Ingredients
  • FOR CAKE
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter
  • FOR FILLING
  • 1 8-oz. package cream cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 16-oz. bag powdered sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  • 1 bag milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3 graham crackers, broken into small chunks and crumbs
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well. Pat into bottom of pan and set aside.
  3. With the electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth; add eggs and vanilla. Add powdered sugar and mix well. Reduce speed and slowly pour in butter. Mix well.
  4. Pour filling over cake layer and spread evenly. Sprinkle chocolate chips over filling.
  5. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. (Note: center of cake will still be slightly gooey—that's a good thing!)
  6. Set oven to broil. Sprinkle cake evenly with marshmallows and graham cracker chunks. Broil until marshmallows are toasted and browned.
  7. Refrigerate until ready to use. Make sure the cake is well-chilled before attempting to cut.
  8. For a clean cut and to avoid the marshmallows sticking to your knife, cut cake with a heated, non-serrated knife. (I just had a tall glass of hot water that I used to dip my knife into. Dip knife into glass, wipe with a paper towel, and cut).
  9. Store leftovers in fridge.
