Much as I enjoyed toasting s’mores as a kid, this S’mores Dip Recipe is SO much tastier. And no charred, molten marshmallows are needed.
Why You Must Make
- This easy s’mores dessert dip recipe uses only 3 ingredients and is perfect for game day, summer parties, after-school snacks, and more.
- Dessert Dips are a fun, interactive way to gather with your guests or family.
- This S’mores Recipe is perfect for the summer holidays, plus it’s easier and less messy than making traditional s’mores over your grill or campfire.
Year after year, my parents, 3 sisters, and I piled into our unairconditioned Plymouth Satellite station wagon and drove across Iowa, Nebraska, and over the Rockies in Colorado to spend a couple of weeks in a quiet, picturesque ski town for our summer vacation.
It was a given we’d grill brats or burgers over a wood fire at a couple of our favorite picnic sites: the Maroon Bells and the grottos. We’d gather perfect s’mores grilling sticks for our marshmallows, catch a few on fire, and were all a sticky mess when it was time to leave the campsite.
Ingredient Notes
- Cream Cheese – 8-ounce package, at room temperature for easier blending. Philadelphia brand recommended.
- Marshmallow Creme – I use a 7-ounce jar of Kraft Jet Puffed Marshmallow creme.
- Fudge Sauce – Homemade or store-bought; I prefer Mrs. Richardson’s brand (it tastes better than other brands I’ve tried).
- Graham crackers, fudge stripe cookies, and/or chocolate chip cookies – To serve
- Mini marshmallows, chocolate chips – To garnish, optional
How to Make
Expert Tips
There is nothing complicated involved when putting together this s’mores dip recipe! But a few recommendations will make it a breeze to prepare.
- First, purchase quality ingredients. I like Kraft Marshmallow Creme. There are probably some generic brands around, but play it safe and buy the Kraft.
- Also, buy a quality fudge sauce. With only 3 ingredients in this recipe, all must be the best available to you. Read the label and the fewer artificial ingredients, the better. Chocolate should be at the top of the list!
- PRO-Tip: Use a mixer, not a whisk to combine the ingredients. Marshmallow cream is very sticky and you’ll be frustrated trying to incorporate it by hand.
- PRO-Tip: Have your cream cheese at room temperature or it will be hard to get the dip nice and smooth. I like to set it out on the counter about an hour before mixing. It can also be taken out of the box and immersed in warm water to speed up the process.
- You can make this dip a day ahead of time. Just garnish before serving.
- Then serve it with your favorite dippers like the classic graham crackers, Teddy Grahams (do they still make those??), chocolate chip cookies, vanilla wafers, Fudge sticks, etc.
- Garnish to up the experience and presentation, especially if serving to guests. I like using mini chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
Frequently Asked Questions
S’mores is a contraction, or shortened form, of the phrase “Some More.” Legend is that when this campfire treat was first tried, fans asked for s’more.
A recipe for S’mores was first published in a cookbook in the 1920s where it was called a Graham Cracker Sandwich. But it was already a well-established treat with both the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts before this time. In 1927, the recipe for Some More was published in Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts. Via Wikipedia.
S’mores have always been made of 3 simple ingredients: A campfire roasted or toasted marshmallow, part of a milk chocolate bar, and two graham crackers. Skewers or sticks are also needed for toasting the marshmallows.
Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. If you notice any double dipping, it’s probably best to discard the leftovers.

When it is so hot you can fry and egg on the pavement no bake desserts are a must. Love how thick, rich and creamy this smore dip is.
Hello,
I’m going to make this dip for work.
Should it be served warm or chilled?
I’m assuming it should be refrigerated if I prepare it the night before.
Thank you
Sandy
Yes, refrigerate it before serving. You can bring it out of the fridge before serving so it’s easier to scoop. I hope you enjoy it, Sandy!
Can you make this ahead of time and serve in crockpot?
Hi, Stacy, yes, that should work. It doesn’t make a huge amount so you might want to double it.
I just finished putting this together. It’s very thin…drippy. I put it in the refrigerator hoping that the cream cheese will thicken it up. I’m single, no kids so I got to like the mixing mosl. M.
Hi, Marilyn, there is a range for the amount of fudge sauce. If you used chocolate syrup instead of fudge sauce or a runny fudge sauce, the results could be thinner. But if you used a thick fudge sauce and let the cream cheese get very soft, it will thicken up after it’s chilled. Fingers crossed it ends up having a good consistency!
For the fudge sauce what brand is used for this recipe…I have snickers hot fudge topping, will that work?
Hi, Mary Ellen, I usually use Mrs. Richardson’s or Sanders brands, but as long as it’s thick and tasty, you should be fine! Hope you enjoy!
My kids love it when I make this for them! Always a huge hit.
