Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix (just the dry mix)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup marshmallow crème (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the dry cake mix, egg, melted butter, and graham cracker crumbs until a thick dough forms.
- Press two-thirds of the dough into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.
- Spread marshmallow crème over the crust using a greased spoon or offset spatula.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the crème, then scatter mini marshmallows on top.
- Crumble the remaining dough over the top and press gently to secure.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the top is golden and marshmallows are toasted.
- Cool completely before slicing into bars.
Notes
- Use lightly greased utensils to spread marshmallow crème more easily.
- Swap milk chocolate for dark chocolate or add peanut butter chips for a twist.
- Bars firm up more as they cool, making them easier to slice.
- Store at room temperature or refrigerate to extend freshness.
