Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract and egg until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
- Press two-thirds (2/3) of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the base layer.
- Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly over the base layer of dough.
- Distribute the chocolate chips over the graham cracker layer.
- Crumble the remaining one-third (1/3) of the dough over the chocolate chips.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Carefully sprinkle the mini marshmallows over the top layer.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed and lightly golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- For a richer flavor in the base, use melted butter instead of softened butter in step 3.
- You can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips based on your preference.
- If you do not have mini marshmallows, you can chop up larger marshmallows, but they may brown faster.
- Allowing the bars to cool fully makes cutting much cleaner.
