S’mores Dip Recipe You Can Make At Home

May 2, 2020 This College Life Staff

You can always bring the s’mores to the fire, but you can’t always bring the fire to the s’mores.

This s’mores dip recipe gives you the steps for a tasty s’mores dip that can feed a lot of people, especially because most won’t be able to put away more than two or three graham crackers dipped in this.

Maybe that person with the sweet tooth will prove me wrong, but with 12 Hershey chocolate bars going in, I doubt it.

Our ingredients all came from Aldi (and it turned out great) but you can find all of them on Amazon, too, which will let you stay fully secluded and not get exposed to any global pandemics (if we have that sort of thing happening, cough cough).

Next, do something similar to the first chocolate layer. It’s okay if these overlap. It’s too bad our crock pot isn’t see-through. Before impaling this with graham crackers for the s’mores, it would be pretty cool to look at it from the side.

The last one can go in the middle.

Smooth out that layer of marshmallows on the top. At this point, it’s time to let the stack of marshmallows and Hershey’s chocolate stew for a little while. Good s’mores dip takes time.

The very bottom layer will get a little bit crusty, but, by and large it should all stay fairly liquid. Not like the buffalo chicken cheese dip in the slow cooker where the very bottom got some serious crust.

At the end of the 15 minutes, grab your spatula to start mixing the marshmallows and chocolate around.

It should really be starting to look like a big bunch of s’mores all smashed together.

Mmmmm…..s’mores dip…

Get another Hershey bar and break it up the same way you broke up the other pieces.

Layer those on top of the dip. You will notice that the marshmallow and chocolate s’mores mixture has sunk down a bit after mixing it around so the cooker is only full about halfway.

Grab those other six Hershey bars.

Break them up just like the others. Now it’s time for the top layer.

Set the mini-bars in the slow cooker in a circle. This is like that other part further down, but these are like little chocolate people in a hot tub.

Look at ’em in there. They know what’s coming.

It’s fine to overlap a few in the top row. Once those are in there, go grab the marshmallow bag.

You’ll be dropping the final cup of marshmallows in at this point.

Pat them down with the spatula.

Tie off the marshmallow bag for another time. We’re done with it for this one.

Close it up, the slow cooker should be on “high” the whole time you’re putting things in, too.

Set the stove timer to 30 minutes for the last round of melting.

Benton's Graham Crackers — If you want to use this image, just credit “This College Life” and include a link to this article.

Successful s’mores dip.

Once it’s ready to sit on the buffet (or next to the fire, or the counter or wherever) set the cooker to low heat.

This is a pretty sugary s’mores dip recipe, so be sure to pace yourself if you plan on having a few graham crackers dipped in there. I burned the roof of my mouth pretty badly on the taste test because I dropped a glob of molten chocolate in and chomped down.

Eat responsibly.
