For the Cookie Crust:
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (King Arthur recommended)
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 7 sheets, finely crushed)
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
For the Toppings:
- 1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips, divided (preferably Ghirardelli)
- Chocolate sauce for drizzling (optional)
- 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 2 sheets, coarsely crushed)
- Prepare the Mise en Place and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 13-inch pizza pan with cooking spray, coating the bottom and sides thoroughly. Measure and prepare all ingredients, especially marshmallows and chocolate chips, to add quickly once the crust is ready to ensure proper melting and texture. Crush graham cracker sheets fresh to keep them crisp.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients for the Crust: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp baking soda, and 3/4 cup finely crushed graham cracker crumbs until evenly combined. Set this dry mixture aside for the wet ingredients.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened salted butter, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt together on medium speed until fluffy and light, about 2-3 minutes. Then beat in 1 large room-temperature egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Form and Pre-bake the Crust: Add the dry mixture to the creamed butter mixture and stir until a cohesive dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pizza pan, covering bottom and edges. Use a fork to pierce the dough 20-25 times to prevent puffing. Bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes until edges are light golden and center remains pale.
- Layer the Chocolate and Marshmallows: Remove the crust from the oven. Immediately sprinkle 1 cup of milk chocolate chips evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges. Let sit 3-4 minutes to soften the chocolate, then spread evenly with an offset spatula or spoon. Sprinkle 1/2 cup coarsely crushed graham cracker crumbs over the chocolate, then evenly distribute 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows on top. Finish by sprinkling the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips over the marshmallows.
- Broil Until Marshmallows are Golden: Switch the oven to high broil and place the pizza on the upper rack. Broil for 1-3 minutes, watching carefully to achieve golden brown, puffy marshmallows with slight char spots. Remove immediately once perfect to prevent burning.
- Finish and Serve: Let the pizza cool on the pan for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to set slightly while keeping marshmallows warm and gooey. Drizzle with optional chocolate sauce for extra indulgence. Slice into wedges and serve warm for the best melty, soft texture experience.
Notes
- Room temperature butter and egg help achieve a tender, well-creamed cookie crust.
- Crush graham crackers fresh before using to keep crisp texture.
- Watch marshmallows closely while broiling; times can vary between ovens and marshmallows brown quickly.
- Use high-quality milk chocolate chips for the best flavor and melting experience.
- Chocolate sauce drizzle is optional but adds an extra layer of richness.
- This dessert is best served warm to enjoy the gooey marshmallows and melty chocolate.
