Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 2 cups Crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup Quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, making sure there’s overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and milk. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it cook for 1-2 minutes while stirring. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and pinch of salt.
While the mixture is still warm, add in the crushed graham crackers, quick-cooking oats, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Mix until everything is evenly coated and combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it down firmly into an even layer using the back of a spoon or a flat spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is completely set.
Once set, lift the parchment paper to remove the block from the pan. Cut into 12 squares using a sharp knife.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
