Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Sweeteners:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Heat your oven to exactly 350°F and coat an 8×8 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Combine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup melted butter, and ¼ cup sugar in a medium mixing bowl until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
- Firmly press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating an even, compact base layer.
- Sprinkle 1 cup chocolate chips uniformly across the graham cracker crust, covering the entire surface.
- Distribute 1 cup mini marshmallows over the chocolate chips, ensuring they cover the entire top of the pan.
- Place the pan in the preheated 350°F oven and bake for exactly 15 minutes, watching carefully as marshmallows turn golden brown and puffy.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely at room temperature for 30 minutes before slicing into 9 equal squares.
Notes
- Crumble the graham crackers finely for a smoother, more even crust that holds together perfectly.
- Line the baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting of the bars.
- Toast the marshmallows carefully to get that perfect golden-brown color without burning them.
- For a gluten-free version, swap graham cracker crumbs with gluten-free cookie crumbs or almond flour.
