Ingredients
Scale
Dessert Base:
- 4 Hershey’s chocolate bars
- 19 marshmallows
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) water
Decoration and Coating:
- 1 cup (200 grams) red, white, and blue sugar
Serving Component:
- Graham crackers
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a moderate temperature of 350°F, ensuring an even heating environment for the dessert preparation.
- Carefully fragment the chocolate bars into uniform pieces, distributing them evenly across a heat-resistant ceramic vessel for smooth, consistent melting.
- Create a festive decorative element by lightly moistening each marshmallow, then gently coating them in patriotic-colored sugar crystals for a vibrant July 4th aesthetic.
- Arrange the sugar-encrusted marshmallows atop the molten chocolate layer, creating an appealing geometric pattern that ensures complete coverage.
- Transfer the decorated dish back into the heated oven, allowing the marshmallows to transform into a golden, pillowy landscape with delicate caramelized edges.
- Once achieving a perfectly toasted exterior and glossy texture, extract the dessert from the oven and permit a brief cooling interval to stabilize the melted components.
- Present the smores dip immediately alongside crisp graham crackers, inviting guests to scoop the decadent, gooey mixture and indulge in a classic summer treat.
Notes
- Swap chocolate types to customize flavor intensity, using dark, milk, or semi-sweet varieties based on preference.
- Prevent marshmallows from burning by watching closely during final baking stage and removing when golden brown.
- Create gluten-free version by using gluten-free graham crackers or serving with alternative dipping items like fresh fruit or pretzels.
- Enhance patriotic presentation by using themed sprinkles or coordinating serving dishes in red, white, and blue colors.
