Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Set aside 3 to 4 of the 16 oz gluten-free graham crackers and 1 cup each of the 10 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips and 16 oz mini marshmallows for the topping. Break the graham crackers into small pieces.
Add the remaining graham crackers to a food processor and process until you have fine crumbs, about 3 cups.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup unsalted butter, ⅓ cup brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir until combined.
Press the mixture into an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes until the crust is golden and fragrant.
Distribute the remaining semi-sweet chocolate chips over the hot crust in an even layer. Top with the the remaining mini marshmallows.
Bake for another 10 minutes until the marshmallows are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Scatter the reserved 1 cup chocolate chips, 1 cup mini marshmallows, and broken graham cracker pieces over the top.
Using a kitchen torch, toast the marshmallows until golden brown. Alternatively, place under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely so they don't burn.
Let cool completely before lifting out of the pan and slicing into squares.

Notes

If you have celiac disease or are on a gluten-free diet, be sure to double check all ingredients to make sure they are gluten-free.
I used Kinnikinnick gluten-free graham crackers, which are found at many local grocery stores in the US. You can use your favorite gluten-free graham crackers or use my gluten-free graham cracker recipe instead.
To make this recipe dairy-free, use Earth Balance buttery spread instead of the butter, use your favorite dairy-free chocolate chip, and ensure your graham crackers are dairy-free.
To make this recipe vegan, follow the dairy-free instructions and also use a vegan marshmallow, like Dandies, as normal marshmallows contain gelatin.
