It is August and still fairly warm outside, but last week we had some very cool weather in Virginia for the this time of year. The cool nights got me thinking about jeans, sweatshirts, and sitting outside by a fire with friends and roasting marshmallows to make s’mores.
Now you can bring the camp fire experience inside (well almost 🙂 ) with this gooey and melty s’more cheesecake dip. Of course this s’more dip features the main ingredients of a s’more: chocolate, toasted marshmallows, and graham crackers, but it adds in another dimension of flavor with a layer of cream cheese goodness on the bottom. I think this helps balance out the sweetness of the chocolate and marshmallows although this is definitely a rich, dessert dip.
This yummy dip is great anytime of year and gets a thumbs up from both kids and adults too!
