Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package graham crackers
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure you have a 10-inch cast iron skillet ready for preparation.
- Break graham crackers into small, roughly uniform pieces. Spread them evenly across the bottom of the cast iron skillet, creating a complete base layer.
- In a medium saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour the warm butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the graham cracker base, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips generously across the entire surface of the skillet, creating a rich chocolate layer.
- Distribute mini marshmallows uniformly over the chocolate chips, covering the entire surface.
- Drizzle milk lightly over the marshmallows to help them melt and create a creamy texture.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until marshmallows are golden brown and puffy.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. The dessert will be extremely hot, so allow it to set slightly before serving.
- Serve warm, using a large spoon to scoop out portions. Best enjoyed immediately while still gooey and warm.
Tips
- Use a cast iron skillet for even heat distribution and a rustic presentation.
- Make sure to stir the butter and brown sugar constantly to prevent burning.
- For extra richness, use high-quality chocolate chips like dark or semi-sweet.
- Watch marshmallows closely in the last few minutes of baking to achieve perfect golden-brown color.
- Let the skillet rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the dessert to set slightly.
- Serve immediately for the best gooey, melted texture.
- Consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for an extra decadent touch.
- For a fun variation, try using different types of chocolate or adding nuts.
