Ingredients
  

1 box of chocolate cake mix

3 large eggs

1 cup of water

1/3 cup of vegetable oil

1 cup of mini marshmallows

1 cup of graham cracker crumbs

1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup of sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Extra mini marshmallows for topping

Chocolate sauce for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Use a whisk or electric mixer to blend these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

      Carefully fold in the mini marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs, chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt using a spatula, ensuring everything is evenly mixed without over-stirring.

        Pour the rich batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly to ensure uniform cooking.

          Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the cake is ready.

            Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and sprinkle the additional mini marshmallows generously over the top. Return the cake to the oven for an extra 5 minutes, allowing the marshmallows to toast and puff up beautifully.

              After baking, let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, generously drizzle chocolate sauce over the top for a delectable finish before slicing.
