Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs or crushed digestive biscuits
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • optional additional toppings such as crushed graham crackers, chocolate drizzle, sea salt, chopped nuts

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of your baking pan to form a crust.
  2. Bake the crust for about 8-10 minutes until set and fragrant, then remove it from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second bursts, stirring between each until smooth and glossy. Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  4. Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the chocolate layer, covering all the way to the edges.
  5. Bake the assembled bars for another 8-10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed up and golden brown, filling your kitchen with a toasted marshmallow aroma.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature, or chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set firmly.
  7. Once cooled, cut into squares using a sharp knife. For cleaner cuts, wipe the knife clean between slices.
  8. Optionally, top with additional crushed graham crackers, a drizzle of melted chocolate, or a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor and texture.
  9. Serve the gooey, sticky bars with a fork or your fingers, and enjoy the irresistible combination of crispy crust, melty chocolate, and toasted marshmallows.
