Ingredients

Scale

Biscuit Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup whole milk

Buffalo Ranch Topping

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons Buffalo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix

Final Toppings

  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 6 graham crackers, roughly crumbled

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make for easy bar removal.
  2. Mix Biscuit Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Form Base Layer: Stir in the whole milk just until a soft dough comes together. Press this dough evenly into your prepared 9×13-inch baking pan forming the base for the bars.
  4. Prepare Buffalo Ranch Layer: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Buffalo sauce, and ranch seasoning mix. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the biscuit dough base. Use a knife to gently swirl the mixture through the dough to create a marbled effect.
  5. Bake Base: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18 minutes or until the biscuit layer is lightly golden around the edges, indicating it is partially baked through.
  6. Add Topping: Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the mini marshmallows, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and crumbled graham crackers evenly over the partially baked biscuit base.
  7. Finish Baking: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 7 to 8 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed up and golden brown, and the chocolate chips have melted.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Using the parchment paper, lift the bars out of the pan and slice into portions. Serve the bars warm or at room temperature to enjoy the delightful combination of spicy, sweet, and gooey flavors.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
  • Adjust Buffalo sauce amount to control the level of spiciness.
  • For a crispier biscuit base, bake an extra 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
  • These bars are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
