Method
Broil setup
- Preheat your oven broiler to high and position the rack about 6 inches from the top element.
Melt the chocolate
- 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.
- 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
- Layer the mini marshmallows evenly across the entire surface of the chocolate, covering it edge to edge.
- 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
- Remove the skillet carefully from the oven and let rest for 1 minute.
- 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.
