Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 or 9x13 pan with parchment paper.
Mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and optional sugar. Press it firmly into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the crust.
Scatter mini marshmallows across the top, covering most of the surface.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over all ingredients.

Baking

Bake for 22 to 28 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and the center is set but still a bit soft.
For extra toasted tops, add a handful of marshmallows during the last 3 to 5 minutes of baking.
Cool for at least 45 minutes before slicing for best results.

Notes

Press the crust firmly to avoid crumbling. Use parchment paper for easy lifting. Do not overbake; the center should remain soft. Cut bars with a warm knife for clean slices.
