Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs coarse crushed
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 4 cups marshmallows large, gooey
  • 1 cup chocolate chips melting variety
  • 1 tablespoon honey or corn syrup optional, for gloss
  • Pinch salt

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spatula
  • Microwave or double boiler for melting chocolate

Method
 

  1. Crush the graham crackers into coarse crumbs and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
  2. Pour the melted butter over the graham cracker crumbs and stir until evenly coated and crumbly.
  3. Press the buttery crumbs into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, creating an even crust. Use the back of a spatula to press firmly and compact the crust.
  4. Spread the marshmallows evenly over the crust. Use a spatula to gently press them down, ensuring a smooth, sticky layer that covers the entire surface.
  5. Heat the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler until smooth and glossy, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Add a tablespoon of honey or corn syrup if desired for extra shine.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the marshmallow layer, tilting the pan to spread it for a glossy, sticky top. The chocolate should start to set as it cools.
  7. Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours until the chocolate is firm and the marshmallow is set.
  8. Once chilled, remove from the fridge and cut into squares using a sharp knife. The bars should be firm, with a crackling crust, chewy marshmallow, and shiny chocolate top.
  9. Serve immediately for the best texture—crisp crust, gooey middle, and luscious chocolate top. Enjoy the satisfying snap and stretch with every bite!
