Ingredients you'll need
Vegan Butter:The recipe begins by coating the bottom pan with vegan butter. This will help prevent the chocolate from sticking to the pan and give it a delicious flavor. Earth Balance or Country Crock Plant butter are our favorite vegan butters, but any vegan oil will do. Coconut oil is also an option.
Chocolate Chips: To find vegan-friendly dark chocolate chips, search for semi-sweet chocolate chip. These chips are usually dairy-free, and sometimes vegan. Enjoy Life makes our favorite chocolate. These chocolates are always vegan and free from 14 allergens. In a pinch, you can use mini chocolate chunks or chips, or a vegan chocolate bar.
Marshmallows It may surprise you to learn that marshmallows are not vegetarian. Gelatin is an ingredient in regular marshmallows that comes from animal skin, bones, hooves and other boiled parts. The vegetarian and vegan marshmallows from Trader Joe's or Dandies are our favorites. You can use mini marshmallows and halved or even larger marshmallows.
Graham Crackers: If graham crackers are what you're looking for, then we recommend Kinninkinick Graham Crackers. They are gluten-free! Nabisco Original Grahams are also available in red boxes. If you can't find them, try making your own vegan grahams or using alternative dippers.

Cover the pan with vegan butter. Spread 1/2 tablespoons of vegan butter around the skillet to coat it.
Spread the chocolate on the bottom. Sprinkle the vegan chocolate on the bottom of your skillet once the butter has melted.
Add marshmallows to the top. Place the marshmallows on top of the chocolate chips to cover the entire skillet.
Bake until golden. Bake until golden.
Serve. Serve with graham crackers or your favorite dippers.
Serving Suggestions
The best way to serve this s'mores dessert is hot, straight from the oven. The toasted marshmallows will become harder and the chocolate chips will become more firm as it cools.
This s'mores dip is great with graham sticks. It's also good with fruit such as bananas, strawberries, apples and berries. You can serve it with vanilla wafers or vegan sugar cookies.
This twist on the classic summer dip is great for game nights, bonfires or any other occasion where a tasty dip would be appreciated.
Storage Instructions
S'mores dip leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. Use an airtight container, or cover tightly with plastic wrap. Reheat leftovers until they are warm in the microwave or in an oven.
The marshmallows do not reheat well but they are still delicious!
Recipe FAQs
How to melt marshmallows in an oven
Our marshmallows were perfectly golden and gooey on the top after baking for 10 minutes. Turn on the broiler if your marshmallows don't have much color. This will make them roast much faster!
I don't own a skillet that can be used in the oven. Can I use a baking dish?
Yes! Use a baking dish with a diameter of 8" or 9" if necessary. This s'mores dipping recipe would also work well in a pie dish.
This is for a smaller group. Can I use a smaller skillet?
You can adjust the recipe for a smaller pan if you are hosting a small party. Spread chocolate in a single layer on the bottom of each mini skillet and top with vegan marshmallows. Bake the s’mores dip at the same temperature for the same time or until the marshmallows have toasted.

Make this S'mores Dip instead of a fire pit for your next event! The marshmallows are melted over chocolate chips and baked until toasty. This vegan and gluten free dip is a crowd-pleaser throughout the year.
Ingredients
8 inch cast iron skillet or other oven-safe dish of your choice
1/2 teaspoon vegan Butter (we used Earth Balance).
1 1/2 cup vegan choc chunks or chips*
15 vegan marshmallows* (we used Dandies)
Vegan graham crackers (we used Kinnikinnick S'moreable Graham Crackers)
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven with an 8" cast iron skillet in the middle rack. After the skillet has been preheated, remove it from the oven. Place the skillet on the stovetop. Add the vegan butter to the pan, and coat it generously.
Add the chocolate chips in an even layer to the bottom of the pan. Then, arrange the marshmallows on top, making sure that they completely cover the chocolate.
The marshmallows should be golden brown.
Remove the skillet and let it cool down for 5 minutes. Serve with Graham Crackers immediately, but be careful because the dip and skillet will be very hot.
Notes
Five Heart Home Recipes:
Cast iron pans help to ensure that the chocolate melts evenly. If you prefer, you can use another pan. However, it might not melt as evenly.
Ensure that your marshmallows contain no animal products. Generic brands often contain gelatin, which is made from boiled bones, skins, and other animal products. Gelatine is usually found in generic brands. Avoid those. Trader Joe's or Dandies are our favorite brands. You can find Dandies at Whole Foods, most health food shops and online.
You can use dark chocolate, but make sure it's vegan. If you prefer to use chocolate bars instead of chunks or chips, be sure to chop them up first to aid in melting.
It is difficult to find vegan graham crackers. We know that The Original Nabisco Graham Crackers can be vegan because they are free of honey. Another vegan graham we enjoy are Kinnikinnick S’moreable Graham Crackers. They are also gluten-free. You can find the former at any grocery store and the latter in health food stores or Whole Foods.
Earth Balance is a brand that's easy to find. Coconut oil is also an option.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some popular plant-based meals?
Plant-based diets are gaining popularity because of their potential environmental and health benefits. Common plant-based diets are those that are made from plants. This includes fruits, vegetables as well as legumes and nuts. These foods are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, dietary fiber, and other nutrients. A variety of beans and pulses are good sources for plant-based protein. These include chickpeas (or lentils), beans, chickpeas (or kidney beans), lower-fat soya products like tempeh and edamame, and higher-fat nuts like almonds. You can also get healthy fats from plant sources like flaxseeds, olive oil, flaxseed or other nut oils. Many ready-to-eat meals can be found now, which can help reduce grocery costs. A plant-based diet might not be as expensive as others, depending on the food you purchase.
Can you build muscles on a plant-based food?
Yes, it is possible for a plant-based lifestyle to build muscle. Eating a vegetarian diet does not necessarily limit the amount of muscle one can build -- the type of foods consumed plays the most significant role in determining muscle size and strength. High-protein plant-based foods may include legumes (beans/lunch/peas), seitan, nuts and nutritional yeast. A properly balanced, plant-based diet will help you reach your fitness goals. It can also be combined with regular exercise and proper nutrition. Whole food sources should be emphasized over processed products, often full of unhealthy additives or preservatives. For consistent gains, it is important to eat enough protein each day. To do this, you can include foods such as quinoa, flaxseed oils, and nut butters into your daily diet. A nutritionist who specializes in plant-based nutrition is a good choice, regardless of whether you want to build muscle mass or maintain your health.
What are some of the best sources for protein on a plant based diet?
Some excellent sources of protein on a plant-based diet include legumes such as beans, lentils, and chickpeas; soy products like tofu and tempeh; grains such as quinoa and teff; nuts such as almonds, walnuts, and cashews; seeds such as pumpkin and sunflower; and green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. Many plant-based protein sources provide fiber along with essential micronutrients, such as vitamins or minerals. You can balance your nutrient needs by adding omega-3 fats to plant-based foods like flaxseeds. chia, walnuts, and hemp seeds.
What happens if you stop eating meat?
When you stop eating meat, your body will experience various changes. Your diet could be more fiber-rich and less saturated than if you switched from animal to plant protein. This could improve heart health as well as your digestive health. A better digestion and elimination of inflammatory foods, such as animal protein, may result in an increase energy level. It is possible that your moods will become more stable if stress hormones are reduced. A popular way to combat the environmental damage caused to factory farming is to change to a plant-based dietary.
Can I eat a diet that is plant-based and still eat eggs?
On a plant-based lifestyle, eggs are not permitted. This diet completely eliminates any animal products like meat, poultry, fish, or eggs. However, several vegan substitutes for traditionally egg-centric dishes offer similar flavor and texture without relying on animal products. Tofu scrambles and omelets are great breakfast options that have the same appearance and texture as eggs. They also provide plant-based protein. Chickpea flour and mashed banana can be used to replace eggs in baked goods. Aquafaba, which is the liquid in chickpea cans, can also be used as an alternative to eggs when making meringues and other desserts. Additionally, egg replacers like flaxseed meal or chia seeds mixed with water substituted for one large egg can help keep non-vegan recipes intact without sacrificing taste.
Is a Plant-Based Diet able to Lose Weight?
Yes, eating a plant based diet can help you lose weight. Eating various fruits and vegetables, legumes and nuts, seeds, whole grains, and other plant-based proteins can provide enough volume to fill you up without adding extra calories from unhealthy fats or carbohydrates. A well-rounded vegan meal plan is usually low in saturated fat and cholesterol-containing foods like red meat and processed snacks that tend to add weight instead of take it away. Additionally, research shows that following a plant-based diet may help boost metabolism and lower some risk factors for obesity, such as inflammation. Healthy ingredients rich in fiber can help you lose weight while providing essential vitamins and minerals your body requires.
Statistics
According to research published, going plant-based can cut grocery bills by $750 a year per person, Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition. (forksoverknives.com)
Another found that following a diet rich in plant foods and lower in animal foods was associated with a 16 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease and a 31 to 32 percent lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease. (everydayhealth.com)
How do I make sure I get enough protein from a plant based diet?
It is possible to ensure you get enough plant-based protein with the right combination. A variety of plant-based protein sources include nuts, legumes and seeds as well as tofu, tempeh and quinoa. These foods should be included into your daily diet. If you want to maximize your nutrition intake and still eat a vegan diet, you should consider superfoods like spinach and gojiberries. These superfoods are packed with vitamins, minerals, and contain high amounts of nutrients.
In addition to eating plant-based proteins in meals throughout the day, it is beneficial to supplement a vegan diet with additional protein sources; look for products like plant-based protein powders, nut butter, or collagen peptides (derived from plants) that can be blended into smoothies or other recipes as desired. If you don’t feel like you’re getting enough protein by eating only plant-based proteins, then you should consider supplementation with high quality supplements. High-quality pills, capsules and tablets can provide you with the exact amount you need.
