Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars
2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Press firmly into bottom of the pan.
3. In a large bowl, beat together remaining brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened butter until fluffy.
4. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
5. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
6. Spread the cookie dough evenly over the graham crust.
7. Sprinkle chocolate chips or chopped chocolate evenly over dough, gently pressing in.
8. Scatter mini marshmallows in an even layer over the chocolate.
9. Bake for 23–27 minutes, or until marshmallows are golden and the cookie layer is set.
10. For extra-toasty marshmallows, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching closely.
11. Let cool in the pan, then lift out and slice into bars. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For neat slices, let the bars cool completely before cutting.
Swap in peanut butter or Nutella for a fun flavor twist.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
