Easy S’mores Brownies

Is there anything that screams summer more than s’mores? I have so many fun memories of camping with my family as a kid, and roasting marshmallows over the fire at night. So much fun! I can’t wait to take our kids camping soon, but in the meantime these easy s’mores brownies are a perfect summer dessert. These have all the delicious flavors of s’mores that you love, and can be made quickly in your oven. Rich, dense chocolate brownies. Buttery graham cracker crust on the bottom. Then topped with toasted marshmallows! Are you firing up your oven? Let’s go!

These easy s’mores brownies are such a fun dessert mash up. Everything I love about s’mores, and everything I love about brownies. I shared a sneak peek of these brownies on my Instagram stories a few weeks ago, and you guys were soooo excited! So clearly you all love s’mores just as much as I do. Let’s get to the recipe!

How To Make S’mores Brownies:

  • First, we make the graham cracker crust. Combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, and that’s all there is to it! I don’t add sugar to my graham cracker crusts, because graham crackers already have sugar in them. I just don’t find it necessary! Press the crust into the bottom of the pan, and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Next, we whip up the brownie batter! One bowl, and just a few minutes. Pour the brownie batter over the baked graham cracker crust, and bake 25-30 minutes.
  • Lastly, we toast the marshmallows. Add as many marshmallows as you like, I used about half a bag of marshmallows, just enough to cover the brownies. Then broil them in the oven. Be sure to watch them very carefully, with the oven door open. Rotate the pan every few minutes so they toast evenly. Then serve!

Description

Easy, decadent s’mores brownies! A quick baked alternative to traditional s’mores, with all the delicious s’mores flavors.


Ingredients

Scale

For The Graham Cracker Crust:

1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers (about 10 sheets)

6 tablespoons butter, melted

For The Brownies:

1/2 cup strong brewed coffee

1/2 cup butter, melted and slightly cooled

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs, beaten

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup sugar

2/3 cup cocoa

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

5 oz mini marshmallows (half a standard bag)


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and grease an 8×8 baking dish. Line the bottom with parchment paper, extending up two sides to create “handles”. This will make removing the brownies from the pan much easier!

Combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter in a small bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, and bake for 15 minutes.

While the. graham cracker crust bakes, prepare the brownies.

Combine the coffee, butter, vanilla and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar, mixing until just combined. Add the cocoa and salt, give it a quick stir, and then stir in the flour until no flour shows anymore. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Spread batter evenly over the graham cracker crust – no need to wait for it to cool. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.

When brownies have finished, top with as many marshmallows as you like, evenly covering the top of the brownies. Switch the oven to broil, and very carefully broil the marshmallows until golden brown, turning the pan every 30 seconds or so to evenly toast them. I kept my oven open the entire time to keep a close eye – we don’t want burnt marshmallows!


Notes

Please be sure to watch these carefully as they broil in the oven. The heating element gets quite hot, and we don’t want the marshmallows to burn.
