Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Filling & Topping
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate, melted for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the bars.
- Prepare the crust mixture. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and kosher salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand, ensuring even consistency.
- Form the crust. Firmly press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a sturdy crust base for the bars.
- Bake the crust. Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Once baked, remove it and let it cool slightly to set before adding toppings.
- Add the chocolate and marshmallows. Evenly sprinkle the milk chocolate chips over the crust, then top them with an even layer of mini marshmallows to create a gooey, melty top.
- Drizzle condensed milk. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the chocolate chips and marshmallows, ensuring it is distributed evenly for added richness and gooey texture.
- Bake to finish. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the marshmallows turn golden brown and achieve a gooey consistency.
- Cool the bars. Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes to help the bars firm up while retaining their gooey texture.
- Drizzle melted chocolate. Once slightly cooled, drizzle the melted semisweet chocolate over the bars to add an extra layer of rich chocolate flavor and an elegant finish.
- Slice and serve. Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into squares and serving to ensure they hold their shape and offer the perfect gooey bite.
Notes
- For easier cutting, chill the bars in the refrigerator after cooling completely.
- You can substitute milk chocolate chips with dark or white chocolate chips according to your preference.
- Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts to get neat squares.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- If you want a crispier crust, bake it for an additional 2–3 minutes before adding toppings.
