Delicious and ooey gooey, these S’mores Brownies capture the classic campfire treat in a convenient big-pan dessert. Perfect for potlucks, picnics, or any backyard BBQ, this recipe brings the nostalgia of s’mores to your kitchen with chocolatey brownies, marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs.

Ingredients

• 1 18.3 oz box of brownie mix
• 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup oil
• 1 egg
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups miniature marshmallows

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350ºF. In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, graham cracker crumbs, water, oil, and egg. Mix by hand for 1 minute until just combined.
2. Step 2: Spread the brownie batter evenly into a nonstick pan or a pan sprayed with nonstick spray.
3. Step 3: Bake the brownies for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted about 2 inches from the edge comes out clean. Be careful not to overcook.
4. Step 4: Remove the brownies from the oven and immediately switch the oven to broil. Sprinkle the marshmallows and chocolate chips evenly over the top.
5. Step 5: Place the pan under the broiler, about 4 to 6 inches from the heat source, for about 1 minute or until the marshmallows are lightly browned. Watch closely to avoid burning.
6. Step 6: Let the brownies cool before cutting into 36 bars. Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• To prevent overcooking, make sure the broiler rack is in position and preheated before removing the brownies from the oven. This allows a quick transition to broiling the topping without losing heat.
• Try adding chopped nuts or drizzle caramel over the top for extra flavor and texture.
• Miniature marshmallows melt best; avoid large marshmallows as they may not toast evenly.

Storage

Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently in a microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften before serving, but avoid overheating to keep the marshmallows from becoming too chewy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use homemade brownie batter instead of a mix?

Yes, homemade brownie batter works well. Just be sure to incorporate the graham cracker crumbs into your batter and follow the baking times closely to avoid overcooking.

What if I don’t have graham cracker crumbs?

You can substitute with crushed digestive biscuits or shortbread cookies for a similar flavor and texture in your brownies.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Brownie Base

• 1 18.3 oz box of brownie mix
• 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup oil
• 1 egg

Topping

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups miniature marshmallows

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) to prepare for baking the brownie base.
2. Mix Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, graham cracker crumbs, water, oil, and egg. Mix everything by hand for about 1 minute until smoothly blended.
3. Spread Batter: Pour and spread the brownie batter evenly into a nonstick baking pan or a pan sprayed with nonstick spray.
4. Bake Brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, testing doneness by inserting a toothpick about 2 inches from the side of the pan – it should come out clean. Avoid overbaking to keep brownies fudgy.
5. Prepare for Broiling: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven immediately. Turn the oven to broil mode and get ready to toast the topping.
6. Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips and miniature marshmallows over the top of the warm brownies.
7. Broil Toppings: Place the pan under the broiler rack set about 4 to 6 inches from the heat source. Broil for approximately 1 minute, or until the marshmallows are lightly browned and toasted. Watch closely to prevent burning.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool sufficiently before cutting into 36 bars for serving. This helps toppings set and bars slice cleanly.

Notes

• Do not overcook the brownies during initial baking to avoid dry, tough bars once broiled with toppings.
• Preheat the broiler rack to the proper height before switching to broil mode to ensure quick, even toasting without heat loss.
• Have the marshmallows and chocolate chips ready to sprinkle immediately when brownies come out of the oven to reduce waiting time and maintain optimal texture.
