• ¼ teaspoon baking soda – Helps create a soft, tender texture.
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (142g), divided – Adds authentic s’mores flavor.
• ½ cup salted butter (113g), room temperature – Creates richness and moisture.
• ¼ cup brown sugar (53g) – Adds caramel-like depth.
• ½ cup granulated sugar (100g) – Sweetens and balances texture.
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt – Enhances overall flavor.
• 1 large egg (50g), room temperature – Binds the dough together.
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (4g) – Adds warm flavor.

For the Toppings

• 1¼ cup milk chocolate chips (213g), divided – Melts into a smooth “pizza sauce.”
• 2½ cups mini marshmallows (108g) – Toast into golden, gooey perfection.
• Chocolate sauce (optional) – For drizzling on top.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat and Prepare the Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 13-inch deep-dish pizza pan with nonstick spray and set aside.

Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and ¾ cup of the graham cracker crumbs. Set aside.

Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt until light and fluffy.

Add Egg and Vanilla
Slowly mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and creamy.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully combined into a soft dough.

Press and Dock the Dough
Using your hands, press the dough firmly and evenly into the prepared pizza pan. Use a fork to pierce the dough about 20–25 times to prevent bubbling.

Bake the Crust
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the crust begins to brown and is baked through.

Add the Chocolate Layer
Immediately sprinkle 1 cup of chocolate chips over the hot crust, leaving a small rim around the edge to resemble a pizza crust. Let sit 3–4 minutes until melted, then spread evenly with a spoon like pizza sauce.

Top with Graham and Marshmallows
Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs over the chocolate layer. Add the mini marshmallows and remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips evenly across the top.

Broil to Toast
Place under a high broiler for 1–3 minutes, or until marshmallows are golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Finish and Serve
Remove from the oven and drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired. Slice into 8 pieces and serve warm.

Recipe Notes & Tips

• Watch the Broiler Carefully – Marshmallows brown quickly.
• Leave a Chocolate-Free Rim – Creates a true pizza-style crust look.
• Use Room Temperature Ingredients – Ensures smooth mixing.
• Add Candy Bars – Chopped chocolate bars make it extra indulgent.
• Don’t Overbake the Crust – It will continue to firm as it cools.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Why This Recipe Works

The graham cracker cookie base provides structure while delivering classic s’mores flavor. Sprinkling chocolate chips onto the hot crust allows them to melt naturally, forming a smooth layer without additional heating. Broiling the marshmallows recreates that campfire-style toastiness through rapid surface browning, while the layered textures of crunchy crust, melted chocolate, and fluffy marshmallows create a balanced and indulgent dessert.
