Packed with semi-sweet chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, crushed graham crackers, and a sprinkle of chopped nuts, these bars deliver layers of texture in every bite.

With just 20 minutes of prep time, this easy dessert will be your go-to for parties, potlucks, or snack-worthy cravings. Serve these heavenly squares at room temperature and watch them disappear! Perfect for anyone who loves a sweet, chocolate-filled surprise.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted butter-chocolate mixture until combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, and whisk until smooth and glossy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Stir in the chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, and crushed graham crackers until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the Chocolate Goodies Squares to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into 16 squares.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
