Peeps Skillet Smores (Printable Version)
Gooey chocolate and toasted Peeps create this colorful, shareable skillet dessert perfect for gatherings.
# What You Need:
→ Chocolate Layer
01 - 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
02 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
→ Marshmallow Layer
03 - 18 Peeps marshmallow chicks or bunnies
→ Dippers
04 - 12 graham crackers, broken into pieces
# Directions:
01 - Preheat your oven to 400°F.
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. Serve immediately with graham cracker pieces for dipping, scooping up molten chocolate and gooey Peeps with each bite.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The playful pop of pastel colors makes everyone smile before they even take a bite
- Everything melts together in one skillet meaning zero cleanup and maximum gooey reward
02 -
- I learned the hard way that 7 minutes creates burnt marshmallow sadness. Check at 4 minutes and every minute after.
- The skillet stays dangerously hot for a long time. Keep oven mitts nearby even during serving.
03 -
- Let the skillet sit in a warm oven at 200°F if youre not ready to serve immediately. It keeps everything melted without continuing to cook.
- Use mini Peeps for more surface coverage and quicker melting time. Regular Peeps work but minis create more marshmallow to chocolate ratio.
