Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup powdered sugar

¾ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 cups mini marshmallows

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

½ cup creamy peanut butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, unsweetened cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Stir thoroughly until the dry ingredients are well mixed and free of lumps.

    Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually pour in the melted unsalted butter, stirring constantly. Continue mixing until the texture resembles damp sand. If the mixture appears too dry and crumbly, add a bit more melted butter until it easily holds together when squeezed in your hand.

      Form the Base: Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring the edges hang over for easy lifting later. Transfer the crumb mixture to the dish, pressing it down firmly with the back of a measuring cup or your clean hands to create an even, compact layer.

        Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Heat in the microwave using 30-second intervals, stirring well in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.

          Spread the Chocolate Layer: Carefully pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter concoction over the graham cracker base. Using a spatula, spread it evenly to ensure a uniform layer.

            Add the Marshmallows: Generously sprinkle the mini marshmallows over the chocolate layer. For a more secure placement, you can lightly press them down into the chocolate layer if desired.

              Chill and Set: Transfer the dish to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate layer is set and firm to the touch.

                Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles for serving. For a fun and elegant touch, toast some extra marshmallows on a skewer over an open flame and place one on top of each bar before serving.
