Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Graham crackers
- 0.5 cups Butter
- 0.5 cups Packed brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 3 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cups Chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Arrange graham crackers in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared pan, breaking them into pieces if necessary to fit snugly.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and milk until fully combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the graham crackers, spreading gently with a spatula to ensure even coverage.
Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the caramel layer, followed by the shredded coconut and chopped nuts.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and toasted.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the dessert to cool completely at room temperature. For faster cooling, refrigerate for about 30 minutes once it has reached room temperature.
Once cooled, lift the parchment paper out of the pan and transfer the dessert to a cutting board. Slice into 24 squares or rectangles.
Serve and enjoy your decadent Caramel Heavenlies!
