hand mixer To make pudding and whipped cream.

Ingredients

2 cups (235 grams) graham cracker crumbs plus extra for garnish
2 tbsps (28 g) unsalted butter melted
1 (3.9ounce/110 g) box instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups (500 ml) whole milk cold
1/3 cup (60 g) mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup (60 g) marshmallow creme
1 tsp vanilla extract
16 large marshmallows
1 chocolate bar bar broken into pieces

2 cups (235 grams) graham cracker crumbs, 2 tbsps (28 g) unsalted butter
In a medium bowl, add the pudding mix and slowly pour in the cold milk. Use a hand-held mixer (or whisk) to beat until thickened, about 3 minutes. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and set aside.
1 (3.9ounce/110 g) box instant chocolate pudding mix, 2 cups (500 ml) whole milk, 1/3 cup (60 g) mini chocolate chips
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the marshmallow creme and vanilla extract and mix just until combined.
1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup (60 g) marshmallow creme, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Set out eight 8-ounce (240 ml) jars or glasses. Add a spoonful of graham cracker mixture to each and gently press it down.
Add a spoonful of pudding, followed by a layer of marshmallow cream.
Add the remaining graham cracker crumbs and another spoonful of pudding on top.
Garnish each with two toasted marshmallows, a piece of chocolate, and a sprinkle of graham crumbs. Serve immediately.
16 large marshmallows, 1 chocolate bar

Notes

Make sure the milk is very cold so the pudding sets properly.
Don’t overmix the marshmallow layer—stop once it’s just combined.
Toast the marshmallows right before serving for the best texture.
For make-ahead: assemble the jars (without garnish) and chill for up to a few hours.
Once garnished, they’re best eaten right away.
