How to Make American Flag S’mores Dip
This simple, sweet dip is super easy. You will make it in no time!
- Prepare. Preheat your oven to 450°F.
- Make the Marshmallows. Fill two small bowls with red and blue sanding sugar. If desired, prepare a third bowl with white sanding sugar—but we prefer leaving the white marshmallows plain for that classic golden s’mores look.
- Skewer one marshmallow at a time with a toothpick and dip it into a bowl of water until fully coated.
- Let the excess water drip off, then roll the marshmallow in red or blue sugar. Make 3 blue marshmallows and 8 red marshmallows.
- Set aside 5 plain white marshmallows.
- Let all marshmallows sit for 5–10 minutes so the sugar dries and sets.
- Using clean kitchen scissors, cut all the marshmallows (coated and plain) in half. Wipe the blades between colors to keep things neat.
- Assemble the Dip. Pour a bag of chocolate chips into a 1-quart baking dish and spread into an even layer.
- Arrange the halved marshmallows cut-side down on top of the chocolate, starting with the blue marshmallows in the upper-left corner to form the “stars” section of the flag.
- Use the red and white marshmallows to create alternating stripes across the rest of the dish.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed and lightly golden on top.
- Serve warm with graham crackers for dipping and enjoy your patriotic creation!
Tips & Tricks – Patriotic Flag S’mores Dip
• If desired, prepare a third bowl with white sanding sugar for the white marshmallows, but we prefer leaving the white marshmallows plain for that classic golden s’mores look.
• Make these individually in ramekins. Get creative and do each one in different colors to arrange in the shape of an American flag.
• To store the dip, let it cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven (covered) or in the microwave in short increments to prevent burning.
