prep time: 15MINUTES MINS

cook time: 32MINUTES MINS

total time: 47MINUTES MINS

INGREDIE

• 1 cup (227 g) salted butter room temperature 
• 1 ½ cups (318 g) packed light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups (284 g) all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 7-ounce jar marshmallow creme or fluff
• 2 cups (340 g) milk or semisweet chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS 

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9X13-inch pan with foil or parchment (for easy removal of the bars after they've baked and cooled). Lightly grease the foil with cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. 
• Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well combined.
• Add the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt and mix until combined.
• Press half the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Dollop the marshmallow topping on top of the cookie base and gently spread into an even layer with a lightly greased spatula. 
• Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Scatter the remaining dough in pieces over the top.
• Bake until golden brown at the edges but still soft in the middle, 30-32 minutes. Cool completely. Remove the bars from the pan using the foil or parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
