How to Make Easy Homemade S’mores Brownies: The Best Crispy & Creamy Dessert Ever!

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined but don’t overmix to keep the brownies tender.
4. Pour half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle one cup of graham cracker crumbs and half of the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips evenly over the batter. Carefully spread the remaining batter on top to cover the filling layer.
5. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the brownies and gently sprinkle the remaining marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs on top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the marshmallows are puffed and lightly golden.
6. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing. This helps the layers set and makes cutting easier.
7. Cut into 16 squares with a sharp knife, wiping it clean between cuts for neat edges, and serve.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter and better rise.
• Don’t overmix the batter to keep your brownies fudgy and tender.
• If you prefer a crunchier top, broil the marshmallows for 1-2 minutes while watching closely.
• For extra richness, add ½ cup chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the batter.
• Let the brownies cool thoroughly before slicing to avoid messy cuts.

Storage and Reheating

Store your s’mores brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them for up to 3 months wrapped tightly.

To reheat, warm individual brownies in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to soften the marshmallow layer, or warm a batch in a 300°F oven for 5-7 minutes. This brings back the gooey texture perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular-sized marshmallows instead of mini?

Yes, but you may want to chop them into smaller pieces so they distribute evenly and melt well without overpowering the brownies.

What kind of chocolate works best for these brownies?

Semisweet chocolate chips provide a nice balance of sweetness and richness. You can also use milk or dark chocolate chips depending on your preference.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Absolutely! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend and ensure the graham crackers are gluten-free as well.

How do I prevent the marshmallows from burning?

Watch the brownies closely during the last few minutes of baking and broiling, as marshmallows can brown quickly. Removing them as soon as they’re golden helps avoid burning.
