Ingredients

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup powdered sugar

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup mini marshmallows

1 cup milk chocolate chips

½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch of salt

Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Begin by lining an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Ensure the paper overhangs on the sides; this will facilitate easy removal of the fudge once set.

Make the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Stir thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are evenly moistened, resulting in a thick, crumbly mixture.

Press the Base Into the Pan: Transfer the crumb mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using the back of a spatula or your fingers, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan to create a solid base. Set aside while preparing the fudge layer.

Prepare the Fudge Layer: In a saucepan set over low heat or using a microwave, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips along with the vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the mixture is completely smooth. Once melted, remove from the heat and incorporate a pinch of salt for enhanced flavor.

Layer with Marshmallows: Pour half of the melted fudge over the prepared graham cracker base. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Evenly sprinkle mini marshmallows over the fudge layer, and if desired, add the chopped walnuts or pecans for a delightful crunch.

Finish the Fudge: Pour the remaining semi-sweet chocolate fudge over the marshmallows, ensuring to cover them entirely. For an extra touch, top with additional mini marshmallows and sprinkle some nuts if you’re using them.

Add the Milk Chocolate Drizzle: Melt the milk chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals or on the stovetop until silky smooth. Drizzle this luscious chocolate over the top of your fudge bars for a beautiful presentation.

Chill to Set: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the fudge to chill for at least 2 to 4 hours, or until it has completely set and firmed up.

Cut and Serve: Once the fudge has set, use the parchment overhang to lift it out of the baking dish. Carefully cut the fudge into squares or bars of your desired size. Enjoy them chilled or at room temperature for the best experience.
