Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 2 cups (about 50 g) large marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons (55 g) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120 g) crushed graham crackers (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Brown the Butter (5-7 minutes): In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons (55 g) of unsalted butter. Stir frequently as it foams and then begins to turn golden brown. When you smell a nutty aroma and see brown flecks, remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Base (5 minutes): Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In your oven-safe skillet or baking dish, evenly spread about 8 oz (225 g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Use a spatula to press them gently into an even layer.
- Add Graham Crackers (Optional Step): For extra crunch, sprinkle roughly 1 cup (120 g) of crushed graham crackers over the chocolate chips.
- Brown the Marshmallows (10-12 minutes): Dip each large marshmallow briefly into the browned butter, ensuring it’s coated but not overly soggy. Arrange the marshmallows tightly over the chocolate (and graham cracker) layer, covering the surface. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until marshmallows are puffed and golden brown on top.
- Final Touch (1 minute): If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the dip right after baking. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes to set slightly before serving.
- Serve: Use graham crackers or sturdy cookies to scoop up the melty, gooey dip. Enjoy immediately for the best texture.
Notes
Watch the marshmallows closely during baking to avoid burning. Use medium heat and stir constantly when browning butter to prevent burning. Large marshmallows work best for browning and gooey texture. Let the dip cool for a few minutes before serving to thicken slightly. For gluten-free, use gluten-free graham crackers or cookies. For vegan, use dairy-free butter and vegan marshmallows.
