Name: Microwave S’mores Dip
Ingredients: 1 ½ cups (about 9 oz or 255g) Milk Chocolate Chips: The heart of the dip, providing that classic, sweet, and creamy s’mores chocolate flavor. Good quality chips melt more smoothly.; 1 ½ cups Mini Marshmallows: These melt more evenly and create a better top layer than large marshmallows in the microwave. They provide the gooey, slightly toasted sweetness characteristic of s’mores.; (Optional) 1 tablespoon Butter or Heavy Cream: Adding a small amount of fat can help the chocolate melt smoother and stay dippable longer, though it’s not strictly necessary.; Graham Crackers, Cookies, Fruit, Pretzels: For dipping! The classic choice is graham crackers, but the possibilities are endless.

Instructions

Prepare the Dish: Choose a microwave-safe dish, approximately 8-9 inches in diameter (a pie plate or shallow casserole dish works well). Ensure it’s clean and completely dry, as water can cause chocolate to seize.
Layer the Chocolate: Pour the milk chocolate chips evenly into the bottom of the dish. If using butter or heavy cream, drizzle it over the chocolate chips now. This helps create a smoother, richer melt.
First Microwave Stage (Melting Chocolate): Place the dish in the microwave. Heat on HIGH power for 60 seconds. Carefully remove the dish (it might be hot!). Stir the chocolate chips thoroughly with a silicone spatula or spoon. Even if they don’t look fully melted, stirring helps distribute the heat.
Second Microwave Stage (Continue Melting): Return the dish to the microwave and heat on HIGH for another 30 seconds. Remove and stir again until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted. If small lumps remain, microwave in additional 15-second bursts, stirring well after each, until perfectly smooth. Be careful not to overheat, as chocolate can burn quickly in the microwave.
Add the Marshmallows: Once the chocolate is smooth, sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the top, completely covering the chocolate layer.
Final Microwave Stage (Melting Marshmallows): Return the dish to the microwave. Heat on HIGH for 30-60 seconds. Watch very carefully during this stage. You want the marshmallows to puff up and become soft and gooey. They might slightly brown in spots, mimicking a toasted effect, but avoid letting them burn or deflate completely. The exact time will depend heavily on your microwave’s wattage. Start with 30 seconds and add 10-15 seconds if needed.
Rest (Optional but Recommended): Let the dip sit for a minute or two after removing it from the microwave. This allows the marshmallows to set slightly and the intense heat to subside, making it safer and easier to dip.
Serve Immediately: Place the hot dish on a heat-safe surface and serve immediately with your chosen dippers.
