Because it’s just too hot to have a fire here in the summer.
I know this isn’t true for everyone…especially my friends who live up north. Summer evenings are perfect for campfires and s’mores!
But if you live in the south like yours truly and the thought of a campfire in the summer makes you want to melt, you can do this instead.
A s’mores dip. Made in the slow cooker.
I recommend making this in a small “dipper” type of slow cooker.
But if you don’t have one, you can place a small dish inside your slow cooker.
(Details on that below.)
This is an amazing summer dessert and super fun treat for your kiddos. (And yourself too!)
If you’re going to make this and set it out for little hands to get their own treats out of the bowl, be sure to watch closely (or spoon onto a small plate for them) as the serving dish will be hot!
NOTE: If you have a mini slow cooker, then this is a perfect recipe for it! A normal sized slow cooker is too deep to reach into to dip, especially for little hands. So, I’ve written the directions out to use a small dish that will fit inside your normal slow cooker. This way you can remove the dish to serve.
