Instructions
- Step 1: Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Preheat your oven broiler on high.
- Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 oz semisweet chocolate chips and 1 tbsp unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy, about 1-2 minutes total.
- Step 3: Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it into a roughly 1/4-inch thick layer using an offset spatula.
- Step 4: Evenly scatter 1 cup of mini marshmallows and 1 cup of roughly broken graham cracker pieces over the melted chocolate.
- Step 5: Place the baking sheet on the middle oven rack under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully, until the marshmallows start to toast golden brown and puff up. Remove immediately to avoid burning.
- Step 6: Sprinkle 1/4 tsp sea salt flakes over the top while still warm, then allow the bark to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes until fully set and firm.
- Step 7: Break into irregular pieces and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
