Using hazelnuts in the crust gives the bars a Nutella-like flavor. You can also omit the nuts entirely; reduce the butter by 2 tablespoons. For the crust: For the bars: ½ cup hazelnuts, walnuts, or 1 cup heavy cream blanched almonds 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, 6 graham cracker sheets, broken broken into small pieces into pieces 32 large marshmallows 2 tablespoons sugar ¼ teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons butter • Heat the oven to 350˚. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and toast, tossing occasionally, until golden, about 10 minutes. Remove, leaving oven on. If using hazelnuts, gather them in a clean kitchen towel and rub together to remove most of the skins. • Place the nuts, crackers, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor and pulverize to fine crumbs. Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the crumb mixture; toss to combine thoroughly. • Lightly oil the bottom and sides of a 9-by-9-inch brownie pan. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake until golden, about 12 minutes. Set aside to cool completely. • Place the chocolate pieces in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer. Pour over the chocolate, and set aside for 10 minutes. Stir the chocolate into the cream, mixing thoroughly. Pour chocolate mixture over the crust and refrigerate until set, about 45 minutes. • Preheat the broiler. Cut the marshmallows in half horizontally and arrange snugly on top of the chocolate. Place under the broiler to toast the marshmallows, turning the pan and watching closely so they don’t burn (unless you like burnt marshmallows).
