Ingredients
  

Base
  • 1.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp salt pinch
  • pinch of salt use as labeled (small pinch)
Topping
  • 3 cup mini marshmallows or 10–12 large marshmallows, halved
For Serving
  • 1 graham crackers 1 pack, broken into pieces
  • strawberries optional
  • pretzels optional
  • banana slices optional

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Broil setup
  1. Preheat your oven broiler to high and position the rack about 6 inches from the top element.
Melt the chocolate
  1. In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet (cast iron works beautifully), combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, butter, vanilla extract, and salt over medium-low heat.
  2. Stir continuously for 3–4 minutes until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy, then remove from heat.
Top and broil
  1. Layer the mini marshmallows evenly across the entire surface of the chocolate, covering it edge to edge.
  2. Place the skillet under the broiler for 2–3 minutes, watching closely, until the marshmallows are puffed, golden, and toasted with some charred spots.
Rest and serve
  1. Remove the skillet carefully from the oven and let rest for 1 minute.
  2. Serve immediately in the skillet with graham cracker pieces and pretzels or fresh fruit for dipping.

Notes

For the best texture, keep the heat at medium-low while melting so the chocolate stays glossy; if it thickens, stir a few seconds longer off the hottest spot. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days; rewarm gently in the microwave to loosen, since marshmallows firm as they cool. Freezing is not recommended because the marshmallows and chocolate can separate. For a gluten-free dip, serve with gluten-free graham crackers (or sliced cookies) for dipping.
