Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base Mixture
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips about 12 oz
  • 1 cup white vanilla chips optional
  • 1 cup marshmallow cream
Add-ins
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup M&M’s candies regular or minis
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts or pretzels optional
  • Butter or non-stick spray for lining the pan

Equipment

  • 8×8 inch baking pan
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spatula
  • Parchment paper or non-stick spray

Method
 

  1. Line an 8×8‑inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly butter it for easy removal.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in 30‑second bursts, stirring in between until smooth. Melt vanilla chips separately if using for swirl effect.
  3. Stir marshmallow cream into the melted chocolate until just combined.
  4. Fold in mini marshmallows, M&M’s candies, and optional chopped nuts or pretzels until evenly mixed.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Optional: press a few extra M&M’s on top.
  6. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour or until set. Lift out using parchment and cut into bars.

Notes

For extra flair, swirl white chips or sprinkle with sea salt before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
