Gooey chocolate and marshmallow bars on a buttery graham crust

# Required Ingredients:

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

07 - Top with mini marshmallows, pressing them gently into the chocolate layer.
08 - Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until marshmallows are golden and toasted.
09 - Cool bars completely in the pan. For clean cuts, chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour before slicing.
10 - Lift out using parchment paper, slice into bars, and serve.
