Around here, we love s’mores. This s’mores dip has all the signature chocolate and gooey marshmallow-y goodness that you’d find in a classic s’mores and is a fun alternative when you’re not gathered around the campfire.
And because it requires no sandwiching between graham crackers, it also doesn’t require extra time to wrap all of them in foil. This makes it an easy oven baked 10 minute recipe!
I love turning classic desserts into sweet, velvety dessert dips. You get all the flavor of s’mores without the fuss.
I’ve done it with brownie batter dip as well as cookie dough dip, so I knew s’mores dip would be just as amazing.
What comes out of the oven is a layer of melty chocolate topped with toasty golden marshmallows, puffed up and waiting to be deflated with a graham cracker dipper, fresh fruit, and whatever other tasty dippers you are serving it with.
Why you’ll love this recipe:
- When a campfire isn’t possible, or when you want a fun decadent dessert to serve year-round, this baked chocolate and marshmallow dip is exactly what you’re looking for.
- This is super easy to make it’s barely a recipe. It’s made with just 2 ingredients plus butter for greasing the skillet. Anything else is suggested dippers.
- Whip this up in just 10 minutes. Great for an impromptu girls’ night, last-minute guests, or to satisfy your sweet craving any night of the week.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do marshmallows melt in the oven?
The insides do! They toast up nice in the oven. Golden toasted marshmallows are toasted on the top get soft and gooey on the inside, but hold their structure until they’re dipped into.
Can I make this smores dip recipe ahead of time?
You can certainly assemble it ahead of time, but you wouldn’t get that initial hot skillet that would help melt the chocolate chips.
Once assembled, keep it at room temperature covered in plastic wrap, until you’re ready to bake it.

S’Mores Dip Ingredients and Possible Substitutes
The full list of ingredients and quantities is found in the printable recipe card below.
- Butter. Unsalted or salted, it’s up to you. It’s just used to grease the baking dish, cast-iron pan, or skillet you’re using.
- Chocolate Chips. Regular or mini chocolate chips are what I use, but you can also use semi-sweet chocolate chips instead. Dark chocolate is also great! Aim for good quality chocolate for best results and easy melting. You can also go for a chocolate bar (hershey’s milk chocolate bars are likely your best bet). Basically, any type of chocolate that you love will work great!
- Mini Marshmallows. Large marshmallows can also be used.
- Dippers: Graham crackers, biscoff cookies, pretzel chips, strawberries
Recommended Equipment/Tools
- Oven safe skillet (I use a cast iron pan)
- Spatula
- Platter for serving dippers

This next part is only a photo tutorial of the recipe steps. The full list of ingredients, quantities and instructions can be found in the printable recipe card below.
Get prepped
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat an empty 8-inch cast iron skillet in the oven for 5 minutes.
Make the dip
Remove the skillet from the oven, then add the butter and melt, then use a brush to grease the bottom and sides of the skillet. Get it good.
Carefully add the chocolate chips and spread them out in an even layer. Arrange the marshmallows on top. These will puff up, so don’t add too many!
Bake the dip
Bake for 3-4 minutes in the preheated oven until the marshmallows are golden brown on top, and the chocolate is melty. Keep a close eye on it, you don’t want it to brun!
Serve
Remove from the oven and allow the dip to cool slightly, then serve with graham crackers, biscoff cookies, fruit etc.
Kylee’s Notes and Recipe Tips
What to do with leftovers
Keep any leftovers stored in an airtight container for a few days. You can reheat it using the microwave, but be careful not to overheat it or it’ll burn and the chocolate will seize.
This will not freeze well. Please do not do it, my friends.
Substitutions/Additions
I like the sweetness of milk chocolate in the layer of chocolate chips, but if you prefer semi-sweet, you can use it instead.
Swirl in a scoop of peanut butter into the melted chocolate for a peanut butter chocolate s’mores dip recipe. Swapping some chocolate chips for peanut butter chips would be a neat idea too.
