3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

# Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F to ensure uniform baking of the bars.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together graham cracker crumbs, unsweetened cocoa powder, and powdered sugar until evenly blended.

Pour in the melted butter and sweetened condensed milk. Stir with a spatula until the mixture is fully incorporated and forms a thick, cohesive batter.
04 -
Gently fold in mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts if using, ensuring an even distribution throughout the mixture without overmixing.

Transfer the batter to a greased baking pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly firm.
06 -
Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into bite-sized squares using a sharp knife and serve.

For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with melted coconut oil. Bars keep best if stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
