Easy to make in just 15 minutes of active time, these crowd-pleasing bars are an ideal choice for anyone craving a decadent yet simple dessert.
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal later.
Arrange a layer of graham crackers on the bottom of the prepared dish. Break the sheets as necessary to fit snugly.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour half of the hot sugar mixture over the graham crackers in the dish, spreading evenly with a spatula. Add another layer of graham crackers on top.
Pour the remaining sugar mixture over the second layer of graham crackers and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the top, followed by the chocolate chips.
Set the pan under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and the chocolate chips begin to melt. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove the pan from the oven and let cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the dish. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
