Ingredients:

• 10 graham crackers, crushed
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup brown butter (see instructions below)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 10 oz bag of mini marshmallows
• 12 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Brown the butter:
   • In a small saucepan, melt about 1 1/4 cups of butter over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to foam and sizzle. After about 5 minutes, it will turn golden brown. You should have about 1 cup of browned butter left. Set aside to cool slightly.

2. Mix the wet ingredients:
   • Pour the browned butter into a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and lighter in color, about 5 minutes.
3. Prepare the dry ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, combine flour, crushed graham crackers, and baking powder. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring until well combined.
4. Assemble the bars:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch x 8-inch baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
   • Evenly spread about 3/4 of the cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.
   • Evenly distribute mini marshmallows and chocolate chips over cookie base.
   • Take small pieces of the remaining cookie dough and place them on top of the marshmallows and chocolate, leaving some areas exposed for that gooey, melty effect.

5. Cook and serve:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the marshmallows are lightly toasted.
   • Allow bars to cool slightly before cutting into squares.
