Crust
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup Melted butter
Topping
- 4 cups Chocolate chips
- 1 package Mini marshmallows
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the crust and melting the toppings.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the bars later.
- Make Crust Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture holds together like wet sand.
- Form the Crust: Spread the graham cracker mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, pressing firmly to cover the bottom and slightly up the sides, creating a solid base.
- Bake Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes to set and slightly toast the crust.
- Add Toppings: Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the hot crust, followed by an even layer of mini marshmallows on top.
- Bake Bars: Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted.
- Cool and Chill: Allow the bars to cool at room temperature, then place in the refrigerator to chill and set for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
- Serve: Once chilled, cut into bars and enjoy the melty, gooey goodness of classic s’mores in bar form.
Notes
- Pressing the crust firmly helps it hold together when serving.
- Use full-sized marshmallows cut into smaller pieces if mini marshmallows are unavailable.
- Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
