Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 10 full-size graham crackers
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Binding Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 226 grams) salted butter
Sweetening Ingredient:
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare a 9×13-inch baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, extending over the sides for easy removal. Create a single layer of graham crackers across the entire surface, breaking them to fit seamlessly.
- Combine butter and brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture reaches a vigorous boil, maintaining constant movement to prevent burning.
- Cook the toffee mixture for 3-4 minutes, watching for a rich caramel transformation. The consistency should thicken and develop a deep golden hue.
- Pour the molten toffee evenly over the graham cracker base, using a spatula to ensure complete coverage. Transfer the baking sheet to a preheated 350F (175C) oven.
- Bake until the toffee layer becomes bubbly and slightly caramelized, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately distribute chocolate chips across the surface.
- Allow chocolate chips to melt naturally for 1-2 minutes, then gently spread into a smooth, uniform layer using a spatula.
- Generously scatter mini marshmallows over the melted chocolate, creating an even distribution.
- Switch oven to broil and return the pan. Monitor closely as marshmallows toast to a golden brown, which typically takes 1-2 minutes. Prevent burning by watching attentively.
- Once marshmallows reach the perfect caramelized color, remove from the oven. Let the dessert cool completely within the pan to ensure proper setting.
- After cooling, break the confection into irregular pieces, creating a rustic, appetizing presentation ready for serving.
Notes
- Ensure graham crackers form a tight, seamless base to prevent toffee from seeping underneath during baking.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan for even heat distribution when creating the toffee layer, preventing burning or uneven caramelization.
- For a gluten-free version, swap graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives like rice crackers or almond flour-based cookies.
- Control marshmallow toasting by keeping oven door slightly open and rotating baking sheet to achieve uniform golden-brown color without burning.
