Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the center of the oven for even heating.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with graham cracker crumbs until well combined and slightly moistened. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch oven-safe skillet or baking dish to create a graham cracker base.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the graham cracker crust, covering the entire surface. Make sure the chocolate chips are distributed uniformly for consistent melting.
- Place the skillet or baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the chocolate chips have completely melted and become smooth.
- Remove the dish from the oven and carefully spread the melted chocolate evenly using a spatula if needed.
- Sprinkle the mini marshmallows over the melted chocolate layer, covering the entire surface. Try to arrange them in a single, even layer.
- Return the dish to the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. The marshmallows should become golden brown and slightly puffy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Drizzle vanilla extract over the top for additional flavor.
- Serve immediately while warm, using graham crackers, cookies, or fruit for dipping. Enjoy the gooey, chocolatey dessert!
Tips
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the richest flavor - semi-sweet or milk chocolate work best.
- Watch the broiler carefully to prevent marshmallows from burning; they can go from golden to burnt in seconds.
- For extra flavor, try using flavored chocolate chips like dark chocolate or even mint chocolate.
- Ensure your baking dish is oven-safe and can withstand high broiler temperatures.
- Let the dip cool slightly before serving to prevent burning, but serve while still warm and gooey.
- Experiment with different dipping options like pretzels, fresh fruit, or different types of cookies for variety.
- For a fun presentation, serve directly in the skillet for a rustic, inviting look.
