Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press evenly into the pan to form the crust.
3. In another bowl, cream softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
4. Stir in flour and baking soda until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
5. Spoon cookie dough over the crust and gently spread it out evenly.
6. Bake for 18–20 minutes until the top is just turning golden.
7. Remove from oven and scatter mini marshmallows evenly on top.
8. Return to oven for 5 minutes, or until marshmallows are puffed and lightly toasted.
9. Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into bars.
Notes
Use room temperature butter for best texture in the dough.
Line your pan with parchment for easy removal and clean slicing.
Don’t overbake—pull them out when the edges are golden and center is just set.
