Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 16 oz gluten-free graham crackers (reserve 3–4 whole crackers for topping)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (or dairy-free butter alternative)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Filling & Topping

  • 16 oz mini marshmallows (use vegan if needed)
  • 10 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (use vegan if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bars later.
  2. Reserve Graham Crackers: Set aside 3 to 4 whole gluten-free graham crackers to use as a crunchy topping at the end.
  3. Process Graham Crackters: Place the remaining gluten-free graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until you achieve fine crumbs, approximately three cups in volume.
  4. Make Crust Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and forms a crumbly base.
  5. Form and Bake Crust: Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared 9×13-inch pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and becomes fragrant.
  6. Add Filling Layers: Reserve one cup each of mini marshmallows and chocolate chips. Distribute the remaining chocolate chips evenly over the baked crust, followed by spreading the remaining mini marshmallows evenly on top.
  7. Bake Marshmallows: Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes until the marshmallows are lightly browned and puffed. Remove and let cool for a few minutes.
  8. Add Reserved Toppings: Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips and mini marshmallows over the warm bars to add extra gooeyness and texture.
  9. Top with Graham Crackers: Break up the reserved whole gluten-free graham crackers and sprinkle the pieces over the bars for added crunch.
  10. Toast Marshmallows: Using a kitchen torch, lightly toast the marshmallows on top until golden and caramelized. If you do not have a torch, place the bars under the oven broiler for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  11. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely to set before slicing into 16 squares and serving.

Notes

  • You can use vegan marshmallows and chocolate chips to make this recipe entirely vegan.
  • If a kitchen torch is not available, use your oven broiler cautiously to toast marshmallows.
  • Ensure the gluten-free graham crackers are finely ground for a good crust texture.
  • Allow bars to cool completely for clean slices and to avoid gooey mess.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
