Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Christmas Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch pan by greasing it with non-stick spray or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, unsweetened cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Whisk to blend thoroughly.
  3. Add the melted unsalted butter and sweetened condensed milk to the dry mixture. Stir vigorously until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips, taking care not to crush the marshmallows.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake for 25–30 minutes.
  6. Let it cool completely on a wire rack, then cut into squares.
