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.
