S’mores Dip with chocolate ganache, toasted marshmallows, and graham crackers for dipping is the perfect easy summer dessert!
Why this recipe works:
If you love traditional s’mores, you’ll love this recipe.
- Instead of just melting chocolate chips, I made a warm chocolate ganache. If you’ve never had homemade ganache, it’s basically scalded heavy cream poured over a mound of chocolate chips.
- The trick is to let that combination sit, untouched, for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to melt. Then the fun part comes – you whisk it to a smooth perfection!
- A couple pads of butter stirred in gives it the most luscious, silky finish.
This, and possibly smores krispie treats, are the next best thing compared to original s’mores!
Ingredients needed:
- heavy cream
- chocolate chips
- butter
- marshmallows
- graham crackers
Here’s how to make it:
This recipe couldn’t be easier.
- First step to to make the chocolate ganache. It only takes a few minutes and turns out perfect every time. Spread that ganache in a baking dish.
- Next, top the ganache with marshmallows. You can use small or big, store bought or homemade. Doesn’t matter.
- Finally, heat the dip in the oven until the marshmallows are completely melted on the inside and toasted on the top. You might have to lower your rack in order to get them fully melted without burning the top.
- Serve with graham crackers for dipping and you’re set!
You can use store bought marshmallows or take your s’mores dip to the next level with Homemade Peppermint Marshmallows or Strawberry Marshmallows.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter room temperature, cut into small pieces
- 10 ounces marshmallows
- 5 ounces graham crackers (1 sleeve)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat cream in pot on stove over medium high heat just until the edges start to bubble. Do not bring to a full boil. While it's heating up, add chocolate chips to a medium sized metal or glass bowl. As soon as cream starts to simmer, remove from heat and pour over chocolate chips. Allow to sit, undisturbed, for several minutes.
- Then, use a whisk to stir the chocolate until it is fully mixed. Add the butter and continue to whisk until everything has melted and is fully mixed and smooth.
- Pour chocolate ganache into a small baking dish.
- Smooth chocolate to create an even layer. You can totally lick the spoon. No judgement here.
- Top with marshmallows.
- Bake in preheated oven until marshmallows have melted on the inside and are toasted on the top. Serve immediately with graham crackers for dipping.

I see the list of ingredients, and it would help me to know quantities. I All I’d need is proportions of cream to chocolate chips, or actual amounts. Also, what’s meant by “scalding” the heavy cream?
Scroll down and you’ll see the full recipe card. Ingredient quantities and directions on how to scald the cream are in there. Enjoy!
