Perfectly golden marshmallows melt over layers of semi-sweet chocolate chips and buttery graham crackers, all baked or grilled to perfection in a cast-iron skillet. This quick and easy 20-minute recipe is ideal for sharing at summer cookouts, BBQs, or cozy nights in. Customize it with optional toppings like crushed nuts, a sprinkle of sea salt, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra decadence. Whether served straight from the skillet or scooped into bowls, this warm, chocolatey treat is sure to delight dessert lovers of all ages.
Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place a cast-iron skillet on a heat-safe surface and spread 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter evenly across the bottom to prevent sticking.
Break the graham crackers into smaller pieces and spread them out in a single layer across the bottom of the skillet.
Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top of the graham crackers.
Arrange the large marshmallows on top of the chocolate chips in a circular pattern, leaving a small gap between each marshmallow to allow for expansion as they heat up.
If using a grill, place the skillet over indirect heat. If using an oven, place the skillet on the middle rack. Bake or grill for about 8–10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and gooey, and the chocolate is melted.
Carefully remove the skillet from the heat source. Optional: Sprinkle crushed nuts or sea salt over the top or drizzle with caramel sauce for added flavor.
Serve warm with a spoon or dessert forks for sharing. Enjoy the gooey, chocolatey indulgence immediately!
