Lifestyle blog Homemade Hooplah shares a cookie dip inspired by the campfire sandwich treat S'mores that replicates the same flavors and taste, but changes the food's presentation to a deconstructed state. Rather than the dish be served as a warm sandwich, the gooey chocolate and marshmallow filling is served as a spread that graham crackers can be dipped into. The dessert is designed for sharing and ideal to enjoy at parties or events when a campfire isn't present.
The dip is made using cream cheese, whipping cream and marshmallow fluff to achieve the creamy and gooey texture of toasted marshmallows. Cocoa powder is then swirled in to recreate the chocolate bar element. The thick mixture is served in a bowl with the graham crackers scattered around for dipping.
