Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 7–8 full sheets graham crackers
Chocolate and Sweet Additions:
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 1.55 oz Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Coat a 13×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving 2-inch overhangs. Arrange 7-8 graham cracker sheets across the bottom, breaking pieces to create a complete layer.
- Cream 2 sticks of room temperature butter with ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup brown sugar using an electric mixer until fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix thoroughly until smooth and combined.
- Separately whisk 3 cups all-purpose flour with ¾ teaspoon salt and ¾ teaspoon baking soda.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just incorporated.
- Mix in ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup mini marshmallows.
- Spread the cookie dough evenly across the graham cracker base, pressing gently to create a uniform layer.
- Sprinkle additional mini marshmallows across the top of the dough.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top turns golden and set.
- If marshmallows brown too quickly, cover the pan loosely with foil during the final 10 minutes of baking.
- After removing from the oven, immediately place 2 Hershey’s chocolate bars (1.55 oz each) on top.
- Let the chocolate soften, then spread gently with a spatula if desired.
- Allow bars to cool in the pan for 20-30 minutes.
- Lift the bars out using parchment paper overhangs.
- Slice into squares or rectangles and serve.
Notes
- Always use room temperature butter to ensure smooth, even mixing in the cookie dough.
- Graham crackers form a perfect crispy base, so press them down gently to create an even layer.
- For extra gooey marshmallows, add the additional marshmallows during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Check your bars at 25 minutes to prevent over-browning, as oven temperatures can vary slightly.
