Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs crushed until sandy
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet preferred
  • 4 cups marshmallows puffed and sticky
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk about 14 oz
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • a pinch salt to enhance flavor

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Microwave or double boiler
  • Broiler
  • Spatula
  • measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a bowl, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated and hold together when pressed.
  2. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, creating an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips until smooth and glossy, stirring occasionally.
  4. Evenly spread the melted chocolate over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Pour the marshmallows into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until puffed and soft.
  6. Spread the marshmallows evenly over the chocolate layer, pressing down gently to help them stick.
  7. Place the dish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely until the marshmallows puff up and turn golden brown.
  8. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, allowing the marshmallow topping to set slightly.
  9. Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled and firm before cutting into squares.
  10. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares, serving once fully set and slightly gooey.
  11. Enjoy these rich, sticky, and crunchy bars as a decadent treat or dessert!
