🍫 Campfire S’mores Dip – Bubba’s Gooey Treat for the Soul

When the stars come out and the fire’s glowin’ low, that’s when Bubba breaks out his famous Campfire S’mores Dip — a big ol’ skillet of chocolatey, marshmallowy heaven.

It’s everything you love about a campfire s’more, without the mess or burnt marshmallows (unless you like ‘em that way). Just melt, dip, and smile — it’s sweet, simple, and guaranteed to make your heart (and your fingers) sticky.

🪵 Ingredients

1½ cups milk chocolate chips (or dark if you’re fancy)
1 cup mini marshmallows (plus a handful more for topping)
2 graham crackers, crushed (for sprinklin’)
Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or pretzels for dippin’
Optional: a drizzle of peanut butter or caramel sauce for Bubba’s signature twist

🔥 Directions

Step 1: Fire It Up

Get that campfire goin’ steady with a nice bed of coals — no wild flames needed for this one. Set your cast iron skillet near the heat to warm up.

If you’re cookin’ inside, just preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) — works just fine on a stovetop or grill too.

Step 2: Layer It Up

Sprinkle your chocolate chips evenly across the bottom of the skillet. Top ‘em with mini marshmallows — enough to cover the whole surface like a fluffy, sugary blanket.

If you’re feelin’ wild, drizzle a little peanut butter or caramel right over the top. Bubba says that’s the “extra mile to gooey town.”

Step 3: Heat and Melt

Set the skillet over the fire (not in the fire!) or on a grill grate over medium heat. Cover loosely with foil and let it heat for 5–8 minutes, just until the chocolate melts and the marshmallows puff up and turn golden brown.

If you’re usin’ an oven, bake uncovered about 7 minutes ‘til the top’s nice and toasty.

Step 4: Sprinkle and Serve

Once it’s all melted and gooey, pull it off the heat. Crush a few graham crackers over the top for crunch and presentation (if you’re fancy like Bubba).

Grab some graham crackers or pretzels and start dippin’.

Warning: Folks tend to crowd around fast once that smell hits the air.

🍯 Bubba’s Tips

Add peanut butter chips or white chocolate for a twist.
Use jumbo marshmallows if you like big gooey pockets of goodness.
If the marshmallows get too brown, just stir ‘em in — nobody’s complainin’.

🧊 Storage

Ain’t much point in talkin’ leftovers here, Bubba says, but if you’ve got any, cover it with foil. It’ll reheat over the fire or in the oven just fine.

❤️ Bubba’s Final Word

“Now that’s the kinda dessert that brings folks closer — mostly ‘cause everyone’s reachin’ for the same skillet! Sweet, sticky, and shared — that’s how country livin’ oughta be.”
