Bake the flag dip
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Set up a cast iron skillet for direct baking.
- Add milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and heavy cream to a cast iron skillet. Keep everything in an even layer for consistent melting.
- Stir gently to combine until the chips start melting and look glossy. Stop once the mixture is uniform, without overworking it.
- Arrange marshmallows evenly over the chocolate layer. Scatter them so they cover the surface and will toast in place.
- Create a flag design using blueberries in one corner. Place the blueberries tightly together to form a neat blue field.
- Use sliced strawberries to form red stripes. Lay them in parallel lines across the remaining marshmallow area.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until marshmallows are golden and gooey. Watch for the marshmallows to puff and lightly brown at the edges.
- Remove the skillet from the oven. Let it rest for a minute or two so the dip thickens slightly.
- Serve warm with graham crackers. Break crackers into dippers and scoop through the chocolate and toasted marshmallow layers.
Notes
Pro tip: keep the marshmallows fairly close together so the flag design stays intact while baking. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days, and rewarm in the oven at 300°F (150°C) until bubbly; freezing is not recommended because toppings soften. For a dairy swap, use heavy-cream-style dairy-free cream and dairy-free chocolate chips to keep the same melted texture.
