How to Make S’mores Brownies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, and salt together. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until combined.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs and mini marshmallows.
  6. Pour the remaining brownie batter on top to cover the marshmallows and crumbs.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  8. Let the brownies cool before cutting them into squares and serving.

How to Serve S’mores Brownies

Serve the S’mores Brownies warm for an extra gooey experience. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Add some extra chocolate sauce or graham cracker crumbs for a fun presentation!

How to Store S’mores Brownies

To store S’mores Brownies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for about 3-4 days. If you want to keep them longer, consider refrigerating them, where they can last up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

Tips to Make S’mores Brownies

  • Be careful not to overbake the brownies; they should be fudgy in the center.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
  • You can use larger marshmallows, but be sure to cut them into smaller pieces for more even distribution.

Variation

Feel free to mix things up by adding nuts or swapping out chocolate chips for white chocolate or caramel bits. You can also layer in different flavors of cookies or candies for a unique twist!
