Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (or plant-based milk)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • Optional: 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
  • Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • Optional: Extra graham cracker pieces for topping

Instructions

  1. Spray the inside of a 4–6 quart slow cooker with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Stir until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the slow cooker insert.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. In another bowl, beat eggs, then add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  6. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in marshmallow fluff, leaving streaks for gooey pockets.
  8. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the graham cracker base.
  9. Pour cake batter over the top, spreading gently to cover.
  10. Add mini marshmallows on top. Add optional chips or nuts if desired.
  11. Cover the slow cooker, setting the lid slightly askew or covering with foil to prevent excess condensation.
  12. Cook on LOW for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Start checking at 2 hours; edges should be set, center gooey.
  13. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick near the edge—it should come out mostly clean.
  14. Let the cake rest for 10–15 minutes before serving.
  15. Scoop out portions with a large spoon, making sure to get all layers. Serve warm.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free graham crackers and flour. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and milk. Don’t overmix marshmallow fluff for best gooey texture. If marshmallows brown too quickly, tent with foil. Let cake rest before serving for best molten center. Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 4 days or frozen up to 1 month.
