• 17.6 oz Hershey’s chocolate bars

• 1 package mini marshmallows

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal later.

2. Make the Graham Crust:
   In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated and the mixture holds together when pressed.

3. Form the Base:
   Press the graham mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed cup to firmly compact it into a solid crust.

4. Bake the Crust:
   Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, just until golden and set. Remove from the oven but keep it warm.

5. Add the Chocolate Layer:
   While the crust is still warm, lay the chocolate bars over the entire surface. Allow them to soften and melt slightly, then use a spatula to gently spread the chocolate into an even layer.

6. Top with Marshmallows:
   Sprinkle the mini marshmallows generously over the melted chocolate, covering every edge.

7. Toast the Top:
   Return the dish to the oven for 5–7 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed and lightly golden. For a deeper toasted effect, you can broil them for 1–2 minutes—just keep a close eye!

8. Cool and Slice:
   Let the bars cool completely at room temperature or chill slightly to help them set. Once firm, slice into squares using a sharp knife. Clean the knife between cuts for neat edges.
