Ahh, s’mores. What an incredibly nostalgic and satisfying summer treat. I had my first s’more in many years during a trip to the mountains not long ago, and it was definitely a moment. I mean, can you name a more iconic flavor combination? Whoever thought up s’mores is clearly a food genius. This healthier s’mores dip is the perfect way to get your fix without having to light a bonfire first. All you need is a cast-iron skillet or ramekin and three easy to find ingredients and you are golden (no pun intended).

Ingredients for S’mores Dip

Chocolate Chips: You can use any kind you like. You can use milk chocolate for that more traditional Hershey’s chocolate vibe, but my preference is semi-sweet or dark chocolate. My favorite dairy-free option is Enjoy Life.

Almond Butter or Tahini: My preference is a good salted almond butter, but tahini is a perfect substitute for any allergy issues. If your nut or seed butter is unsalted, I would add just a pinch of sea salt. My favorite nut and seeds butters are from Trader Joe’s.

Marshmallows: We’re going for the jumbo-sized marshmallows here. I like to tear them in half and place them rounded side up on top of the chocolate/almond butter mixture. I like these marshmallows for vegan/gluten-free needs.

Equipment Needed for S’mores Dip

I used a small cast iron skillet to make this s’mores dip. This little 6.5-inch skillet is budget-friendly and super versatile. I highly encourage having one on hand. If you only have a bigger cast iron skillet and you’re serving a crowd, doubling or tripling the recipe could work well. However, if you do not have a cast iron skillet, you can use a ramekin. A ramekin is a small rounded baking dish for single servings. I would recommend a 10 oz ramekin for the purposes of this recipe. If you use a ramekin, you will want to microwave the chocolate chips and almond butter in 30-second intervals as opposed to heating it over a stove. You may also notice you need fewer marshmallows to cover the top.

Ideas for Dipping

Graham Crackers: The obvious choice here, especially if you’re going for that authentic s’mores experience.
Pretzels: An equally delightful option, especially if you enjoy that salty/sweet contrast.
Strawberries(or really any berry): Always delicious.

Storing & Reheating

To be quite honest with you, this dip is best served fresh. However, I have had success with reheating (though it isn’t quite the same). Make sure you thoroughly cover the skillet or ramekin in aluminum foil once it has cooled completely and place in the refrigerator. You can then place the cast iron skillet over medium heat on the stove until warmed through. While I haven’t tested it, I imagine sticking the ramekin in the microwave in 30 second intervals will work. Sticking it in the oven for a few minutes could work as well, though I would caution you that this will likely make your marshmallows more on the burnt side of golden brown (which may be your thing, who am I to judge?).
