Step 3: Stir in the brown sugar until it dissolves completely.
Step 4: Add the graham cracker crumbs and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, try adding chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the graham cracker mixture.
Use flavored marshmallows such as strawberry or caramel for a unique twist.
Swap chocolate chips for peanut butter chips or white chocolate for different flavor profiles.
Press the graham cracker crust firmly to ensure it holds together well after baking.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To enjoy warm again, heat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5–7 minutes to soften the marshmallows without burning them.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the graham cracker mixture and layer the ingredients in the baking dish ahead of time. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.

What if I don’t have mini marshmallows?

You can chop regular-sized marshmallows into smaller pieces to create a similar effect, but mini marshmallows will melt more evenly for the best texture.
