Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 cups graham cracker cereal (or crushed graham crackers)
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the lining with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the mixture over a double boiler on the stove.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt to the melted chocolate mixture.
Add the mini marshmallows and graham cracker cereal to the chocolate mixture. Gently fold until the marshmallows and cereal are evenly coated with the chocolate.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Using a spatula, press it down evenly into the pan, ensuring a level surface.
Refrigerate the pan for 2 hours, or until the chocolate is firm and set.
Once set, use the parchment paper or foil overhang to lift the block out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into 16 squares with a sharp knife.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
