Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup brown sugar
¾ cup molasses
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cloves
1 tsp baking soda
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided)
2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
Make the Gingerbread Cookie Base: In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, melted butter, molasses, egg, vanilla, and spices. Mix in flour and baking soda.
Press & Pre-Bake: Press mixture evenly into a greased 9×9 baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 12–14 minutes until just set.
Add the Chocolate Magic: Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle 1 cup chocolate chips evenly on top. Let them melt slightly, then spread with a spatula.
Top with Marshmallows & Bake Again: Sprinkle mini marshmallows and remaining chocolate chips over the melted chocolate. Return to oven and bake for 5–7 minutes until marshmallows are golden.
Cool, Slice & Serve: Allow bars to cool completely before slicing into squares. Serve at room temp or warm slightly.
Notes
For a chewier texture, slightly underbake the base.
Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
