Kids in the Kitchen Wednesday: S'more Dip

This blog is proudly sponsored by The Sandlot. Not sure about you, but that movie screams "SUMMERTIME!!!!" The Wisconsin Test Kitchen shared it with SB a few weeks ago, and she loved it. It's a happy little piece of nostalgia for kids that grew up in the 90's. 

We were craving s'mores the other night, but the weather wasn't cooperating. It was cold, damp and 50 degrees. Not ideal campfire weather. So, we went with plan B, and tried making s'more dip. 

S'more Dip

Ingredients
1 cup chocolate chips
8 large marshmallows
graham crackers for dipping

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450.
In a cast iron skillet, add the chocolate chips (we used Hershey bars, since we were out of chocolate chips. And we wanted it to be as authentic as possible).

Snip the large marshmallows in half and top the chocolate chips with them. (You could also use a scoop of mini marshmallows alternatively.)

Once the oven is up to temperature, add the skillet to the oven. Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the marshmallows turn golden brown.

Serve with graham crackers for scooping.

So, what was the verdict? I think the empty skillet speaks for itself. We thought it was actually better than actual s'mores, because the chocolate was meltier. But it was the perfect substitute for the real thing. Excuse us while we go watch The Sandlot for the 800th time.
