Ingredients:
For the graham cracker crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tbsp melted butter
For the brownie layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
For the topping:
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- Extra graham cracker pieces and chocolate chunks for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Make the graham cracker crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the crumbs are fully coated. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Prepare the brownie batter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt, and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake the brownies: Pour the brownie batter over the graham cracker crust and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Add the marshmallow topping: Remove the brownies from the oven and turn on the broiler. Evenly sprinkle the mini marshmallows over the top of the brownies. Place the pan under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning, until the marshmallows are golden and toasted.
- Cool and serve: Let the brownies cool slightly before cutting into squares. Garnish with extra graham cracker pieces and chocolate chunks if desired.
These S’mores Brownies are rich, gooey, and packed with the classic flavors of chocolate, marshmallow, and graham crackers—perfect for satisfying any s’mores craving without a campfire!
