4th of July S’mores Dip

This 4th of July S’mores Dip is a warm, gooey chocolate-and-marshmallow dessert dressed up like an American flag, because apparently even dip gets patriotic now. It uses Hershey’s chocolate, colorful sugared marshmallows, and graham crackers for the kind of dessert people “just taste” seven times.

EQUIPMENT (PAID LINKS)

  • 8-inch square baking dish
  • Parchment paper
  • Kitchen shears
  • Small bowls
  • Measuring cup

Ingredients
  

  • 4 full-size Hershey’s milk chocolate bars broken into pieces
  • 1 cup water
  • 5 large marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons blue sanding sugar
  • 6 large marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons red sanding sugar
  • 8 large marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons white sanding sugar
  • Graham crackers for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 450°F so it is hot enough to melt the chocolate and toast the marshmallows quickly.
  • Layer Chocolate: Place the broken Hershey’s chocolate pieces in an even layer across the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish.

  • Make Blue Marshmallows: Dip 5 marshmallows lightly in water, then roll them in blue sanding sugar until coated. Place them on parchment paper to dry slightly.

  • Make Red Marshmallows: Dip 6 marshmallows lightly in water, then roll them in red sanding sugar. Set them on the parchment paper with the blue marshmallows.

  • Make White Marshmallows: Dip 8 marshmallows lightly in water, then roll them in white sanding sugar. Let them sit for a minute so the sugar sticks.

  • Cut Marshmallows: Use kitchen shears to cut each marshmallow in half. This gives each piece a flat side so it sits neatly on top of the chocolate.
  • Build the Flag: Arrange the marshmallows cut side down on top of the chocolate to look like an American flag, using the blue marshmallows in the top left corner and the red and white marshmallows in rows.
  • Bake Dip: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed and toasted and the chocolate underneath is soft and melted.
  • Serve Warm: Serve right away with graham crackers for dipping.
