🔥 S’mores Brownie Recipe
Ingredients
- For the Graham Cracker Crust:
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs 🍪
- ¼ cup granulated sugar 🍬
- 6 tbsp melted butter 🧈
- For the Brownie Layer:
- ½ cup melted butter 🧈
- 1 cup granulated sugar 🍬
- 2 eggs 🥚
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 🌿
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫
- ½ cup all-purpose flour 🌾
- ¼ tsp salt 🧂
- For the Topping:
- 1½ cups mini marshmallows 🔥
- Optional: chocolate chunks or drizzle 🍫
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the crust:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes. Let cool slightly. - Make the brownie batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, then stir in cocoa powder, flour, and salt until just combined. - Layer & bake:
Pour brownie batter over the cooled crust and spread evenly. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the center is set but still fudgy. - Add marshmallows:
Remove brownies from oven and sprinkle evenly with marshmallows. Return to oven for 3–5 minutes, just until marshmallows are golden and melty. For extra toastiness, broil for 1–2 minutes (watch closely!). - Cool & slice:
Let cool completely before slicing into squares. Wipe knife between cuts for clean edges. 🍫🔥
