Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

This recipe doesn’t require fancy gadgets, just a few reliable kitchen basics to keep everything simple and stress-free.

  • 9×13-inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups & spoons
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven mitts
  • Wire rack for cooling

Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and salt. Mix until evenly coated. Press firmly into the pan to form a crust.
  3. Add Chocolate & Marshmallows: Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the crust. Then scatter mini marshmallows on top.
  4. Mix the Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of this dough mixture over the marshmallow layer.
  5. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for 25–28 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the edges are bubbling
  6. Cool & Slice: Allow bars to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares. (They’ll firm up as they cool — patience pays off!)

Pro Tips

  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or refrigerate for a chewier texture.
  • Substitution Tip: Swap chocolate chips for dark chocolate chunks for a richer, grown-up flavor.
  • Make Ahead: Bake and freeze up to 2 months — just thaw before serving.
  • Serving Idea: Warm individual squares for 10 seconds in the microwave for that fresh-from-the-fire gooeyness!
