Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Easy S’more Dip
Step 1: Combine Ingredients
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups of milk chocolate chips, 3 tablespoons of milk, and 1 ⅓ cups of miniature marshmallows. Mix them well to ensure the marshmallows are evenly distributed among the chocolate chips. This combination creates a creamy base for your Easy S’more Dip that will delight everyone.
Step 2: Melt the Mixture
Heat the saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly for about 2-3 minutes. Watch as the chocolate chips melt into a luxurious, silky mixture while the marshmallows start to soften. Continue stirring to prevent the chocolate from scorching on the bottom of the pan, until the dip is completely smooth and combined.
Step 3: Transfer to Dish
Once melted to perfection, carefully pour the chocolate mixture into a 9-inch pie dish. Use a spatula to smooth the mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish. This will be the scrumptious base for your Easy S’more Dip, ready for the final heavenly touch of marshmallows.
Step 4: Add Extra Marshmallows
Sprinkle the remaining 4 cups of miniature marshmallows over the top of the melted chocolate mixture. Make sure the marshmallows are evenly distributed for an inviting, toasty finish. Their fluffy texture will contrast beautifully with the creamy chocolate beneath and create that signature s’mores experience.
Step 5: Broil for Toastiness
Preheat your oven to broil setting while your dip is prepared. Once hot, place the pie dish in the oven for 2-4 minutes, keeping a close eye. Watch for the marshmallows to turn golden brown and slightly puff up, indicating they are perfectly toasted. Remove them promptly to prevent burning and to preserve their fluffy goodness.
Step 6: Serve Warm
Immediately serve your Easy S’more Dip with graham crackers for dipping. The warm, gooey chocolate and toasted marshmallows come together for an irresistible treat. Encourage family and friends to scoop and enjoy this interactive dessert, making delightful memories together over this nostalgic classic.

My marshmallows burned while broiling. How can I prevent that?
Very! Marshmallows can be finicky under the broiler since they brown quickly. I recommend setting a timer for 2 minutes when you broil them, but stay close by to keep an eye on them. If you notice them coloring too fast, you can always rotate the pie dish to ensure even cooking.
Are there any dietary considerations for this dip?
Definitely! For those with dietary restrictions, you can modify it easily. Use almond milk or a non-dairy milk for lactose-free options, and choose dark chocolate chips for a vegan-friendly version. Just be mindful if you are serving this to pets, as chocolate is toxic to dogs.
