Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust and Topping
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling
- 350 g chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate)
- 6 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the S’Mores.
- Melt Butter and Mix Sugar: In a medium saucepan over low heat, gently melt ½ cup of unsalted butter. Stir in ½ cup of brown sugar until it completely dissolves, creating a rich, sweet base mixture.
- Combine Crumbs and Vanilla: Remove from heat, then stir in 2½ cups of graham cracker crumbs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and crumbly.
- Form the Base Layer: Press half of the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a baking dish, creating a solid crust layer.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Spread 350 g of chocolate chips evenly over the graham cracker crust.
- Layer Marshmallows: Distribute 6 cups of mini marshmallows evenly on top of the chocolate chips for that gooey texture.
- Add Crumbled Topping: Crumble the remaining half of the graham cracker mixture and sprinkle it over the marshmallows.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18 minutes, or until the marshmallows have puffed and turned golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked S’Mores to cool for a few minutes, then cut into squares and enjoy the delightful, melty treat.
Notes
- You can substitute dark chocolate chips with milk or semi-sweet for different flavor profiles.
- For an extra crunch, toast the graham cracker crumbs lightly before mixing.
- Use a disposable aluminum baking dish for easy cleanup when making S’Mores outdoors.
- Keep an eye on the marshmallows while baking to prevent them from burning.
- Best served warm to enjoy the gooey texture of melted chocolate and toasted marshmallows.
