Skillet Smores Dip Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Pro Tips

1. It really helps if you line your skillet with parchment paper or lightly grease it before you start. That way the melted chocolate and marshmallows dont stick and clean up is way easier.
2. Watch those marshmallows like a hawk once you put the skillet in the oven. They go from perfectly toasted to burnt in a blink so keep checking around the 8 minute mark.
3. When you break up your graham crackers, do it roughly so you get a mix of big and small pieces. This adds a cool texture when you’re dipping them into the warm, gooey mix.
4. For a fun twist, try drizzling any extra melted chocolate on top after baking and even sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt. The salt really brings out the flavors even though the recipe seems so simple.
