We do want to remind you to be extra careful when handling the cast iron skillet once it's been preheated and when you're serving the s'mores. One of the things that makes it perfect for this recipe—its ability to hold heat for a long time—is also something to be cautious of. The skillet may stay hot for longer than you expect it, so always handle it with an oven mitt.
Preheat oven to 450° F with a 12" cast iron skillet on the center rack.
When the oven is preheated, carefully remove the skillet. Place some butter in the skillet and swirl it around to coat the coat the entire cooking area, including the sides.
Pour an even layer of chocolate chips into the skillet.
Carefully arrange a layer of halved marshmallows on top of the chocolate; cover the chocolate completely by packing the marshmallows tightly.
Bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until marshmallows are toasted to your liking.
Remove the skillet from the oven, and let it cool for five minutes.
Serve your S'mores Dip warm with graham crackers for dipping.
