Biscoff Marshmallow Chocolate Bars in Steps
Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Pan
Start by lining a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. This will help you lift the bars out once they are set.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and melt them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
Step 3: Mix in Biscoff Spread
Once melted, stir in the ½ cup of Biscoff Spread into the chocolate until fully combined. This mixture should be creamy and luscious.
Step 4: Add the Marshmallows
Fold in the 3 cups of mini-marshmallows gently into the chocolate-Biscoff mixture. Make sure the marshmallows are well coated.
Step 5: Incorporate the Cookies
Next, crumble the 1 cup of Biscoff cookies and fold them into the mixture. If using graham crackers, chop them into small pieces and add them in as well. This will add a delightful crunch to your bars.
Step 6: Transfer to Baking Pan
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Press it down gently to ensure it holds together.
Step 7: Sprinkle with Extra Chocolate
Sprinkle the ½ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (or your choice of chips) evenly over the top. This adds an extra layer of chocolatey goodness.
Step 8: Chill and Set
Place the baking pan in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or until the bars are set and firm. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture.
Step 9: Cut and Serve
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut them into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Biscoff Marshmallow Chocolate Bars with friends and family!

Ask the Chef
Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini-marshmallows?
Yes, you can use regular marshmallows, but you will need to cut them into smaller pieces to ensure they mix well with the chocolate and Biscoff spread.
How can I make these bars more chocolatey?
To increase the chocolate flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips for melting and adding additional chocolate chips on top when sprinkling.
Can I add other flavors to this recipe?
Absolutely! You can add flavors by incorporating extracts like vanilla or almond, or even by mixing in some crushed peppermint candies during the holidays.
What should I do if the bars are too sticky?
If the mixture is too sticky, it might be due to not enough chocolate or Biscoff spread. You can add a little more melted chocolate to help bind it together without compromising the flavor.
