03 - Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Blend in vanilla extract until fully combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
05 - Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the butter mixture, stirring just until blended.
06 - Gently fold semisweet chocolate chips into the dough.
07 - Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the parchment-lined pan.
08 - Place graham cracker sheets over the dough, breaking as needed to form a single even layer.
09 - Evenly distribute mini marshmallows and broken milk chocolate bar pieces over the graham crackers.
10 - Drop spoonfuls of the remaining dough over the top, gently spreading to cover the surface.
11 - Sprinkle with additional chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and crushed graham cracker.
12 - Bake for 28 to 32 minutes until golden and set, with a slightly gooey center.
13 - Allow bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting out using the parchment and cutting into 16 bars.
