Ingredients
– 10 full-size graham crackers These form the base, providing a crisp, slightly sweet foundation that soaks up the caramel without getting too soggy.
– 1 cup salted butter This adds rich flavor and helps the caramel mixture thicken, making the treat extra gooey and delicious.
– 1 cup light brown sugar, packed It creates the caramel layer, giving a deep, toasty sweetness that balances the other ingredients perfectly.
– 3 chocolate bars, broken into pieces These melt into a creamy topping, adding that classic chocolatey goodness we all love in sβmores.
– 1 cup mini marshmallows They toast up golden and fluffy, bringing the fun campfire vibe to every bite.
Instructions
1-First Step: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). This step ensures the oven is hot enough to bake the layers evenly and create that caramel magic.
2-Second Step: Line a 9Γ13 inch pan with parchment paper and arrange the 10 full-size graham crackers in a single layer. Break them as needed to cover the pan completely, creating a solid base for the toppings.
3-Third Step: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1 cup salted butter and 1 cup packed light brown sugar. Stir constantly until the butter melts, which usually takes about 2 minutes, to form a smooth mixture.
4-Fourth Step: Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously, until it thickens into a caramel. This creates the sticky layer that holds everything together, so keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
5-Fifth Step: Pour the hot caramel mixture evenly over the graham crackers in the pan. Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, letting the caramel set and bubble just right.
6-Sixth Step: Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the broken pieces from 3 chocolate bars evenly over the caramel. Follow that with 1 cup of mini marshmallows spread out on top for that classic sβmores feel.
7-Seventh Step: Switch your oven to broil and put the pan back in for 1-2 minutes. Watch it very closely until the marshmallows turn golden brown, as this happens fast and you donβt want them to burn!
8-Final Step: Take the pan out and let it cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then move it to the refrigerator for another 10 minutes to set. Once firm, cut into pieces and serve for a crowd-pleasing dessert. The total time is just 16 minutes, making it ideal for last-minute gatherings.
