Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

½ cup granulated sugar

1 ½ cups mini marshmallows

1 cup milk chocolate chips

½ cup peanut butter (or almond butter for a twist)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.

    Form the crust: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking dish, creating an even layer. Use the back of a measuring cup or your hands to ensure it's tightly packed.

      Add the chocolate layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.

        Layer onto the crust: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the graham cracker crust and spread evenly. Tap the dish gently on the counter to eliminate air bubbles.

          Top with marshmallows: Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the melted chocolate layer. Using a kitchen torch, lightly toast the marshmallows until golden brown (or use your broiler for a few seconds if you don’t have a torch). Keep a close eye to avoid burning!

            Chill: Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until set. This step is crucial as it helps everything stick together.

              Slice and serve: Once chilled, lift the bars out of the dish using the sides of the parchment. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy your gooey, sweet, and delicious No-Bake S’mores Bars!
