Ingredients
  

Chocolate chips
  • 2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Marshmallow layer
  • 4 cup large marshmallows
Flag toppings
  • 1 cup blueberries Use for the upper corner.
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries Use for the horizontal stripes.
Serving dippers
  • 0.5 Graham crackers For serving/dipping.
  • 0.5 Pretzel sticks For serving/dipping.

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Bake the chocolate and marshmallows
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Make sure the oven is fully heated before baking.
  2. 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.
  3. Arrange large marshmallows over the chocolate in a single layer. Keep gaps minimal so the surface toasts evenly.
  4. Bake for 6–8 minutes until marshmallows are golden. Look for tops that are lightly browned and slightly puffed.
  5. Remove from oven carefully. Set on a heat-safe surface to avoid scorching the skillet or toppings.
Assemble the patriotic flag
  1. Create an American flag design using blueberries in the upper corner. Keep the berries clustered to form a clear blue field.
  2. Arrange sliced strawberries into horizontal stripes. Place them evenly across the surface for a neat red stripe pattern.
Serve
  1. 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.
