Ingredients
For the Brownie Layer:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
For the S’mores Topping:
1 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 4 graham crackers)
1/4 cup chocolate chips
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
-
Make the Brownie Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined.
-
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
-
Bake the Brownies: Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
-
Prepare the S’mores Topping: In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir in the chocolate chips.
-
Assemble the S’mores Brownies: Once the brownies have cooled slightly, sprinkle the graham cracker crumb mixture evenly over the top. Add the mini marshmallows on top, spreading them out evenly.
-
Broil the Topping: Place the brownies under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted (watch closely to prevent burning!).
-
Cool and Serve: Let the brownies cool completely before slicing into squares. Serve and enjoy the gooey, s’mores-inspired treat!
