🍫 Ingredients
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1½ cups mini marshmallows
- Optional: ½ cup crushed graham crackers for topping
- Optional: milk chocolate chunks for a classic Hershey’s-style flavor
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease.
- Make the crust:
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even layer. - Layer chocolate:
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. - Bake:
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and top with mini marshmallows and crushed graham crackers (if using). - Finish baking:
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until marshmallows are golden and puffy. - Cool and slice:
Allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars. For cleaner cuts, chill briefly in the fridge first.
💡 Tips
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean slices.
- Toast the marshmallows under the broiler for an extra golden finish (watch closely!).
- Chill before slicing for neater bars.
- Use a serrated knife and wipe between cuts for clean edges.
🔁 Variations & Substitutions
- Add peanut butter chips or swirl in Nutella for a twist.
- Use white chocolate or dark chocolate chips for a flavor change.
- Make it extra gooey with a drizzle of melted chocolate on top.
- Try a cookie dough crust instead of graham crackers for a s’mores-cookie mash-up!
