Easy S'mores Brownies Ingredients
- Honey Graham Crackers
- Salted Butter
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Pure Vanilla Extract
- Unbleached All Purpose Flour
- Milk Chocolate Chips
- Mini Marshmallows
- Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar
Substitution Suggestions:
- Salted Butter: You can use unsalted butter, but add ½ teaspoon of salt to the brownie batter.
- Homemade Brownies: to make this recipe even easier, you can use a box mix of brownies for a 9x13 baking dish. However, in my opinion the homemade brownie tastes so much better!
- Milk Chocolate Chips: You can use your favorite chocolate chip if you prefer. I like to use milk chocolate so the flavor of classic s'mores really stands out.
- Mini Marshmallows: Large marshmallows did not work well with this recipe. However, you can use marshmallow fluff it's just a little bit messier when you spread it over the brownies but just as tasty!
How to Make S'mores Brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or you can line the baking dish with parchment paper and grease the paper.
- Layer 7 ¼ graham cracker sheets in the bottom of the prepared pan. Add the remaining graham crackers to a plastic bag and roughly crush them or break them up into small pieces. Break the Hershey's bar into 12 pieces.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat on the stove or in a large glass mixing bowl in the microwave. I almost always use the microwave.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
- Add the white sugar and whisk until combined.
- Next, add the eggs and pure vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and airy.
- Stir in the all purpose flour with a spatula.
- Now, fold in ¾ cup of the milk chocolate chips.
- Add the brownie batter on top of the graham cracker layer in the baking dish and gently spread it to the edges. Pro tip: an offset spatula works great for this.
- Bake the brownies for 30-32 minutes until the center is not jiggly and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a little bit of batter on it. The brownies will be a little underdone at this point.
- Sprinkle the marshmallows in a single layer on top of the brownies. Then sprinkle the remaining milk chocolate chips and graham cracker crumbs. Lastly, place the Hershey's bar pieces on top of everything.
- Place brownies back in the oven and bake for 6-7 minutes until the marshmallows have puffed up and started to turn a light golden brown.
- Let brownies cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
How to Store S'mores Brownies From Scratch
Storing: These S'mores Brownies store best at room temperature tightly covered. They'll last up to 5 days, but I'm assuming they'll be gone the day you make them!
Freezing: These brownies freeze best when they are individually wrapped in plastic wrap and then placed in a freezer safe air tight container or zip top bag. Freeze up to 4 months.
Thawing: Remove brownie from freezer, unwrap and let thaw on the counter for at least 30 minutes.
Tips for the Best S'mores Brownies
- For easy removal, line the baking dish with parchment paper. This will allow you to remove the entire pan of brownies all at once and then slice easily.
- For best results don't overbake the brownies, you want them to be just slightly underdone before adding the marshmallows.
- If you want a more toasted marshmallow, you can broil the marshmallows instead of baking them. Set your oven to broil and broil for 2-3 minutes, watch closely so you don't burn them.
- The best way to cut the brownies into slices is to rub some nonstick spray on a serrated knife and make one slice. Then clean the knife and repeat. This will help make clean cuts when slicing the brownies.
