Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips (or bars, chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra creaminess)

Toppings

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup graham crackers, crushed or broken into bite-sized pieces
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Work Surface: Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper to ensure your bark doesn’t stick and is easy to remove once set.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Gently melt your choice of chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning. If using, stir in the butter now for extra smoothness.
  3. Spread the Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and use a spatula to spread it evenly, focusing on about a quarter-inch thickness for the perfect bark consistency.
  4. Add Marshmallows and Graham Crackers: Sprinkle mini marshmallows and broken graham crackers evenly across the melted chocolate surface. Press down lightly to slightly embed them, ensuring they stick when the chocolate hardens.
  5. Toast the Marshmallows (Optional): If you want that toasty flavor, briefly use a kitchen torch on the marshmallows or place the bark under a broiler for just a minute or two—watch carefully to avoid burning.
  6. Chill and Set: Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully harden and the flavors to meld beautifully.
  7. Break Into Pieces: Once set, lift the bark off the parchment and break it into irregular, bite-sized pieces. Ready to enjoy right away or store for later!

Notes

  • Even Spreading: Use an offset spatula to create a smooth, uniform layer of chocolate for consistent thickness.
  • Temperature Matters: Avoid overheating chocolate; melting slowly preserves the silky texture and prevents it from seizing.
  • Use Fresh Marshmallows: Fresh mini marshmallows toast better and taste softer than stale ones.
  • Press Lightly: Gently press toppings into the chocolate; too hard can cause sinking and uneven bark.
  • Storage Tip: Keep your bark in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture from softening the crunch.
