Instructions

Prep: Grease an 8- or 9-inch square pan and line it with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Graham Layer: Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press into the pan. Bake for 10 minutes and cool completely.
Caramel Layer: Heat sugar with lemon juice in a saucepan until it turns amber. Whisk in heavy cream, butter, salt, and vanilla. Pour over the graham layer and allow it to firm up.
Marshmallow Layer: Mix gelatin with water and vanilla. Heat honey, brown sugar, salt, and water in a saucepan, cooking until the sugar mixture reaches 245-250°F. Slowly pour into the gelatin while whipping. Continue to whip until thickened. Fold in melted dark chocolate. Pour marshmallow over the caramel layer and let it set in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
Serve: Cut into squares once set.

Notes

If using unsalted butter in the caramel, adjust salt amount.
