Description

The crisp, buttery crust gives way to a river of warm chocolate and pillowy marshmallows toasted to golden perfection—each square stretches into gooey bliss that echoes campfire memories.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  4. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly golden, then remove from the oven and set aside.
  5. While the crust bakes, place chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a heatproof bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth.
  6. Stir in vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
  7. Pour the chocolate mixture over the warm crust and spread it into an even layer.
  8. Evenly sprinkle mini marshmallows over the chocolate layer.
  9. Switch the oven to broil on high and place the pan on the top rack. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely, until the marshmallows are toasted golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before lifting the bars out using the parchment overhang and cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Use dark chocolate chips for a richer, more intense chocolate flavor.
  • Keep a close eye on the marshmallows under the broiler to prevent burning.
  • Bars are best served slightly warm for maximum gooeyness.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
