Time 1h15m

Yield about 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 12

Cooking spray
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
8 ounces cream cheese
3 tablespoons salted butter
1 cup toasted, chopped pecans
1 cup toasted, chopped walnuts
8 full graham crackers (1 sleeve), broken into chunks
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
One 16-ounce jar marshmallow creme, such as Marshmallow Fluff

Steps:

  • For the bars: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment so that the edges fold over the sides of the pan. Spray with cooking spray.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese and butter to a medium pot and place over low heat. Cook, whisking occasionally so the bottom does not brown, until melted and well combined, a few minutes.
  • Put the pecans, walnuts, graham crackers and marshmallows in a bowl; set aside.
  • When the cream cheese mixture has melted, whisk until well combined, and then remove from the heat. Fold in the chocolate chips and mix until all the chocolate is melted and the mixture is well combined.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the graham cracker mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and place in the fridge for 1 to 1 1/2 hours to set.
  • For the quick marshmallow frosting: In the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and butter until creamy, a couple of minutes. Beat in the marshmallow creme.
  • Remove the set mixture from the pan. Cut into squares and frost with or dip in the marshmallow frosting. Keep refrigerated.

Time 25m

Yield 36 to 48 bars

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 to 1 cup coarsely chopped toasted walnuts, pecans, or peanuts
1 teaspoon baking powder
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 egg, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup toated walnuts, pecans, or peanuts, coarsely chopped
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
2 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup whole milk
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan.
  • To make the first layer: Place the butter and chocolate in a small pan and cook over the lowest possible heat until almost all the chocolate has melted. Off heat, add the sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, nuts, and baking powder and mix well. Press into the prepared pan and set aside.
  • To make the second layer: Place the cream cheese, sugar, flour, butter, egg, and vanilla in the bowl of a mixer fitter with a paddle and mix until smooth and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the nuts, mix to combine, and spread over the first layer. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips and transfer to the oven. Bake until slightly golden on the edges, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the second layer with the marshmallows and return the pan to the oven until the marshmallows are just melted but not colored, about 3 minutes.
  • To make the frosting: Place the butter and chocolate in a small pan and cook over the lowest possible heat until almost all the chocolate has melted. Add the cream cheese and milk and mix until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and mix until smooth. Immediately pour the frosting over the marshmallows and briefly swirl the two mixtures together. Cool in the pan and cut into 36 to 48 bars. Cover and refrigerate.
