In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter and 1 cup cream cheese. Stir until combined and set aside.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate Chips

In a separate pan, melt 2 cups of milk chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of heavy cream. You can also use a microwave-safe bowl and microwave the chocolate chips on high for about 1-2 minutes. Be sure to stir occasionally until smooth.

Step 4: Mix Together and Spread in Baking Dish

Add the melted cream cheese mixture into the melted chocolate and stir together until completely mixed. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

Substitutions and Variations

A classic campfire treat gets upgraded in this luxurious dessert dip.

There are a few ways to switch up this recipe and make it your own gooey goodness. One fun variation is to swap out the milk chocolate chips for dark or white chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.

If you’re feeling spicy, add in a pinch of cayenne pepper or a sprinkle of chili powder to give your S’mores Dip a kick. You can also try adding in some chopped nuts for texture, like almonds or pecans.

For those with a sweet tooth, consider using flavored graham crackers instead of plain ones. Try cinnamon or chocolate graham crackers to add some extra sweetness to your dip.

If you’re looking for a lighter option, you can substitute the cream cheese with Greek yogurt or use light cream cheese and heavy cream for a slightly healthier twist.

Lastly, if you’re feeling adventurous, try making this dip on the grill! Place the cast iron skillet directly on the hot grill grates and bake until melted and bubbly. It’s like having that classic campfire experience right at home.

Whatever variations you choose to experiment with, just remember that the key is always in the balance of flavors that make good food great!

Serving and Pairing

This S'mores Dip will transport you to your childhood campfire days. — This S’mores Dip will transport you to your childhood campfire days.

When it comes to serving this S’mores Dip, there are a number of options to choose from. The most classic pairing is with graham crackers – just break them apart into small pieces and dip away! You could also try using pretzels or even potato chips for a savory twist.

As for drinks, I’d recommend something cold and refreshing to balance out the richness of the dip. Lemonade or iced tea would be perfect for a summer day, but you could also serve this with a cold glass of milk for a more traditional S’mores experience.

For presentation, I like to serve the dip in a cast iron skillet straight from the oven. It’s impressive and rustic on a dessert table and keeps the dip warm for longer. For outdoor gatherings and picnics, you can transfer the dip into a portable container and keep it warm using an insulated bag.

No matter how you choose to serve it, this gooey S’mores Dip is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. Get creative with your dippers and enjoy this sweet and salty treat all year round!

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating

Guests will be begging for the recipe after they try this drool-worthy S'mores Dip. — Guests will be begging for the recipe after they try this drool-worthy S’mores Dip.

The best way to make this S’mores Dip recipe ahead of time is to prepare the mixture and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to dive into the chocolatey goodness, you can bake it fresh in the oven.

To store any leftover dip, let it cool down to room temperature, then cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it into an airtight container. It will keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, use the oven again (the microwave will just make it go all gooey and sticky). Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the dip for about 5-10 minutes or until heated through.

A little tip I’ve learned over the years is that this dip also freezes really well! If you know you won’t eat it all within 3 days, simply transfer any leftover dip into a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months. To defrost, leave it in the fridge overnight and then reheat in the oven when you’re ready to enjoy it again.

Enjoying some gooey S’mores Dip all on my own is a bit too much indulgence for me, so I often make bigger quantities than needed when I know I’ll have guests coming over or hosting a party. This way, I can simply reheat what’s left over on another occasion and save some prep time on dessert. Trust me when I say that there are fewer things more satisfying than pulling out some leftover S’mores Dip from your fridge or freezer and indulging in its gooey deliciousness, sans any campfire required!

Tips for Perfect Results

No need for a bonfire, just grab some graham crackers and dip away!

As a scribe for a home chef who just loves throwing parties, I’ve learned a lot about making the perfect S’mores Dip Recipe over time. Here are some tips to help ensure your dip turns out perfectly every time:

Firstly, use high-quality ingredients for this recipe. The better the ingredients, the better the taste! Go for good-quality milk chocolate chips and full-fat cream cheese, and avoid low-fat cream cheese as it won’t melt as well.

Secondly, make sure to preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). This is the optimal temperature for melting the chocolate and marshmallow topping to create that perfect gooey texture.

Thirdly, be careful not to overbake your dip. One of the biggest mistakes people make is baking their dip for too long resulting in stiff and unappetizing messes. Be sure to only bake until the top layer of marshmallows are golden brown and puffy (~5 minutes).

Fourthly, if you don’t have an oven-safe skillet at home, a glass baking dish will work just fine. Just keep in mind that it might take slightly longer to get that golden-brown crisp on top.

Additionally, when serving your dip, place graham crackers on the side and let your guests dip them in directly using their hands. It adds an element of nostalgia and the more hands-on feel of a traditional campfire s’mores experience.

Lastly, If you want to add an extra touch of decadence, sprinkle some sea salt flakes over the top after coming out of the oven. The salt enhances sweetness and adds another level of tasty dimension.

In summary, by following these few simple tips, you can quickly whip up delicious S’mores Dip Recipe without a campfire!

FAQ

Before we wrap things up, let’s go through some frequently asked questions about this S’mores Dip recipe to help clear up any confusion and ensure you get perfect results every time.

What can I use instead of graham crackers for S mores?

Here are some tasty and crunchy snack options that will surely excite your taste buds: saltines, Ritz crackers, Snack Factory Pretzel Crisps, pretzels, potato chips (the ridged or kettle-cooked kind would be ideal!), and Pringles which are my personal favorite due to their perfect blend of saltiness and sweetness.

How do you melt marshmallows in the oven?

To get perfectly toasted marshmallows, preheat your oven to the broil setting at 525F degrees and place them on the middle oven rack. Keep a close eye on them for 1-3 minutes until they turn golden brown on top. Avoid using the top rack, which is too close to the broiler, as it can cause the marshmallows to burn quickly. It’s crucial to stay near the oven while they are toasting to prevent them from burning.

What does the S in S mores stand for?

The term “smores” is derived from the phrase “some more”, which refers to the irresistible taste of this beloved treat that always leaves you wanting another bite.

How do you melt S mores?

For a decadent s’mores experience, opt for using a melting block. Simply heat it up until it’s sizzling, and place a graham cracker topped with a piece of chocolate on it. As you toast your marshmallows, the heat from the block will warm up the cracker and melt the chocolate just right, ensuring a deliciously gooey bite once you add your ‘mallows. This technique yields a perfectly melted, heavenly treat for your next party or gathering.
