Description

A quick, nostalgic no-bake treat that combines sweet, salty, and chewy flavors, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups (about 400 g) creamy peanut butter
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 oz (115 g) semi-sweet chocolate (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment, leaving an overhang on two sides.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
  3. Add mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and the mixture is glossy.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the graham cracker crumbs until evenly combined.
  5. Press the mixture into the prepared pan with a spatula or measuring cup and chill for at least 1 hour.
  6. Lift out and cut into squares. If desired, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and drizzle or spread on top once slightly cooled.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs or puffed rice cereal. For a dairy-free version, replace butter with coconut oil.
