Peeps Skillet Smores (Printable version)
Colorful marshmallow chicks meet melted chocolate in this fun 15-minute skillet dessert.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Chocolate Layer
01 - 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
02 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
→ Marshmallow Layer
03 - 18 Peeps marshmallow chicks or bunnies (any color)
→ Dippers
04 - 12 graham crackers, broken into pieces
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
02 - Place the chocolate chips and butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet. Place the skillet in the oven for 3–4 minutes, until the chocolate is mostly melted. Remove from oven and gently stir to combine.
03 - Arrange the Peeps marshmallows in a single layer over the melted chocolate, covering the surface completely.
04 - Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 4–6 minutes, until the Peeps are puffed and lightly golden. Watch closely to prevent burning.
05 - Remove from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.
06 - Serve immediately with graham cracker pieces for dipping. Scoop up molten chocolate and gooey Peeps with each bite.
# Expert tips:
01 -
- The colors make everyone smile before they even take a bite
- Its faster than building an actual campfire and way more colorful
- The chocolate to marshmallow ratio is basically perfect
02 -
- The sugar on Peeps burns faster than regular marshmallows, so check after 4 minutes and keep the oven light on
- Use a light-colored skillet if possible because the marshmallows on the edges brown faster than those in the center
03 -
- Let the skillet sit on the stovetop for just 1 minute after removing from the oven to help the chocolate set up slightly for easier scooping
- Use chocolate graham crackers as dippers for an extra layer of chocolate flavor that nobody will complain about
