Filling
- 350 g chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate)
- 6 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the S’mores.
- Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, gently melt ½ cup of unsalted butter.
- Mix Sugar: Stir in ½ cup of brown sugar until it dissolves completely into the melted butter, creating a smooth mixture.
- Add Crumbs and Vanilla: Incorporate 2½ cups of graham cracker crumbs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, stirring well to combine into a crumbly mixture.

- Layer Marshmallows: Spread 6 cups of mini marshmallows evenly over the chocolate chips, adding gooey texture to the dessert.
- Top with Remaining Crumbs: Crumble the remaining graham cracker mixture and sprinkle it over the marshmallows for added crunch and flavor.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18 minutes until the marshmallows are puffed and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked S’mores to cool for a few minutes, then slice into squares and serve.
Notes
- Use dark or milk chocolate chips based on your preference for sweetness.
- Press the graham cracker mixture firmly to ensure the base holds together during baking.
- Keep an eye on the marshmallows while baking to prevent burning; they should be golden brown and puffed.
- Allow the dessert to cool slightly to make slicing easier and to avoid burns from melted chocolate.
- This recipe can be adapted for vegan diets by using dairy-free butter, chocolate chips, and marshmallows.
