Quick Facts

• Yield: Serves 6
• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Cook Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Graham crackers, for dipping
• Optional: black food coloring or edible marker for ghost faces

How I Make It

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a small oven-safe dish (an 8-inch skillet or pie dish works great), combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Give it a gentle stir to combine.

Step 2:

Pop the chocolate and cream into the oven for about 5 minutes, keeping a close eye so it melts smoothly without burning. Once melted, stir gently until silky and well combined.

Step 3:

Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the melted chocolate. To get that classic golden-brown marshmallow color, place the dish back in the oven for another 3-5 minutes—or just until the marshmallows puff up and get toasted.

Step 4:

For the ghostly twist, if you’re feeling creative, quickly draw little ghost faces on a few marshmallows using an edible marker or tiny brush with black food coloring right after taking the dish out.

Step 5:

Serve immediately with graham crackers for dipping—because the best part is scooping up that rich, gooey chocolate and marshmallow mix!

Variations & Tips

• Swap semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk or dark chocolate based on your preference.
• Add a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-savory twist.
• Use flavored marshmallows (like pumpkin spice) for extra Halloween vibes.
• For a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut cream.
• If your marshmallows brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil and continue baking just until melted.

How I Like to Serve It

This dip is perfect for Halloween movie nights or a spooky party appetizer. Serve with an assortment of dippables like graham crackers, pretzel sticks, or even apple slices to switch things up. Bonus points for festive plates and little ghost decorations to match!

Notes

• Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat gently in the oven or microwave, watching closely to keep marshmallows from burning.
• If the dip separates after reheating, stir gently to bring it back together.

Closing: This Ghostly S’mores Dip is my go-to for an effortless dessert that never fails to bring smiles and sticky fingers.
