Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in maple syrup and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the batter.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and quickly scatter mini marshmallows on top. Return to oven for 2 to 3 minutes, just until marshmallows puff up and start to brown.
Let cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars. Enjoy with a glass of cold milk or warm tea.
Notes
Use real maple syrup, not artificial pancake syrup, for best flavor.
Cool completely before cutting for clean slices.
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
