All hail s'mores dip! Silky smooth chocolate ganache, topped with a pile of toasty marshmallows and homemade graham crackers for dunking.

I am thinking that we should make s’mores the official mascot of July. Who’s in? 

It’s hot and steamy outside, flip flops are my footwear of choice, and easy dishes and menus are a must. I’m grilling everything, from salads to steak, seafood to pizza. But when it comes to dessert, there’s nothing that satisfies kids and adults alike more than S’MORES!

Two hands digging into s'mores dip with graham crackers and marshmallows scattered around.

Seriously, I’ve made cobblers and pies for adults and s’mores for the kids for our outdoor gatherings, and guess what? The s’mores are always gobbled up first (and it’s not just the kids licking melted marshmallows off of their fingers).

Well, today, we are taking this summertime staple and deconstructing it.

Yep, we’re making s’mores even easier to eat (and a teeny bit less messy) by making s’mores dip! We start off with a very easy and classic chocolate ganache, which I prefer to simply melting the chocolate before adding the marshmallows.

Making a ganache means the chocolate part of the dip is creamier and more dippable (is that a word?) because it doesn’t seize up as quickly as it cools. It also makes the leftovers (as if you’ll have any) easier to scoop out later and reheat (do this in the microwave).

I like a nice toasty golden brown marshmallow topping and I find that browning the marshmallows first under the broiler, then switching it to a regular oven for a few minutes, yields the gooiest and meltiest topping ever. 

My last suggestion for the win? HOMEMADE GRAHAM CRACKERS. Yep, they really do make a difference. Sure you can use store-bought (no judgement here), but if you’re looking to wow, make your own. They are flavored with molasses, honey, and a hint of cinnamon, bake up crispy, and have just the right amount of salt to make them super addictive on their own.

So all hail s’mores, the unofficial star of summer!

Let’s make S’mores Dip

Step by step photos showing how to make S'mores Dip. Add warm cream to oven-proof dish (1), add chocolate to cream (2), let stand and then whisk (3), whisk until blended and smooth (4), top with marshmallows and broil/bake until golden brown (6).
  1. Add warm heavy cream to a medium oven-safe baking dish.
  2. Add the chopped chocolate or chocolate morsels to the heavy cream. 
  3. Let the chocolate stand undisturbed for 5 mins and then begin to carefully whisk.
  4. Continue to whisk until smooth and shiny.
  5. Top the chocolate ganache with marshmallows, nestling them tightly. 
  6. Place under the broiler until the marshmallows are golden brown, then continue to cook for a few mins in the oven until the marshmallows are soft and puffed. Serve with graham crackers.

Tips for success

  • You can heat the cream in the baking dish on the stove top or separately and then add it to the dish. Just be sure to heat it until it’s warm and simmering, but not boiling.
  • Let the chocolate stand in the warm cream until very soft and melted before whisking.
  • The ganache should be very smooth and shiny before topping with marshmallows. 
  • I recommend browning the marshmallows first under the broiler, then switching it to the oven to get them extra soft and gooey.
  • Homemade graham crackers for the win! They make this dessert to die for!

Ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 10 oz semi-sweet chocolate (morsels or chopped)
  • 12 oz marshmallows
  • homemade graham crackers (or store-bought)
Instructions
  1. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour into an oven-safe baking dish or cast iron skillet. 

  2. Sprinkle the chocolate morsels into the cream and let stand undisturbed for about 5 mins. Carefully whisk until smooth and shiny.

  3. Preheat your broiler to high. Arrange the marshmallows in a single layer on top of the chocolate ganache, nestling them tightly together.

  4. Broil until marshmallows are puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven, turn off the broiler, and turn the oven on to 350 degrees F. 

  5. Place the s’mores dip back in the oven and let it cook about 5 mins, until the marshmallows are very soft and puffed. Serve immediately with graham crackers for dipping.
