These are fast to make and much easier to eat than the traditional campfire version. With just four ingredients, graham crackers, butter, marshmallows, and chocolate chips, these can be put together fast without baking.
Spray a square microwave-safe baking dish with nonstick cookin spray.
Break apart the graham crackers into smaller bite-size pieces.
Heat a pot on the stove over medium-high heat. Melt the butter, then add the marshmallows.
Stir the marshmallows frequently until they've melted. Remove from heat.
Add the broken crackers to the pot and mix together.
Scoop the mixture into the greased baking dish. Grease your fingertips then press the crackers down.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips overtop along with a handful of mini marshmallows.Place the whole dish in the microwave on high for 60-90 seconds or until marshmallows and chocolate start to melt just a bit. Let cool on the counter, then place in the fridge to chill and firm up for 1 hour.
Slice into squares, serve and enjoy!
Recipe Notes:
Use a microwave-safe square baking dish for this recipe.
Crush the graham crackers into small, bite-size pieces. If they’re too big, it will be harder to press them into the dish.
Use mini marshmallows if possible. These are perfect for sprinkling on top. If you have regular size marshmallows, you can cut them into smaller pieces and use those for the topping.
When pressing the melted marshmallows and graham crackers, be sure to grease your fingertips with a bit of cooking oil. This will make it easier to press without sticking.
The recipe is heated in the microwave for 30-90 seconds. Melt in 30-second increments, keeping an eye on it as it goes. As soon as the marshmallows start to melt you can stop. You want the marshmallows to maintain their shape but be slightly melted so they stick to the top of the bars.
Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate chips have firmed up. This makes it easier to slice into the bars with a sharp knife.
