Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons White Sugar
  • 5 Tablespoons Butter, melted
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 & 1/2 Cups Graham Crackers, crushed

Toppings

  • 2 Dark Chocolate Bars
  • 1/2 Cup Nutella
  • 6 Ounces Fresh Raspberries, halved
  • 13 Ounces Marshmallow Creme

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 11×7-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of bars.
  2. Mix Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons white sugar, and 5 tablespoons melted butter until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Add Vanilla Extract: Blend in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to the sugar and butter mixture to enhance the flavor.
  4. Incorporate Graham Crackers: Stir in 1 and 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers thoroughly, forming a crumbly dough for the base.
  5. Create the Base Layer: Pour the graham cracker mixture into your prepared baking dish and firmly pat it down to form an even crust layer.
  6. Add Chocolate Bars: Place two dark chocolate bars evenly on top of the graham cracker base, covering the surface.
  7. Bake the Base: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to melt the chocolate and set the base slightly.
  8. Swirl Nutella: Remove from oven and use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly. Drizzle 1/2 cup Nutella over the top and use a toothpick to swirl it into the melted chocolate for a marbled effect.
  9. Add Raspberries: Evenly distribute the halved fresh raspberries over the Nutella and chocolate layer to add freshness and a tart counterpoint.
  10. Set the Chocolate: Place the baking dish in the freezer for about 20 minutes until the chocolate and Nutella layer is firm and set.
  11. Top with Marshmallow Creme: Spread the 13 ounces of marshmallow creme evenly over the set chocolate and raspberry layer.
  12. Broil for Finish: Broil the bars in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely to achieve a golden, toasted marshmallow topping without burning.
  13. Cool and Serve: Let the bars cool completely at room temperature before slicing and serving to enjoy the perfect gooey and crunchy texture.

Notes

  • Ensure to watch the marshmallow creme closely while broiling to prevent burning as it can caramelize quickly.
  • If you prefer a firmer base, consider pressing the graham cracker crust more firmly before baking.
  • These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute Nutella with a chocolate spread without nuts or additional melted chocolate.
