These fudgy brownies topped with toasted marshmallows, graham crackers, and optional chocolate chips capture the nostalgic flavors of campfire s’mores in an easy-to-make treat perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups (about 100g) graham cracker pieces or roughly broken sheets
  • 2 cups (about 120g) mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×13 inch pan thoroughly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined and slightly glossy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating 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.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet, folding carefully with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with the spatula.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes to set the fudgy base but keep it moist inside. Check with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not dry.
  7. Evenly sprinkle the broken graham crackers, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips over the warm brownies.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes or until the marshmallows are golden and puffy.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before cutting.

Notes

If marshmallows brown too quickly, tent the pan loosely with foil. For a campfire aroma, briefly broil marshmallows for 30 seconds while watching closely. Avoid substituting melted butter with oil to maintain fudgy texture. Use room temperature eggs and fold dry ingredients gently to prevent cakey brownies. Let brownies cool completely before cutting for clean slices.
