Ingredients
Scale
- 10 graham crackers (full-size)
- 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups (100 g) mini marshmallows
- 1 cup (226 g / 2 sticks) salted butter
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper, extending over sides. Arrange graham crackers in a single, seamless layer, breaking pieces to fit perfectly.
- Toffee Creation: In a medium saucepan, combine butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Continuously stir until the mixture reaches a vigorous boil, preventing any scorching.
- Caramelization: Cook the toffee for 3-4 minutes, watching for a rich, golden transformation. The mixture should thicken and develop a deep caramel complexity.
- Base Coating: Pour molten toffee evenly over graham crackers, using a spatula to ensure complete, uniform coverage. Transfer the baking sheet to a preheated 350F (175C) oven.
- Chocolate and Marshmallow Layer: Bake until toffee becomes bubbly, about 5-7 minutes. Immediately distribute chocolate chips, allowing them to melt naturally. Spread into a smooth layer, then generously scatter mini marshmallows across the surface.
- Toasting Finale: Switch oven to broil. Return pan and monitor marshmallows closely as they transform to a golden brown, typically 1-2 minutes. Prevent burning by watching attentively.
- Cooling and Serving: Remove from oven once marshmallows reach perfect caramelization. Allow dessert to cool completely within the pan. Break into irregular, rustic pieces, creating an appetizing presentation ready for indulgence.
Notes
- Prevent Sugar Burning: Stir constantly when making toffee to avoid scorching, ensuring smooth, even caramelization without bitter notes.
- Control Marshmallow Toasting: Watch broiler extremely closely during marshmallow stage – seconds can transform golden perfection into burnt disaster. Keep oven door slightly open for better visual monitoring.
- Create Uniform Base Layer: Break graham crackers strategically to create seamless, tight base without gaps, guaranteeing even toffee coverage and consistent texture throughout dessert.
- Temperature Precision Matters: Use medium heat for toffee to achieve ideal caramel consistency without burning, and maintain exact broiler temperature for perfect marshmallow golden-brown finish.
