- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks) - 2 cups granulated sugar - 4 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1 cup chocolate chips - 1 cup mini marshmallows - 1 cup crushed graham crackers These ingredients bring the magic to S'mores brownies. The unsalted butter gives a smooth base. Sugar adds sweetness and helps with texture. Eggs provide moisture and help the brownies rise. Vanilla extract enhances flavor. Flour and cocoa powder create a rich, fudgy texture. Baking powder helps them puff up. The salt balances the sweetness. Chocolate chips make each bite gooey. Mini marshmallows add a fun, toasted flavor. Crushed graham crackers give that classic S'mores crunch. - Alternatives for unsalted butter: You can use coconut oil or margarine. Both give similar results. - Egg substitutes for a vegan option: Use applesauce or flaxseed meal mixed with water. Each works well in brownies. - Low-sugar alternatives for healthier brownies: Try using coconut sugar or a sugar substitute like stevia. These keep the sweetness without all the calories. These substitutions let you customize your S'mores brownies. Whether you want them dairy-free or lower in sugar, there's a way to enjoy them!

Just mix in half a cup of creamy peanut butter with the butter and sugar. This blend adds a nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with chocolate. You can also use different chocolate chips. Try dark chocolate for a rich taste or white chocolate for a sweet touch. Each choice changes the flavor, making it your own. If you need gluten-free options, swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free blend. This keeps the brownies just as tasty without the gluten. Make sure your chocolate chips and graham crackers are also gluten-free. For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil instead of butter. You can find dairy-free chocolate chips too. This way, everyone can enjoy these brownies without worry. You can add seasonal toppings for fun! In fall, try chopped apples or cinnamon. For winter holidays, sprinkle some peppermint candies on top. These touches make your brownies festive. S'mores Brownies are great for special occasions. They are perfect for birthday parties or family gatherings. Everyone loves brownies, and these will be a hit! To keep your S'mores Brownies fresh, store them in an airtight container. This helps maintain their soft texture. You can also use plastic wrap to cover them. I prefer glass containers because they do not absorb odors. Layer parchment paper between brownie layers to prevent sticking. Freezing S'mores Brownies is easy and keeps them tasty. Here’s how: 1. Let the brownies cool completely. 2. Cut them into squares. 3. Wrap each square tightly in plastic wrap. 4. Place the wrapped brownies in a freezer-safe bag or container. 5. Label with the date and freeze. When you're ready to enjoy them, follow these tips: - Thaw brownies in the fridge overnight. - For a warm treat, microwave a square for 10-15 seconds. S'mores Brownies last about a week at room temperature. Keep them in a cool, dry place. If stored in the fridge, they can last up to two weeks. Signs that the brownies have gone bad include a dry texture or a sour smell. Always check before eating! What temperature should brownies be when baked? Brownies should bake at 350°F (175°C). This temperature helps them cook evenly. Higher temps can burn the edges before the center is done. A lower temp might leave them too gooey. So stick to this range for the best results! Why are my brownies dry? Brownies can become dry for a few reasons. Overbaking is the main cause. Always check them a bit early with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, they are done. Also, using too much flour can dry them out. Make sure to measure carefully for success! How to know when brownies are done? To know if brownies are done, use a toothpick. Insert it into the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are ready. If it comes out clean, they may be overbaked. Trust your instincts and check them at the lowest baking time. Can I make S'mores Brownies ahead of time? Yes, you can make S'mores Brownies ahead of time. Bake them and cool completely. Then, cover them well. Store them in the fridge for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them. They will taste great even after thawing! Can I use cocoa powder instead of chocolate? Yes, you can use cocoa powder instead of chocolate. Just make sure to adjust the recipe. You’ll need to add a bit more fat to keep it rich. Use about 1/2 cup cocoa powder and add extra butter or oil. This helps keep the brownies moist and tasty. What if I don’t have graham crackers? If you don’t have graham crackers, use other cookies. Digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers work well too. You can even crush up chocolate cookies for a twist. Just aim for a similar texture for the layers. This keeps the S'mores theme alive! - Full Recipe for S'mores Brownies: Detailed instructions and ingredients list included in the recipe section.

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.

      Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

        In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

          Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

            Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

                Sprinkle half of the crushed graham crackers over the brownie layer, followed by half of the mini marshmallows.

                  Pour the remaining brownie batter over the marshmallow and graham cracker layer, smoothing it out gently.

                    Finally, top with the remaining graham cracker crumbs and mini marshmallows.

                      Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.

                        Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 20 minutes. Cut them into squares once cooled.
