- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour to help bind the crust
- 1/4 teaspoon salt to enhance sweetness

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, blend granulated sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until creamy.
- Add the graham cracker mixture to the butter mixture and fold until combined. Reserve 1 cup of this mixture for topping.
- Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
Assembling
- Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the crust.
- Dollop marshmallow cream over the chocolate chips, using a spatula dipped in hot water to spread evenly.
- Scatter mini marshmallows on top and finish with the reserved crumb topping.
Baking
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the marshmallows are lightly golden.
- Allow to cool slightly in the pan before lifting out using the parchment paper. Let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.
Notes
Use room temperature butter for easier mixing. Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh. These bars can also be frozen for up to two months.
