S'mores Brownies – The Ultimate Chocolatey, Gooey Dessert!


 

  • 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows (or large marshmallows cut in half)

  • 4 full-sheet graham crackers, broken into chunks

  • ½ cup milk chocolate chips (or Hershey’s bars, broken into pieces)

(Optional: drizzle with melted peanut butter or caramel sauce!)


Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Bake the Brownies

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Prepare the brownie batter according to the box instructions (or use your favorite homemade recipe).

  • Pour into a greased 8x8 or 9x9-inch baking dish and bake for 20 minutes (they’ll finish baking later).

2. Add the S'mores Topping

  • Remove the brownies from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top.

  • Press graham cracker chunks lightly into the batter.

  • Cover the entire surface with marshmallows.

3. Finish Baking

  • Return to the oven for 5-10 minutes, until marshmallows are golden and puffy (watch closely—they toast quickly!).

4. Cool & Serve!

  • Let cool 10-15 minutes before slicing (the marshmallows will be molten hot!).

  • For clean cuts, use a knife lightly greased with cooking spray.


Pro Tips for the Best S'mores Brownies

🔹 Underbake the brownies slightly before adding toppings—they’ll finish cooking with the marshmallows.
🔹 For extra gooeyness, add a layer of marshmallow fluff under the toasted marshmallows.
🔹 Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for a more toasted marshmallow top (but watch closely!).
🔹 Use a kitchen torch for a campfire-style toast on the marshmallows.
