Ingredient Notes
- peanut butter cups – I love to use a combination of peanut butter cups and chocolate chips for a peanut butter surprise in this dip. If you don’t have peanut butter cups, you can use additional chocolate chips instead.
- gluten-free graham cracker crumbs – I love to add crunchy graham crackers to this dips underneath the marshmallows for some added texture. I used my gluten-free graham crackers recipe for the crumbs. I like the addition especially if you’re using a dipper that isn’t a graham cracker, like strawberries so you still get the taste of s’mores in every bite.
- mini marshmallows – I like mini marshmallows in this recipe, but you can easily use large marshmallows instead. You’ll need less for your layer of marshmallows since they cover more surface area.

Expert Tips
- While gluten-free graham crackers are the classic dipper for this dip, have some other options like apple slices, strawberries, or gluten-free Oreos to change it up.
- If you don’t have a cast iron skillet use an oven safe baking dish or pie plate. It’s much easier to use a dish with some handles for easy removal from the oven.
- If you’re planning on putting this s’mores dip on a s’mores charcuterie board, cut the recipe in half and put it in a smaller ramekin or baking dish so it fits on the board easily.
Recipe FAQs
While it is best served right away, you can store leftover s’mores dip in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. I like to transfer mine from the cast iron skillet to an airtight container if I plan on reheating in the microwave.
S’mores dip is served best fresh from the oven because the marshmallows will harden. However, if you have leftovers you can reheat them in the oven at 350F for a few minutes, until the chocolate is melted and the marshmallows are soft enough to scoop up with a graham cracker. You can also reheat in the microwave in a microwave safe dish in 10 second increments.
Yes, just add an additional cup of chocolate chips instead of the peanut butter cups.
Instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter cups, you can use Hershey bars, chopped chocolate, white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, milk chocolate chips, or dark chocolate chips in this recipe.
Yes, swap the butter for dairy-free butter. Use a dairy-free variety of chocolate chips. Swap the peanut butter cups for dairy-free peanut butter cups or for additional dairy-free chocolate chips.

- Add the chocolate chips and peanut butter cups to the cast iron skillet in an even layer.
- Bake at 400F for 2-3 minutes on the center rack of your oven, until the chocolate is glossy and starting to melt.
