Ingredients

Scale
  • 400g semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chopped almonds or walnuts
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt chocolate and butter using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
  4. Let chocolate cool slightly for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Fold in marshmallows, chopped nuts, and crushed biscuits until evenly coated.
  6. Transfer mixture to prepared pan and press gently to level.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.
  8. Lift from pan and cut into squares using a sharp knife.

Notes

  • Allow chocolate to cool slightly before adding marshmallows to prevent melting.
  • Toast nuts for enhanced flavor.
  • For cleaner slices, warm the knife under hot water and wipe dry before cutting.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze up to 2 months for longer storage.
