1 bag Campfire® Holiday Mix Marshmallows
1 Tablespoons water
1 bag dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 300°F. Line an 8×8 inch pan with foil and spray with non-stick baking spray. Set aside.

In a medium size bowl, mix together softened butter, sugar, and salt with a fork. Add in cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and chili powder and mix until well combined.

Press mixture into bottom of prepared pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Allow shortbread to cool completely.

Stir until marshmallows are melted and smooth. Spread over shortbread with an offset spatula.

Chill until marshmallow layer is firm.

Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a small microwave safe bowl on high in 30 second intervals. Stir between each interval until chocolate is smooth and glossy. Spread over chilled marshmallow layer.

Sprinkle chocolate with a touch of sea salt and allow to set until chocolate is firm. Cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Chill or freeze for longer storage.
