Oven S’mores Dip Recipe: Gooey Chocolate, Toasted Marshmallows

This quick 5-minute Oven S’mores Dip brings the best parts of campfire s’mores indoors. Learn how to make an irresistible, gooey marshmallow and chocolate dip under the broiler with just four ingredients.

I’ll admit it: I’m not a huge fan of camping — the dirt, shared bathrooms, and bugs are not my favorite. What I do love, though, is the food. Planning dutch oven meals and foil-packet dinners excites me, and classic campfire s’mores are always the highlight. The great news is you don’t need to be outside to enjoy them. This Oven S’mores Dip recreates that roasted-marshmallow, oozy-chocolate experience right in your kitchen.

What is S’mores Dip?

S’mores dip is a simple, shareable dessert made by melting chocolate in a shallow oven-safe pan, topping it with toasted marshmallows, and scooping up the warm mixture with graham crackers. It captures everything you love about a s’more — gooey marshmallow and warm melted chocolate — without the fuss of an open flame. Because the chocolate is combined with a touch of cream to form a quick ganache, it stays silky and dippable longer than a traditional campfire s’more.

Ingredients

These four ingredients are all you need for a fast, crowd-pleasing s’mores dip. The heavy cream is the small but essential addition that turns melted chocolate into a smooth ganache that stays melted and creamy.

• Chocolate – Any kind works: dark, milk, or white. Dark gives richer flavor, milk keeps the classic s’mores profile, and white is a sweeter twist.
• Heavy cream – The secret to a smooth, long-lasting melted chocolate. A small splash turns the chocolate into ganache so it stays dippable.
• Marshmallows – Use large marshmallows for best texture and browning; mini marshmallows can produce an odd texture when toasted.
• Graham crackers – For scooping. You can try cinnamon or chocolate-flavored crackers if you want a variation.

How to Make Broiler S’mores Dip

This recipe takes only a few minutes and delivers warm, gooey results. Follow these tips for reliable success every time.

• Preheat the broiler on high. The broiler browns the marshmallows quickly from above for the authentic toasted look and flavor.
• Tear or chop the chocolate into even pieces and spread them in the bottom of an oven-safe pan so they melt evenly.
• Add the heavy cream to the chocolate before broiling. The amount of cream depends on the chocolate: about 2 tablespoons for dark chocolate, 1½ tablespoons for milk chocolate, and 1 tablespoon for white chocolate.
• Place the pan under the broiler for 2–3 minutes, then remove and stir until the chocolate and cream form a smooth ganache.
• Arrange marshmallows on their sides to form an even layer over the chocolate, leaving tiny gaps so the chocolate-to-marshmallow ratio stays balanced.
• Return the pan to the broiler and watch closely — toasted marshmallows typically take about 1.5–2 minutes to become golden brown; a few extra seconds can burn them.
• Remove the pan and serve immediately with graham crackers. Take care to protect the hot pan handle when serving.

FAQ

• Can I use a regular oven instead of a broiler? Yes. Use a high temperature like 400°F and keep a close eye to avoid burning the marshmallows or chocolate. The broiler is faster and browns the top more effectively.
• What pan should I use? Any oven-safe pan is fine. Stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic baking dishes, or disposable aluminum pans work well. Avoid nonstick pans in high heat.
• Can I reheat leftovers? Toasted marshmallows don’t always reheat well; try reheating briefly in a low oven or microwave, but fresh is best.
• Can I use chocolate chips? Yes. Chocolate chips work but often contain stabilizers that help them keep shape; you may need slightly less cream.
• What pan size is best? This recipe is written for a small 6-inch pan that serves about 3–4 people. For an 8-inch pan, increase chocolate and cream by about 50% and add more marshmallows to cover the surface.
