Melted Chocolate and Toasty Marshmallows!!! This is a hit for your next party or just for your family. Who says it's only for camping out? This was made in the oven very quickly and came out perfectly delicious and perfect all year round. A few minutes in the oven and a few minutes to prep and you have a delicious most fun dessert to serve. Serve it with graham crackers or graham cracker sticks and watch it disappear. You can also mix it with peanut butter chips for a little bit different spin on S'mores. All I can say is yum!
Happy Memorial Day and Happy Summer!
Ingredients:
app. 1 regular size bag of chocolate chips, you can use semi-sweet, milk chocolate, peanut butter chips or any combo.
Marshmallows- start out with a whole bag -- you'll probably use 3/4 of the bag --you can use minis or the large ones but I just used regular sized this time which are readily available
Graham Cracker Squares--for dipping
I used an 8 inch cast iron skillet-- it makes for a great presentation and it cooks perfectly-- just be very very careful with serving it because skillet will be very hot -- careful supervision with this one
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and spray the cast iron pan with cooking spray ( this will help with clean up) Pour the chips you're using in an even layer on the bottom of the skillet. Bake for3-4 minutes or until chocolate chips are melted . Watch closely because you don't want to burn. Using an oven mitt --remove the skillet from the oven and stir the chocolate around then cover the top with the marshmallows completely. Bake for another 4-5 minutes or until marshmallows are browned on top. ( see photo) Serve immediately with graham cracker squares ---only tip is to be very careful , because the dip and the pan will be very hot!!!! you'll have to supervise with little ones and even some of the over anxious adults. You can let it rest for about 4-5 minutes before serving. But it should be served hot.
*if you don't have a skillet you may use another oven-safe baking dish like a 9x13 pyrex would work . Chocolate does melt more evenly in cast-iron skillet and it retains heat better.
*you can adjust the amounts of chocolate and marshmallows to your liking, and the size of the skillet. Some of these photos show the jumbo sized marshmallows which will work just as well or you can cut them in 1/2.
*use whatever kind of chips you like, and any kind of marshmallows you like -- mini marshmallows work well here too.
