I've made these a few times now. I've messed around with all crumbs on bottom, using milk chocolate chips, using more butter...basically trying some of the most popular suggestions. Our favorite? AS WRITTEN! The semi-sweet chips are the best compliment to the sweet marshmallows and crust and I love the look and little bit of extra "crunch" you get with the first bite when the crumbs are on the top and bottom. The butter amount is perfect. If you put more in, it's just TOO rich. But, once I accidentally used 3/4 a SICK instead of 3/4 a CUP (which is 1 and 1/2 a stick) of butter. That did not work very well! So make sure you use 3/4 a cup (not 3/4 a stick) and you will be fine. Don't forget to butter or "Pam" the pan. SOMETHING I JUST DISCOVERED: I made these last weekend for a family gathering. I used pre-crushed graham crackers I bought from the store. BIG MISTAKE! I saw where a lot of reviewers were having problems with dryness/not-sweet-enough-ness. Every time I make these with graham crackers I crush myself and use the amount of butter and sugar called for, they are SUPERB. But this time the crust did not hold together and it was not sweet enough. Down right "yucky" compared to the normal turn out. I learned my lesson! No more pre-crushed graham crackers for me.
