Ingredients

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup peanut butter chips
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 cup crushed graham crackers
• 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare your workspace:
   Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper for easy cleanup and stack preparation.
2. Melt the chocolate:
   In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring between intervals until smooth and fully melted.
3. Melt the peanut butter chips:
   In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the peanut butter chips using the same 30-second interval method. Once melted, stir in the creamy peanut butter until fully combined and smooth.
4. Mix the dry ingredients:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini marshmallows, crushed graham crackers, and chopped peanuts (if using).
5. Assemble the stacks:
   Pour the melted peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and gently fold until everything is evenly coated.
6. Layer with chocolate:
   Using a spoon, drop small mounds of the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle or spoon the melted chocolate over each mound, ensuring the tops are completely covered.
7. Chill and set:
   Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until the stacks are firm and set.
8. Serve and enjoy:
   Once set, remove from the refrigerator and serve immediately or store as directed below.

FAQs

1. Can I use dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate chips?

Yes, dark chocolate is a great substitute and adds a richer flavor. Adjust the sweetness by using slightly sweeter peanut butter if needed.

2. Are there gluten-free options for this recipe?

Absolutely! Use gluten-free graham crackers to make this recipe gluten-friendly.

3. Can I add other mix-ins?

Definitely! Dried fruit, shredded coconut, or crushed pretzels make excellent additions to customize your stacks.

4. How long do they take to set without refrigeration?

If left at room temperature, the stacks may take 4-6 hours to firm up, depending on the ambient temperature. Refrigeration is recommended for faster results.
