Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 8–12 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Topping
- 4 Hershey Chocolate Bars (4.4 ounce bars each)
- 1 package mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter (start with 8 tablespoons and add more if needed to get a sandy, moldable texture), and powdered sugar. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press crust into pan: Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish. Press the graham cracker crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the dish, creating a compact and uniform layer.
- Bake the crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes until it’s set and lightly golden. This will help it hold together under the toppings.
- Add chocolate layer: Remove the crust from the oven and immediately place the Hershey chocolate bars evenly over the warm crust, allowing them to begin melting.
- Top with marshmallows: Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the melted chocolate layer.
- Bake until marshmallows are toasted: Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for another 3-5 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed and golden brown on top.
- Cool and serve: Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature before slicing into squares to serve. This helps the layers set and makes for easier cutting.
Notes
- Use more or less butter depending on the texture of the graham cracker mixture; it should hold together when pressed.
- You can substitute regular marshmallows if mini ones are unavailable, just spread them evenly.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use semi-sweet or milk chocolate bars of your choice.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs.
