Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, unsweetened cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Pour the melted unsalted butter into the dry mixture and mix until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of the baking dish.
  4. Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust, ensuring it seeps into every corner.
  5. Scatter mini marshmallows and chocolate chips evenly over the sweetened condensed milk layer and lightly press them into place.
  6. Bake for 22-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and the marshmallows are toasted.
  7. Let the bars cool completely in the dish, then lift out using the parchment and slice into squares.
