Ingredients you’ll need

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup graham cracker crumbs

How to make S’mores Brownies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, making sure to spread it evenly across the bottom.
Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs and mini marshmallows evenly over the brownie batter layer.
Pour the remaining brownie batter over the graham cracker and marshmallow layer and spread it to cover completely.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool slightly in the pan before cutting them into squares. Enjoy the delightful flavors of s’mores in a brownie!

Pro tips for best results

Do not overmix: It’s important to mix the batter until just combined to maintain that fudgy texture.
Adjust baking time: Ovens can vary, so check your brownies a few minutes before the timer goes off.
Let cool before slicing: Allowing the brownies to cool will help them set properly and make cutting easier.

Variations and substitutions

Gluten-free: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
Vegan: Use plant-based butter and flax eggs instead of regular eggs.
Flavor twists: Add crushed nuts or swap in peanut butter chips for an extra layer of flavor.

How to store and reheat

Refrigeration Guidelines: Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Freezing Instructions: Freeze brownies for 2-3 months. Wrap each brownie individually in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe container.
Best Reheating Methods: To reheat, place individual brownies in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm them in an oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes.

Common questions

Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini? Yes, you can cut regular marshmallows into smaller pieces, but mini marshmallows distribute more evenly.
What if I don’t have graham crackers? You can substitute with crushed biscuits or cookies for a similar texture and taste.
Can I use dark chocolate cocoa powder? Absolutely! Using dark cocoa powder will give your brownies a richer flavor.
How can I tell when the brownies are done? Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.

Final thoughts

These s’mores brownies are not just a treat; they are an experience. Each bite brings a wave of nostalgia and sweetness that’s hard to resist. I encourage you to try this recipe and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors that make these brownies so special. Happy baking!
