How to Make S’mores Brownies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press into the bottom of the baking pan to form the crust.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the brownie batter over the graham cracker crust and spread evenly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle mini marshmallows on top. Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until marshmallows are toasted.
  8. Allow to cool before slicing into bars.
