Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs Substitute with crushed gluten-free graham crackers or almond flour for a gluten-free option.
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Opt for high-quality cocoa for the best results.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Crucial for that melt-in-your-mouth experience.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (melted) Replace with melted coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
For the Mix
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk Consider a homemade vegan version if desired.
  • 2 cups Mini Marshmallows Mini ones distribute more easily.
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Mix with dark, milk, or white chocolate varieties.
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Nuts (optional) Omit for nut allergies or add extra chocolate chips.

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Christmas Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, unsweetened cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Whisk until uniform.
  3. Add melted unsalted butter and sweetened condensed milk to the dry ingredients. Stir until it becomes thick and homogenous.
  4. Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly across the bottom.
  6. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges are set and the center is slightly firm.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan. Cut into squares for serving.
