Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate bars, broken into pieces
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract. Using a fork or your hands, mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or a square baking pan. Make sure to pack it tightly to create a sturdy crust. You can use the bottom of a measuring cup to help with this.
- Once the crust is evenly spread, place it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set while you prepare the filling.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. This will help prevent the marshmallows from melting too quickly when added.
- After the chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, pour it over the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Next, sprinkle the mini marshmallows over the chocolate layer. Make sure to cover the entire surface for that classic s’mores look!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature to get those marshmallows golden and toasty.
- Once the oven is preheated, place the dessert in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you want the marshmallows to puff up and turn a lovely golden brown.
- After baking, remove the dessert from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes. This will help the chocolate set a bit more before slicing.
- Once cooled, take the broken pieces of milk chocolate bars and sprinkle them over the top of the marshmallows. This adds an extra layer of chocolatey goodness.
- For an added touch, you can use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the marshmallows even further. Just be careful not to burn them!
- Let the dessert cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- When youre ready to serve, use a sharp knife to cut into squares or wedges. Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy the gooey, chocolatey goodness!
Notes
- For an extra treat, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. The cold ice cream pairs perfectly with the warm, gooey s’mores dessert.
- Drizzle some chocolate sauce or caramel sauce over the top for an indulgent finish.
- If you want to get creative, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before serving. It enhances the flavors beautifully!
