🥘Ingredients

For the Brownie Base

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

For the Topping

1 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup chocolate chips

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
3In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely.
4Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
5Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
6Stir in the vanilla extract.
7In a separate small bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
8Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.
9Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
10Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
11Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot brownies.
12Let them sit for 2 minutes to soften, then spread the melted chocolate into a thin layer.
13Top the chocolate layer with mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs.
14Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until the marshmallows are puffed and lightly golden.
15For a toasted finish, switch the oven to broil on high and watch carefully.
16Broil for 30 to 60 seconds until the marshmallow tops are browned to your liking, but do not walk away as they burn quickly.
17Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
18This ensures clean slices and set layers.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About S’mores Brownies

Q: Can I substitute the graham cracker crumbs with another type of crust?

A: While graham cracker crumbs are traditional in s’mores recipes, you can definitely experiment with other types of crusts if you prefer. Some options might include crushed Oreos or even a simple shortbread crust.

Q: How do I ensure that my marshmallows are toasted to perfection?

A: To get that perfect golden-brown color on your marshmallows, simply place them under the broiler for 30-60 seconds or until they reach your desired level of toastiness.

Q: Can I make these brownies ahead of time?
