There’s never really a bad time for a big scoop of bourbon bacon skillet s’mores dip. This version is amped up with everyone’s favorite: BACON! And there’s an adult version with bourbon in it.
I love skillet cookies because they are so accessible and you can’t go wrong with mixing all of the ingredients together. Just like this bourbon bacon skillet s’mores. It’s so easy, so chocolatey, and so comforting! Plus, bacon will add a crispy, crunchy texture and salty, savory, even smoky flavor.
The ingredients
This skillet s’mores dip is super easy and it only takes 5 ingredients to make.
- Bourbon. Another option is to use a teaspoon or two of vanilla extract
- Bacon to add saltiness flavors
- Marshmallow. I use jumbo size; however, you can also use regular size
- Chocolate. I use chocolate chips but this recipe also works with regular chocolate. Hint: dark chocolate also works well in this s’mores dip or a combination or semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips
- Graham crackers for dipping
How to make skillet s’mores dip with bourbon bacon
All you need is an oven and a 10-inch cast-iron skillet; however, you can follow the steps below:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F
- Stack the bacon strips directly on top of one another in piles. Slice the strips in half lengthwise and cut horizontally into chunks Add the bacon into a cast skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes over medium high heat; then transfer to the oven for 20 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside
- Preheat the broiler on high. Discard extra liquid of bacon fat, but let the cast skillet is lightly coated in bacon fat
- Pour chocolate chips in an even layer into the bottom of the skillet
- Pour bourbon over chocolate; then sprinkle with crumbly bacon bits
- Spread the marshmallows over the chocolate chips, covering the chocolate completely
- Bake for 5-7 minutes or until marshmallows are toasted to your preference
- Serve in the skillet and use graham cracker squares for dipping
