Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Add the butter to a saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often, for about 5–8 minutes, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Pour into a bowl and let it cool for about 10–15 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and egg to the cooled brown butter and mix until well combined. If using vanilla extract, mix it in here.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and vanilla powder, if using.

5. 5

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until a dough forms.

6. 6

   Fold in the chocolate chips and a handful of mini marshmallows.

7. 7

   Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

8. 8

   Arrange the graham crackers in a single layer across the bottom of the prepared pan.

9. 9

   Spread most of the cookie dough evenly over the graham crackers.

10. 10

    Add mini marshmallows and extra chocolate chips on top, then scatter small pieces of the remaining cookie dough over everything.

11. 11

    Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the cookie dough is set and the marshmallows are lightly toasted.

12. 12

    Remove from the oven and immediately add the Hershey’s chocolate pieces while the bars are still warm.

13. 13

    Let the bars cool before slicing and serving.
