How to Make Marshmallow Delight

  1. **Prepare the Crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  2. **Press into Pan:** Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or your fingers to ensure an even layer.
  3. **Make the Filling:** In a large saucepan, heat 1 cup milk and 2 cups mini marshmallows over medium heat.
  4. **Melt Marshmallows:** Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  5. **Cool and Combine:** Let the marshmallow mixture cool slightly, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup peanut butter, and ½ cup chopped pecans (optional).
  6. **Assemble the Dessert:** Pour the marshmallow filling over the prepared crust and spread evenly.
  7. **Add Caramel:** Drizzle your favorite caramel topping generously over the top.
  8. **Chill:** Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set, before serving.
