Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate bars
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers, for topping (optional)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the dough.
- Top with the mini marshmallows.
- Crumble the remaining dough over the marshmallows, leaving some areas exposed.
- Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers and additional mini chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.
- Cool completely before slicing into bars.
Notes
- Allow the bars to cool fully for clean, even slices.
- Use chopped milk chocolate bars for gooey melted chocolate pockets.
- For extra toasted marshmallow flavor, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking while watching carefully.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- These bars also freeze well for up to 2 months.
