Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt
• 2 cups Crushed graham crackers
• 1 cup Quick-cooking oats
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, making sure there’s overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and milk. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it cook for 1-2 minutes while stirring. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and pinch of salt.

Step 4

While the mixture is still warm, add in the crushed graham crackers, quick-cooking oats, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Mix until everything is evenly coated and combined.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it down firmly into an even layer using the back of a spoon or a flat spatula.

Step 6

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is completely set.

Step 7

Once set, lift the parchment paper to remove the block from the pan. Cut into 12 squares using a sharp knife.

Step 8

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
