Scale
Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 12 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Topping
- 4 Hershey chocolate bars (4.4 ounce bars each)
- 1 package mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare it for baking the crust.
- Prepare the baking pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly with non-stick butter spray to prevent sticking.
- Make the crust mixture: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Mix well with a spoon until evenly combined.
- Form the crust: Evenly distribute the crust mixture along the bottom and sides of the prepared pan. Press it down firmly with your fingers to pack it tightly.
- Bake the crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Remove and allow it to cool, during which it will harden further.
- Add chocolate layer: Arrange the Hershey chocolate bars over the cooled crust, covering it completely as much as possible.
- Melt the chocolate: Return the pan to the oven for 3 minutes, or until the chocolate just begins to melt and turns shiny. Remove from oven and let cool for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add marshmallows: Evenly place mini marshmallows on top of the melted chocolate, packing them closely together.
- Broil the marshmallows: Turn the oven setting to broil. Place the pan in the oven under the broiler, watching closely. Only broil for about 2 minutes until marshmallows start to brown—watch carefully to prevent burning or catching fire.
- Cool and set: Remove from oven and let cool completely. For easier cutting, refrigerate the bars to set further.
- Cut and serve: To cut cleanly, warm a sharp knife under hot water, dry it, then slice the bars. Repeat if the knife becomes sticky. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Use the higher amount of melted butter (12 tablespoons) for a firmer crust that holds together well.
- Watch the marshmallows closely while broiling to prevent burning or catching fire.
- Refrigerate the bars after cooling to make cutting easier and cleaner.
- Use a warm, dry knife to slice through the sticky bars cleanly; rinse and warm the knife again if needed.
- You can substitute Hershey bars with any milk chocolate bar of similar size if preferred.
