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. Mix everything together until the dry ingredients are well incorporated.

    Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Gradually pour in the melted unsalted butter. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it reaches a wet sandy consistency. If the mixture appears too dry, add a little more melted butter until it holds together when pressed.

      Form the Base: Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring that you leave some excess paper hanging over the edges for easy removal later. Transfer the crumb mixture into the prepared dish, pressing it down firmly and evenly using the back of a measuring cup or your hands to create a solid base.

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

          Spread the Chocolate Layer: Once melted, pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the graham cracker base. Using a spatula, spread it evenly to cover the entire surface.

            Add the Marshmallows: Generously sprinkle the mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate layer. For a better adherence, lightly press them down into the chocolate if desired.

              Chill and Set: Carefully place the dish in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for a minimum of 2 hours, or until the chocolate layer is solid and firm.

                Cut and Serve: Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the dish. Cut them into squares or rectangles for serving. For an extra special touch, you can toast additional marshmallows on a skewer over a flame and place one on each bar just before serving.
