Cozy Hot Chocolate Dip with Toasted Marshmallow & Pretzels


  • Author: Sarah Wasserman
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

A warm, fudgy chocolate dip topped with toasted marshmallows and served with salty pretzels. Ready in under 15 minutes, this easy dessert is perfect for cozy nights and crowd-pleasing gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
  • Pretzel sticks or twists, for dipping

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and cocoa powder. Stir constantly until chocolate chips are melted and mixture is smooth and glossy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  3. Pour the warm chocolate mixture into a small oven-safe skillet or baking dish (6 to 8 inches) and spread into an even layer.
  4. Scatter mini marshmallows evenly over the chocolate dip.
  5. Place under the oven broiler and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely, until marshmallows are puffed and golden brown.
  6. Serve immediately with pretzel sticks or twists for dipping.

Notes

Watch the broiler closely—marshmallows can burn quickly. For a richer flavor, add a splash of heavy cream or a teaspoon of instant coffee powder. For a peppermint twist, substitute ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract for the vanilla.
