📋Ingredients
- Chocolate chips - any type of chocolate chips will work fine. However, we prefer the flavor of dark chocolate chips. You can use any brand.
- Jumbo Marshmallows - jumbo marshmallows work best so that you don't have to add a ton of little marshmallows and it also helps them to get toasty and fluffy. Our favorite brand is Jet Puffed as they tend to melt better than some other brands we've tried.
- Graham Crackers - any graham crackers work just fine for dipping. Or, you can use a variety of other cookies, crackers or fruit for dipping.

📖Substitutions & Variations
There aren't a ton of things to change up and substitute in this recipe. However, here are a few things you can try if you'd like.
- Different Flavored Chocolate - We used dark chocolate for this dip. But, if you prefer white chocolate, milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate you can certainly use a different type.
- Mini Marshmallows - jumbo marshmallows will give you the best fluffy melted topping. However, if you have mini marshmallows you can use those instead. Just make sure that you create one solid layer of them on top of the chocolate chips.
- Chocolate bars instead of chips - You can substitute chocolate bars for the chocolate chips. Simply take your chocolate bars and lay them in a single layer on the bottom of your baking pan.
- Make it single serve - If you just want to make a single serving or individual servings you can use oven safe single serving ramekins instead of an 8x8 pan. The process will be the same with a single layer of chocolate topped with a single layer of marshmallows. But, you'll need to adjust the amounts for each ramekin based on its size.
