Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these decadent treats:

For the Base:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (roughly 10-12 crackers)
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

For the Brownie Layer:

  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (or 1 cup chocolate chips)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (optional for extra chocolatey flavor)

For the Topping:

  • 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
  • 4-5 sheets graham crackers, roughly broken into chunks
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven & Prep Your Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper for an easier release when slicing the brownies.

Step 2: Make the Graham Cracker Base

  1. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir until evenly combined and the texture is like wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan to form a crust. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to pack it down tightly. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Brownie Batter

  1. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
  2. Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar, followed by the eggs, one at a time. Mix well after each addition.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
  4. Gently fold in the flour, salt, and cocoa powder until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

  1. Pour the brownie batter over the graham cracker crust and spread it out evenly.
  2. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. (Remember, it’s better to slightly underbake brownies for that fudgy texture!)

Step 5: Add the Toppings

  1. Remove the pan from the oven and quickly sprinkle the marshmallows, graham cracker chunks, and chocolate chips evenly on top of the brownies.
  2. Return to the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely. The marshmallows should puff up and develop a golden-brown toast, but they can burn quickly, so don’t walk away!

Step 6: Cool and Slice

  1. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper overhang.
  2. Cut into squares using a sharp knife (wipe the knife clean between cuts for neater slices).

Serving Suggestions

These S’mores Brownies are perfect on their own, but if you really want to take things up a notch, serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle with chocolate sauce. You’ll be in dessert heaven!

Storage Tips

If you somehow manage to have leftovers (we won’t judge if this doesn’t happen), store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also refrigerate them for up to a week, but they’re best enjoyed fresh.

Final Thoughts

S’mores Brownies bring together everything we love about s’mores with the rich, indulgent satisfaction of a brownie. They’re easy, delicious, and guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser. Whether you’re hosting friends or simply treating yourself, this recipe is one you’ll keep coming back to.
