Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and 1 cup of the chocolate chips together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until smooth and combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, crushed graham crackers, and optional nuts if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake, as you want the squares to remain fudgy.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
