Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownie Base:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 8 oz semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
For the Topping:
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 4 graham crackers, coarsely crushed
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Pan:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
- Make the Brownie Batter:
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Whisk in the granulated sugar until fully combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, folding gently until just incorporated.
- Bake the Brownie Base:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Add the Topping:
- Remove the brownies from the oven and immediately sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the top.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 3–5 minutes, until marshmallows are puffed and lightly golden.
- Finish with Graham Cracker Crumble:
- While the marshmallows toast, place crushed graham crackers on a baking sheet and toast for 3–5 minutes until golden and fragrant.
- Sprinkle the toasted graham crackers over the melted marshmallows.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan, slice into squares, and serve.
Notes
- Optional Additions: Add a drizzle of melted chocolate over the graham cracker topping for an extra indulgent touch.
- Storage: Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Serving Tip: Serve warm for a gooey texture or chilled for firmer slices.
