Ingredients

1½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1½ cups powdered sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

2 cups mini marshmallows

1½ cups chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white)

½ cup chopped nuts (optional: walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.

Mix Base:
In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Stir in melted butter and sweetened condensed milk until a thick batter forms.

Add Mix-Ins:
Fold in mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and nuts (if using).

Bake:
Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until edges are set and center is slightly firm.

Cool & Slice:
Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan. Slice into 24 bars once fully cooled.

Notes

Let bars cool fully before slicing to avoid crumbling.

Use parchment paper for easy removal.

Add dried cranberries, raisins, or festive sprinkles for variation.

Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
