Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 Cups graham cracker crumbs
- 8-12 Tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 Cup powdered sugar
Topping
- 4 Hershey Chocolate Bars (4.4 ounce bars each)
- 1 package mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crust.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with non-stick butter spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Crust Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Stir well until fully incorporated to form the crust mixture.
- Press Crust: Evenly spread the crust mixture into the prepared pan and firmly press it down with your fingers to pack it tightly along the bottom and sides.
- Bake Crust: Bake the crust in the oven for 5-8 minutes, or until the edges start turning golden brown. Remove and allow it to cool; the crust will harden as it cools.
- Layer Chocolate: Lay the Hershey chocolate bars evenly over the cooled crust, covering it completely.
- Melt Chocolate: Return the pan to the oven for about 3 minutes until the chocolate just begins to melt and becomes shiny.
- Cool Slightly: Let the chocolate layer cool for 1-2 minutes to settle.
- Add Marshmallows: Arrange mini marshmallows closely next to each other on top of the melted chocolate, covering the entire surface.
- Broil Marshmallows: Set the oven to broil and place the pan in. Watch carefully for about 2 minutes until the marshmallows brown to your liking. Remove immediately to prevent burning.
- Cool Completely: Allow the bars to cool fully. For easier cutting, refrigerate them to set the layers further.
- Serve: Using a sharp knife warmed under hot water and dried, slice the bars to serve. Repeat warming the knife if it becomes sticky to ensure clean cuts.
Notes
- Use melted butter to help bind the graham cracker crust when mixed with powdered sugar and crumbs.
- Watch the marshmallows closely while broiling to avoid burning or setting them on fire.
- Refrigerating the bars before cutting makes slicing easier and less sticky.
- Using a hot, dry knife helps make clean cuts without sticking.
