Ingredients
The following ingredients have 6 Servings
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
- 2 cups bittersweet chocolate (chopped)
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instruction
- For the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
- Line an 8x8 inch pan with foil. Grease the foil lining with butter or cooking spray.
- Combine all of the crust ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Press the crust into the bottom of the pan in an even layer.
- Bake for 10 minutes and then set aside.
- For the Peanut Butter Layer: Sprinkle the peanut butter chips evenly over the still-warm crust.
- Return the pan to the oven, which should be off. We will use the residual heat to melt the chips.
- Allow the pan to sit in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes. When the peanut butter chips are nice and shiny, remove the pan from the oven.
- Using an offset spatula, spread the melted chips over the graham cracker crust.
- Set aside to set.
- For the Chocolate Filling: In a heavy-bottomed sauce pan, place the chopped chocolate and the sweetened condensed milk.
- Melt the chocolate in the milk over medium heat.
- Once completely melted and combined, immediately pour into prepared crust.
- Set aside while making the marshmallow topping.
- For the Marshmallow Topping: Combine the sugar, corn syrup, water and salt in a small, heavy-bottomed sauce pan.
- Place over medium heat. Boil until a candy thermometer reaches 240 degrees F.
- While the sugar mixture comes to temperature, beat the two egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until soft peaks form.
- When the sugar mixture comes to temperature, turn the mixer to low. Pouring down the side of the mixer bowl, in a slow steady stream pour the sugar mixture into the egg white mixture.
- When all of the sugar mixture is poured into the egg mixture, turn the mixer to medium high. Beat for 7-8 minutes until the mixture is thick and glossy.
- With about a minute left, add the vanilla.
- Spread 2 cups of the marshmallow fluff over the chocolate filling.
- Turn the oven to broil, and broil the top of the marshmallow until golden brown.
- Cut into squares when ready to serve.
