# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease or line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl.
03 - Use a pastry cutter or fork to work cold butter into the flour mixture until it forms coarse crumbs.
04 - Whisk together buttermilk and egg in a small bowl. Pour over dry ingredients and gently mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
05 - Fold shredded cheddar, diced jalapeños, and chopped chives into the dough.
06 - Gently fold mini marshmallows, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and crushed graham crackers into the dough without overworking.
07 - Spoon thick batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with extra cheddar and crushed graham crackers.
08 - Bake on center rack for 28 to 33 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center returns with moist crumbs.
09 - Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm for a gooey, smores-inspired texture.
