Chocolate Bar Torte

My mom made this dessert every Christmas for 50 years. Now it’s one of my family’s traditions since she passed on.

Original recipe makes 1 9×13-inch pan

Ingredients

1 cup milk
2 tablespoons milk
48 large marshmallows, chopped
8 (1.55 ounce) bars chocolate candy (such as Hershey’s®)
3 cups heavy whipping cream
30 graham cracker squares, crushed
1/4 cup white sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Pour both amounts of milk into a saucepan, place over medium heat, and bring milk almost to a simmer, stirring often. Add marshmallows and chocolate candy bars. Stir until marshmallows and chocolate melt and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool.
Whip cream in a large bowl until fluffy and cream holds stiff peaks when beaters are lifted straight up, about 5 minutes. Gently fold cooled marshmallow mixture into whipped cream.
Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter until crust mixture is evenly moist. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Spread marshmallow filling evenly over the crumb crust. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
