'mores and chocolate fondue. It makes a fun dessert for a party, and can be scaled up (or down) depending on how many are seated at your table.
Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 teaspoons butter
- 1/2 to 2/3 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
- 10 to 12 marshmallows , cut in half crosswise
- Graham crackers for dipping
Instructions
-
Set a rack in the upper third of the oven. Put a small, oven-safe skillet or baking pan (7 or 8-inch) into the oven and preheat to 450 degrees.
-
Once the skillet is hot, remove from the oven and add the butter. Swirl it around so it coats the bottom of the pan.
-
Scatter the chocolate chips over the bottom of the pan. They should cover the entire surface, so adjust the amount depending on the size of pan.
-
Top the chocolate with the marshmallows, cut side down (they should cover the surface of the pan).
-
Put the pan back into the oven and cook until the marshmallows are golden brown.
-
Serve immediately with graham crackers for dipping.
