Ingredients

• 1 pound pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 2 graham crackers, crushed
• 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame

1. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the oiled napkins.
3. Light the paper and let the fire build for about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

1. Roll out the pizza dough to about 12 inches in diameter.
2. Brush both sides with melted butter for a crisp and flavorful crust.

Step 3: Grill the Pizza Base

1. Place the dough directly on the flat-top cooktop, closer to the center for a higher heat sear.
2. Grill for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
3. Flip the dough and grill the other side for another 3 minutes, then move it slightly outward to a cooler heat zone.

Step 4: Add the Toppings

1. Evenly spread the chocolate chips over the pizza crust.
2. Sprinkle the mini marshmallows on top.
3. Cover with crushed graham crackers and drizzle with honey.

Step 5: Melt and Toast

1. Move the pizza towards the hotter inner edge of the cooktop, ensuring even heat exposure.
2. Let the chocolate melt and the marshmallows toast for about 2–3 minutes, rotating occasionally.
3. When the marshmallows are perfectly golden and gooey, remove the pizza from the grill.

Tips

• Use a pizza peel or large spatula to easily manage the pizza on the flat-top griddle.
• For extra flavor, use cinnamon-flavored graham crackers.
• Adjust placement on the cooktop for ideal toasting—closer to the center for quicker melting and crisping.

Variations

1. Peanut Butter Delight: Spread a thin layer of peanut butter before adding chocolate for a nutty twist.
2. Caramel Bliss: Add caramel drizzle for an extra layer of sweetness.
3. Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt: Swap semi-sweet chocolate with dark chocolate and add a pinch of sea salt.
4. Strawberry S'mores: Add fresh strawberry slices before toasting.
5. Mint Chocolate Treat: Use mint chocolate chips for a refreshing flavor.

Best Pairings

• A warm cup of hot chocolate
• Cold vanilla ice cream
• Toasted almonds for crunch
• A glass of chilled milk
• Fresh berries for a fruity contrast
