How to Make Layered S’mores Dip

This recipe comes together in just a few easy steps. Here’s how:

1. Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or skillet with butter—you can also use a ceramic loaf pan for a pretty presentation (like the Ashley Elaine fluted loaf pan!).

2. Melt the Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream (if using). Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until the mixture is melted and smooth.

Tip: Don’t overheat—chocolate can seize if microwaved too long. Stir gently and patiently.

3. Layer 1 – Chocolate Base

Pour the melted chocolate into your greased baking dish and spread it evenly to create a rich, creamy base layer.

4. Layer 2 – Strawberries

Evenly layer the sliced strawberries over the chocolate. The juicy berries add a refreshing contrast to the rich chocolate and toasted marshmallows.

5. Layer 3 – Marshmallows

Sprinkle the mini marshmallows across the top. Be generous—these will puff and toast into that irresistible golden layer we all know and love.

6. Bake to Perfection

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed and golden brown.

Watch closely during the last couple minutes to avoid burning.

7. Finish with Cookie Crumbs

Once out of the oven, let the dip cool slightly, then sprinkle crushed brown butter chocolate chip cookies generously over the top. This final layer adds a warm, buttery crunch that’s absolutely divine.

How to Serve Your S’mores Dip

Presentation takes this recipe from fun to fabulous. Serve your s’mores dip on a tray surrounded by a beautiful selection of dippers:

• Graham crackers – A s’mores classic
  
• Fresh strawberries – Echo the flavors inside the dip
  
• Brown butter cookies – For extra indulgence
  
• Mini marshmallows – Because you can never have too many
  

Place your warm baking dish at the center of the tray and surround it with colorful bowls or piles of dippers. This setup makes it ideal for sharing and creates a stunning focal point for your table or coffee station.

Tips & Variations

Want to make it your own? Here are some fun ways to customize this s’mores dip recipe:

• Use dark chocolate for a richer, more grown-up flavor.
  
• Add peanut butter to the melted chocolate layer for a Reese’s-inspired version.
  
• Swap strawberries for raspberries or banana slices for a fruity twist.
  
• Add a splash of vanilla to the chocolate while melting for deeper flavor.
  
• Top with flakey sea salt to balance the sweetness.
  

Make-Ahead & Storage

You can prep the layers ahead of time, then bake just before serving. Assemble everything up to the marshmallow layer, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Bake and top with cookie crumbs right before guests arrive.

Leftovers (if you have any!) can be stored in the fridge and gently reheated in the microwave or oven. The texture may change slightly, but the flavor will still be delicious.
