FAQs
How do I prevent the marshmallows from burning?
Keep an eye on the dip in the oven — marshmallows can go from golden to burnt quickly. Pull it out once they are lightly browned.
Can I make this ahead of time?
For best texture, prepare and serve this dip right before eating. Reheated dip can get thick.
What else can I dip besides graham crackers?
Try fresh fruit like strawberries or banana slices for a fruity take.
Can I use mini marshmallows?
Yes — mini marshmallows work too and may toast more evenly on top.
Is there a gluten‑free version?
Yes, substitute gluten‑free crackers or cookies for graham crackers.
Can I use chocolate bars instead of chips?
Broken pieces of chocolate bar melt well and give a rich flavor.
What size dish should I use?
A standard 9×13‑inch baking dish works well — use one that’s oven‑safe.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, double the ingredients and use a larger baking dish, but baking time may be slightly longer.
Can I make this in a skillet?
Yes, an oven‑safe skillet (like cast iron) is perfect for even heating.
How do I keep the chocolate from burning?
Make sure the oven is fully preheated and avoid placing the dish too close to the top heating element.
