Ingredients

1 cup chocolate chips (choose between semisweet or milk chocolate for desired sweetness)

1 cup mini marshmallows (plus extra for topping, if desired)

1 cup crushed graham crackers (reserve additional for garnish)

½ cup unsalted butter (equivalent to 1 stick, melted)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for a hint of warmth)

A pinch of salt (to enhance flavors)

Optional toppings: chocolate drizzle (melted chocolate), additional mini marshmallows for extra gooeyness

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your dip bakes evenly and achieves that melty texture.

Prepare the Graham Cracker Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, crushed graham crackers, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture until it is thoroughly blended, creating a cohesive graham cracker crust that will be the foundation of your dip.

Layer the Ingredients: Select a cast-iron skillet or a suitable oven-safe baking dish. Spread half of the graham cracker mixture evenly across the bottom, forming a sturdy base. Next, sprinkle the chocolate chips uniformly over this layer, allowing them to create a luscious chocolate experience. Follow with an even layer of mini marshmallows, and finally, add the remaining graham cracker mixture on top to complete the layering.

Bake the Skillet Dip: Place your prepared skillet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you want the chocolate to be fully melted and the marshmallows to turn a beautiful golden brown.

Add Garnishes: Once baked to perfection, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. If you’d like to take it up a notch, drizzle warm melted chocolate over the top, and add a sprinkle of extra crushed graham crackers along with a few more mini marshmallows for a delightful touch.

Serve and Enjoy: Allow the dip to cool for about a minute before diving in. Serve while warm, accompanied by various dipping options such as whole graham crackers, crunchy pretzels, or fresh fruit slices for an exciting mix of flavors and textures.
