S’mores Dip

S’mores Dip is an easy way to get all the ooey gooey goodness from a s’more without the roasting! This is such a fun sweet treat that everyone can enjoy without building a hot fire.

Everyone loves a good dip, they are easy and absolutely delicious. You have to try these incredible dips, Ranch, Rotel, and Jalapeno Popper dip.

Easy S’mores Dip

I love anything that has sweetened condensed milk in it. I lick the spoon every time. Is that weird? I knew this dip was going to be good but I wasn’t expecting it to be so good that I and my boys couldn’t stop eating it. S’mores totally remind me of camping and make me think back to all of the fun camping outings that I have had with my family. I love this dip because you can get that same amazing s’more taste without having to roast a marshmallow. It was amazing! It tasted like the inside of a s’more without all of the hard work!

S’mores are a combination of flavors that are absolutely divine. The sweet chocolate, fluffy marshmallow, and crunchy graham cracker all together are heavenly. It is a flavor that floods the mind with memories of being with loved ones around a campfire. I love recreating it in this dip as well as in these tried and true recipes, S’more To Die for Bars, No-Bake S’more pie, and S’more Fudge Pops!

Ingredients for S’mores Dip

This was a quick and easy recipe to put together and we absolutely loved it. Even the picky one so I am convinced that everyone will love it! For all ingredient measurements, see the recipe card below.

• Sweetened condensed milk: Thick and sweet, you can find this next to the evaporated milk in the baking aisle of your store.
• Chocolate chips:: Milk chocolate or semi-sweet will both work.
• Marshmallow cream: Look for this in the baking aisle near the marshmallows.
• Graham crackers: Definitely the way to go but check below for other options.

How to Make S’mores Dip in the Microwave

Quick and easy you will want to serve s’more dip warm. It will get harder to scoop as it cools.

• Melt: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the sweet and condensed milk and chocolate chips together stirring every 30 seconds.
• Microwave: Once melted, add the ½ cup marshmallow cream by spoonfuls and put in the microwave for another 20 seconds until the marshmallow is softened and swirl the marshmallow cream throughout creating a marbled look.
• Serve: Serve immediately with graham crackers and enjoy!

The Best S’more Dip Tips

Sweet, chocolate and ooey and gooey, the perfect combination without the mess.

• Marshmallow Creme: This is different than marshmallow fluff, which you can use as well, but it will give you a different consistency. Marshmallow creme will create a smooth decadent texture. Fluff can be a bit more grainy.
• Can I use Marshmallows? I would not recommend substituting Marshmallows for the creme. It will not be smooth but gloopy and hard to dip.
• Chocolate: Use whatever kind of chocolate you love best. You can use milk chocolate, semi-sweet, or even dark chocolate if you desire.
• Serve Immediately: This is a dip you really shouldn’t make ahead of time, Make and serve right away for the best results. If you have leftovers they can be stored in an airtight container for 2 days. Warm in the microwave and stir before serving.

Dipper Variations

Graham Crackers are not the only thing you can dip in this luscious s’more dip.

• Fruit: Think apple slices, strawberries, bananas, blackberries even pineapple would taste good.
• Crackers and Cookies: Oreos, peanut butter cookies, shortbread cookies, Vanilla Wafers, Biscoff, and good old chocolate chip cookies will work in this dip.
• Salty: Sweet and salty just go together, try pretzels, potato chips, the thick wavy kind work best, and Ritz Crackers all taste amazing.

More Dip recipes to Love

Everyone loves to dunk their food and eat with their hands sometimes. Kids love it for sure and even us adults like to control the dip. Dips are a wonderful way to get kids to eat their fruits and vegetables without complaining and even us adults need help getting all those servings in and this definitely makes it easier. Serve dips for appetizers, side dishes, or even desserts and you’ve got a hit on your hands. These recipes are tried and true and absolutely divine!

Brownie Cookies

Brownie cookies are the chewy, fudgy treat that you are not going to be able to get enough of. A combination of two of my favorite desserts, you won’t believe how ooey gooey and perfect these are!

Calling all chocolate lovers! It is time to get your fix. I know you will love these cookies as well as some of my other tried and true chocolate desserts: brownies, lasagna, and pie.

The Best Brownie Cookie Recipe

Not sure whether you want a rich, fudgy brownie or a warm, baked cookie? Well, have I got the dessert for you. This Brownie Cookie recipe is a chocolate lover’s dream. You don’t have to make a trip to the store for a box of brownies anymore, with just a few staples already in your pantry, you can put a fresh batch of these bad boys together. Whether it’s for a party dessert or those late-night cravings, this is the perfect indulgent treat to satisfy your sweet tooth.

My family has loved having these around. If they last long enough, which they usually don’t, they are my favorite Netflix binge treat- warmed up with a scoop of ice cream. The moist, fudgy center of these cookies with a slightly crispy, perfectly baked outer layer is so irresistible. All you have to do is pull out a few basic ingredients from your pantry, mix everything together, and bake!

What You Need to Make Brownie Cookies

You will probably already have a lot of these ingredients which is the best part of this recipe! For all of the ingredient measurements, see below in the recipe card.

• Butter: Unsalted, melted.
• Vegetable Oil: Makes your cookies moist.
• Granulated Sugar: For sweetness.
• Eggs: To bind ingredients together.
• Vanilla Extract: For flavor. I have found that pure vanilla extract works best.
• All-Purpose Flour: For cookie structure. Avoid flour with high protein content or your cookies will turn out too dense. I like using all-purpose flour to keep them light and fluffy.
• Salt: To enhance flavor.
• Baking Powder: Keeps your cookies light and fluffy.
• Cocoa Powder: For a delicious, chocolatey base.
• Dark Cocoa Powder: Adds the perfect fudgy flavor.
• Chocolate Chips: For melty, amazing texture. You can also substitute with chocolate chunks.
• Flaky Salt: Optional, for an added sweet and salty element.

Homemade Brownie Cookies Instructions

With just a few simple instructions, you too can have a soft, chewy cookie in your mouth! These are the best brownie cookies that you will make!

1. Preheat: Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together butter, oil and sugar until well combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla and whisk until combined.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently stir in chocolate chips.
4. Form Cookies: Using a medium cookie scoop that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray, scoop cookies onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Keep them spaced about 2 inches between each cookie. If you’d like, top with more chocolate chips or flakey salt.
5. Bake: Bake for 13-15 minutes. Allow to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

What to Serve With Your Brownie Cookies

My favorite way to eat Brownie Cookies is a la mode. Try vanilla, keto coconut, or even brownie batter ice cream for a double chocolate treat! Top it with fudge or homemade salted caramel sauce for a delectable sundae. You can also keep it simple and serve alongside a glass of milk since they taste so amazing on their own.

Storing Leftover Brownie Cookies

These are best stored covered with plastic wrap at room temperature and should be consumed within 2 days. If you want that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste, pop leftover Brownie Cookies in the microwave for 10-20 seconds and serve.

• In the Freezer: Freeze Brownie Cookie dough balls in a ziplock bag. They will keep for up to 4 months.

Tips for Making the Best Brownie Cookies

Brownie Cookies are scrumptious as is, but use these easy tips to make them taste even better!

• Adding Toppings: Customize your cookies like you would a brownie by adding things like nuts, mini marshmallows, caramel, peanut butter chips, and candy pieces to your batter.
• Using Too Much Flour: Make sure to measure out your flour. Adding too much will leave you with dense, dry Brownie Cookies.
• Mixing Your Batter: Mix your wet and dry ingredients until completely smooth to get a perfect, fudgy result.
• Using High-Quality Chocolate: Using high-quality chocolate and cocoa powder can really make a difference in how your Brownie Cookies turn out. If your cocoa has a high cocoa content, the stronger the flavor will be. A lot of bakers swear by Dutch cocoa powder- Ghiradelli and Valrhona are some of my favorites.
• Don’t Overbake: Cooking your Brownie Cookies for too long takes away from their fudginess, so make sure to keep an eye on them and only cook for the specified time.
• Let Brownie Cookies Cool: Make sure you let your Brownie Cookies cool before serving. If you serve them too soon, they will fall apart and not have that perfect fudgy center.

Cookies never last long at my house. My whole family loves them, but honestly with how delicious they are, sometimes I just want to keep them for myself! Try my other crave-worthy cookies that I know you and your family will love, too!

Dinner Ingredients:

One thing missing from this ingredient list is canned soup! This is a made-from-scratch recipe that is just as easy as using cans, without all those unknown ingredients.

• Olive oil: Add to pan warmed to medium high heat before adding in pork chops.
• Salt and pepper: To taste.
• Thick cut pork chops: Either bone-in or boneless will work, just adjust your cook time since bone-in will take a few minutes more on each side.
• Sliced mushrooms: Crimini, white, or portobello all work well.
• Butter: Add to pan and whisk with flour to begin gravy.
• Flour: Whisk together with butter until brown to start your gravy.
• Beef Broth: Adds flavorful base to the gravy.
• Heavy Cream: Thick rich cream in the gravy mixed together with Worcestershire.
• Worcestershire sauce: Adds a little bit of tanginess to the gravy.

How to Make Smothered Pork Chops and Gravy:

Depending on the size of your pork chops, this could easily be a 30-minute meal! On top of being quick, clean-up is simple because it is all made in one pan!

1. Heat oil: In a medium sized skillet over medium high heat add the olive oil.
2. Season pork chops and cook: Salt and pepper the pork chops and add to the sauce pan. Cook on each side for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden.  Remove and set aside on a plate.
3. Sauté mushrooms: Add the mushrooms and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Set aside on plate with pork chops.
4. Whisk together gravy: Add 4 Tablespoons butter and flour to skillet and whisk until it turns brown. Slowly stir in beef broth and heavy cream. Add worchestershire sauce and dijon mustard and bring to a simmer until sauce starts to thicken. Salt and pepper to taste.
5. Combine and simmer: Add the pork chops and mushrooms back to the skillet and let simmer for a couple of minutes.
6. Serve: Plate and serve over mashed potatoes if desired.

Add Some Sides:

A complete meal is closer than you think when you start with these savory smothered pork chops!  For low-carb sides try Mashed cauliflower and Sautéed Garlic Asparagus with Bacon.  Or for a buttery rich pairing try Dad’s Famous Mashed potatoes. Finally add a Perfect Soft Buttery Roll on the side and you have a comforting and satisfying meal your entire family will love!

Tips for the Perfect Pork Chops:

• Pork Chops: Bring meat to room temperature and pat them dry before seasoning and cooking.  Make sure your pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees to be considered fully cooked.
• Mushrooms: Do not salt your mushrooms until after you have sautéed them to allow them to get great color.
• Do not wipe out pan: Leave the drippings an brown pieces in the pan after cooking the meat because it adds great flavor to the gravy. In fact you may want to scrape them off the bottom with your spatula to be sure they mix in.
• Storing cooked pork: Allow meat to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Cooked pork chops with gravy will keep well for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or 2-3 months in the freezer.
• Reheat: To warm up stored leftovers, place on a skillet on medium low until warm throughout.
