Instructions
Step 1: Preheat
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Lightly grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe baking dish.
Step 2: Build the Chocolate Layer
Add to the skillet:
Semi-sweet chocolate chips, Milk chocolate chips, Butter, and Heavy cream.
Spread into an even layer.
Step 3: Add Marshmallows
Arrange the marshmallows in a single layer over the chocolate.
Place them close together so they puff into one gooey topping.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 8–10 minutes until the marshmallows are:
Golden brown
Puffy
Lightly toasted
If you'd like extra browning, broil for 30–60 seconds, watching carefully so they don't burn.
Step 5: Serve
Serve immediately while the chocolate is warm and melted.
Tips
Use a cast iron skillet to keep the dip warm longer.
Don't overbake or the marshmallows can become tough.
Serve immediately for the best gooey texture.
Broil only briefly to prevent burning.
