02 - Evenly spread 2 cups of milk chocolate chips across the base of a dry 9-inch cast iron skillet in a single layer.
03 - Place 2 cups of large marshmallows over the chocolate in a single, snug layer so they touch one another.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Your cast iron skillet transforms three humble ingredients into pure gooey magic before your eyes.
  • Prep takes minutes and you can serve a crowd without individually toasting a single marshmallow over the grill.
02 -
  • Once, I didn’t let the dip cool before serving and learned the hard way that molten marshmallow is hotter than it looks.
  • Sprinkling festive colors on top right before baking makes the dip a showstopper and offers a hint of crunch.
03 -
  • Heat your cast iron gently on the stove for a minute before layering—it speeds up chocolate melting and prevents cold spots.
  • Use a large serving spoon to break through the marshmallow top so everyone gets some chocolate in every scoop.
