Necessary Kitchen Equipment
- 9×13-inch baking dish
- Mixing bowls
- Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Make the Crust:
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even crust.
3. Layer the Ingredients:
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the crust, followed by a layer of mini marshmallows.
4. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk:
Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the marshmallows and chocolate chips.
5. Bake the Bars:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and gooey.
6. Cool and Slice:
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. For cleaner cuts, chill the bars in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before slicing.
