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 each)
- 1 package mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the crust.
- Prepare pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan using 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 evenly mixed.
- Press crust: Evenly distribute the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the baking pan. Use your fingers to firmly press and pack it along the bottom and sides to form an even crust.
- Bake crust: Bake the crust in the oven for about 5-8 minutes until the edges start to turn golden brown. Note that the crust will harden as it cools.
- Cool crust: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the crust to cool completely.
- Layer chocolate: Lay the Hershey bars over the cooled graham cracker crust, covering the surface as evenly as possible.
- Melt chocolate: Return the pan to the oven for approximately 3 minutes, just until the chocolate starts to melt and appear shiny.
- Cool slightly: Let the chocolate cool for 1-2 minutes to set lightly.
- Add marshmallows: Arrange mini marshmallows closely packed on top of the melted chocolate layer.
- Broil marshmallows: Set the oven to broil and place the pan inside. Watch carefully and broil the marshmallows for about 2 minutes until they begin to brown. Remove immediately to prevent burning.
- Cool completely: Allow the bars to cool completely. For best results, refrigerate to help them set and make cutting easier.
- Serve: Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water and dried to slice the bars. Repeat warming the knife as needed to prevent stickiness. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- The amount of butter can be adjusted between 8-12 tablespoons depending on desired crust firmness.
- Watch the marshmallows carefully during broiling to avoid burning or catching fire.
- Refrigerating the bars after assembling helps them set and makes slicing easier.
- Use a warm, dry knife to cut through the sticky bars cleanly.
