Instructions
1. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well mixed. Press this mixture into the bottom of mini tart shells or a muffin tin to create a crust.
2. Bake the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the crust for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
3. Add chocolate: Sprinkle a layer of chocolate chips evenly over the cooled crust. If using a muffin tin, use about one tablespoon for each cup.
4. Melt the chocolate: Place the mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate layer. Return to the oven for another 3-5 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and gooey.
5. Cool and garnish: Allow the tarts to cool completely. For an extra touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the top before serving.
