Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham crackers, broken into small pieces
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup caramel bits or soft caramel squares, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm while you prepare the ingredients.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the graham cracker pieces, mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and caramel bits, ensuring even distribution without crushing the crackers.
- Form Clusters: Using a spoon or your hands, form small clusters of the mixture, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced slightly apart to allow for melting.
- Bake the Clusters: Bake the clusters in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the marshmallows and caramel are melted and the chocolate chips start to soften but not fully lose their shape.
- Cool and Set: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the clusters to cool for at least 15 minutes on the tray. This will let them harden slightly, holding their cluster shape.
- Serve and Store: Once cooled, carefully transfer the clusters to a serving plate. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For easier handling, line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with chunks of your favorite chocolate bar for varied texture.
- Ensure clusters are evenly sized for consistent baking and melting.
- Let the clusters cool completely before removing to prevent breakage.
- Optional: Add a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a salted caramel variation.
