Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 20 full graham crackers (308 grams)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (170 grams)

For the Fudge Filling:

• 1 ⅓ cups semisweet chocolate chips (226 grams)
• 3/4 cup + 1 ½ tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (265 grams)

For the Marshmallow Topping:

• 2 large egg whites
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar (75 grams)
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup (168 grams)
• 1/4 cup water (60 grams)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with foil for easy removal later. 🔥

2. Prepare the Crust

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the graham crackers, sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture is finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse again until the mixture is moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then place the pan on a heat pad in the fridge to cool while you prepare the filling. 🍪

3. Make the Fudge Filling

In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the mixture is melted, thick, and smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture over the cooled graham cracker crust. Place the pan back in the refrigerator while you make the marshmallow topping. 🍫

4. Prepare the Marshmallow Topping

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form, about 7 minutes. 🥚

5. Cook the Syrup

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue cooking until a candy thermometer registers exactly 240°F, about 8 minutes. Immediately remove from heat. 🍬

6. Combine Syrup and Egg Whites

With the mixer on low speed, slowly and continuously add the hot syrup, pouring it between the side of the bowl and the whisk. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the mixture becomes very thick and looks like marshmallow fluff, about 6-7 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined. 🍥

7. Assemble the Bars

Spread the marshmallow topping evenly over the chocolate fudge layer. Use a kitchen torch to gently toast the marshmallow layer until lightly golden. Alternatively, place the pan under the broiler for about 30 seconds, or until lightly golden, checking on it every few seconds to prevent burning. 🔥

8. Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy! The bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. ❄️
