Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal, and lightly grease the parchment paper.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in 15-30 second intervals until fully melted. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until well combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the graham cracker crumbs, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and stir until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Spread 2/3 of the dough mixture evenly onto the prepared baking pan, pressing it down lightly with a spatula or your hands to create a flat base.
Sprinkle the milk chocolate chips and mini marshmallows evenly over the dough base.
Drop spoonfuls of the remaining dough over the chocolate chips and marshmallows, trying to cover as much as possible. It’s okay if some marshmallows and chocolate chips peek through.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Be careful not to overbake as the bars will firm up as they cool.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan once cooled.
Cut into 16 squares or bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
