Let’s dive into this easy recipe!
Ingredients
1 stick unsalted butter (plus more for greasing, at room temperature)
⅔ cup brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 ⅓ cups flour
1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup mini marshmallows
Equipment
9×13-inch baking pan
Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt.
Press the graham cracker crust into the greased baking pan and bake for 10 minutes (the crust will harden as it cools).
Layer the baked crust with 4 cups of mini marshmallows and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Let the bars cool for 5 minutes to allow the marshmallows to deflate slightly.
Add a whole bag of milk chocolate chips in an even layer over the marshmallows.
Top with the remaining marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs.
Bake for another 10 minutes.
Chill the bars completely before slicing.
