Bake the chocolate and marshmallows
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Make sure the oven is fully heated before baking.
- Spread milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly into a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Aim for a uniform layer so it melts smoothly.
- Arrange large marshmallows over the chocolate in a single layer. Keep gaps minimal so the surface toasts evenly.
- Bake for 6–8 minutes until marshmallows are golden. Look for tops that are lightly browned and slightly puffed.
- Remove from oven carefully. Set on a heat-safe surface to avoid scorching the skillet or toppings.
Assemble the patriotic flag
- Create an American flag design using blueberries in the upper corner. Keep the berries clustered to form a clear blue field.
- Arrange sliced strawberries into horizontal stripes. Place them evenly across the surface for a neat red stripe pattern.
Serve
- Serve immediately while warm. Add graham crackers and pretzel sticks for dipping and enjoy right away.
Notes
Pro tip: If your marshmallows brown too fast, reduce the oven rack distance from the broiler or start checking at 5 minutes so they stay golden, not over-toasted. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days; rewarm in the oven just until soft (do not microwave too long). Freezing is not recommended because the toppings can weep. For a lower-sugar swap, use reduced-sugar chocolate chips while keeping the marshmallow-toasting time the same.
