Description

These rich Chocolate Christmas Bars are a dream for cocoa lovers! A chewy, fudgy mixture of graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and sweetened condensed milk, loaded with fluffy mini marshmallows and melted chocolate chips. The perfect easy holiday dessert that captures the warmth of the season in every bite

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups (200g) graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1½ cups (180g) powdered sugar
¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted
1 can (14 oz / 397g) sweetened condensed milk
3 cups (150g) mini marshmallows
1½ cups (270g) chocolate chips
½ cup (60g) chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar until well combined and lump-free.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted butter and sweetened condensed milk. Stir well. The mixture will be thick and sticky.
  4. Fold in Extras: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
  5. Spread: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly (it might take a little effort due to the thickness).
  6. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly firm but still soft.
  7. Cool & Cut: Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares to ensure they hold their shape.

Notes

  • Texture: These bars are meant to be gooey and chewy. Do not overbake, or they might become too hard.

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • Slicing Tip: Use a sharp knife and clean it between cuts for neat squares.
