# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat. Cover an 8×8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Toss the graham crackers, sugar, and salt into a food processor and grind up finely. Drizzle in melted butter while pulsing until it’s all damp. Squash this mix into the pan. Pop it into the oven for 10 minutes. Chill in the fridge while you tackle the filling.
02 -
In a small saucepan with a thick bottom, warm the chocolate chips and condensed milk over low-medium heat. Keep stirring until it’s all melted, smooth, and thick. Pour this creamy mix onto the chilled crust. Let it cool in the fridge while you get started on the marshmallow layer.
03 -
Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium until you see soft peaks (around 7 minutes). Meanwhile, heat up the sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt in a small pan on medium-high until it starts boiling. Cook it until a candy thermometer hits 240°F (115°C), which takes about 8 minutes. Pour this hot syrup slowly into the whipped egg whites as the mixer runs on low. Then, crank up the speed and beat until it’s really fluffy, about 6-7 minutes. Mix in the vanilla at the end.
04 -
Spread the fluffy marshmallow layer over the fudgy chocolate. Turn on a kitchen torch and gently toast the marshmallow until golden, or broil it for 30 seconds while watching super closely. Chill the pan in the fridge for at least an hour, then cut it into squares to share.
