(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
-
Prepare the Pan – Place 1 slice of bread onto a frying pan. Set the heat to low (level 1 or 2). This process requires low heat to ensure the marshmallows and chocolate melt properly without burning the bread.
-
Add the Filling – Place chocolate chips and mini marshmallows on top of the slice of bread in the pan. Top with the second slice of bread.
-
Grill Slowly – Grill the sandwich slowly on one side until golden brown. Flip the sandwich carefully and grill the other side the same way, ensuring the marshmallows and chocolate melt inside. The key is to go slow and be patient for the perfect melt!
-
Serve – Once both sides are golden and the filling is gooey, remove the sandwich from the pan and serve immediately.

FAQs
Can I make this with regular marshmallows instead of mini ones?
Yes, you can cut regular marshmallows into smaller pieces to fit in the sandwich.
What type of bread works best?
A sturdy bread like white, whole wheat, or sourdough works best for grilling, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand.
Can I add fruit to the filling?
Yes, fresh berries like raspberries or sliced bananas would complement the chocolate and marshmallows nicely.
Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?
For best results, it’s best made fresh as the marshmallows can lose their texture when stored. However, you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time and assemble when ready to cook.
How can I make the sandwich extra crispy?
If you want a crispier sandwich, you can butter the outside of the bread before grilling, just like a traditional grilled cheese.
