Ingredients
Scale
Equipment
- 10”-12” iron skillet
Dip Ingredients
- 4 graham cracker sheets, crushed into crumbs
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus 1 tablespoon, divided
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 large banana, sliced (or 1/2 cup banana chips)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Crush about four graham cracker sheets into crumbs and lightly grease your 10”-12” cast iron skillet. Evenly sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the bottom of the skillet to create the base layer.
- Add chocolate chips: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the graham cracker crumbs in the skillet, laying the groundwork for the gooey chocolate layer.
- Layer marshmallows: Spread 1 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate chips, covering the entire surface of the skillet for that signature melty marshmallow topping.
- Add fresh fruits and nuts: Arrange the sliced banana and strawberries evenly on top of the marshmallows. Sprinkle the chopped pecans and the remaining 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips over the fruits for added crunch and chocolate bursts.
- Broil indoors or heat outdoors: If cooking indoors, place the skillet in the oven under the broiler set to HIGH. Broil for 3-4 minutes until the marshmallows puff up and turn golden brown. If cooking outdoors, place the skillet on a grate over indirect fire heat (such as a grill or campfire). Avoid direct flames to prevent burning. Heat until the marshmallows melt gently.
- Cool and serve: Remove the skillet from the oven or fire and let it cool for about 5 minutes to slightly set. Use graham cracker rectangles to scoop up the warm, melty dip and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures.
Notes
- Be careful when broiling as marshmallows can burn quickly; watch closely during the last minute.
- For a nuttier flavor, substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds as preferred.
- Use fresh fruits like sliced bananas and strawberries for a fresh twist, or opt for banana chips if fresh bananas are not available.
- This dip is best enjoyed warm; leftovers can be reheated briefly but may lose the melty texture.
- When cooking outdoors, place the skillet over indirect heat to avoid burning the chocolate and marshmallows.
