Why You’ll Love Gooey S’mores Brownie Bars

I remember the first time I made s’mores brownie bars. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon and I wanted the cozy feeling of a campfire without having to go outside. As I pulled the bars out of the oven, the smell of melted chocolate and toasted marshmallows instantly transported me to the warmth of a campfire. The combination of fudgy brownies, crunchy graham crackers, and sticky marshmallows was absolutely irresistible.

These bars are not only delicious but also ridiculously easy to make! No campfire is required and they can be cooked and served in about an hour. They bring together the best parts of both desserts into one unforgettable treat.

Ingredients you will need

The best part about these gooey s’mores brownie bars is that the ingredients are simple and easy to find. Here’s everything you’ll need:

• 1 box of brownie mix (around 400g, plus the ingredients listed on the box – usually eggs, oil and water)
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 100g)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (115g), melted
• 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows (about 150g)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 170g)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (about 30g)
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Gooey S’mores Brownie Bars

Step 1: Preheat the oven and prepare the pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9 × 9 inch (23 × 23 cm) baking dish or line it with parchment paper to easily remove the bars once they’re done. This ensures that the bars do not stick and makes cleaning easier.

Step 2: Prepare the brownie mix

In a large mixing bowl, prepare brownie mix according to box directions. Most brownie mixes will ask you to add eggs, oilAnd water. Once mixed, set aside while you prepare the graham cracker crust.

Step 3: Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust

In another bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs (100g), melted butter (115g), and a pinch of salt. Stir until everything is well combined and you have a crumbly mixture. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create the crust.

Step 4: layer the brownie and marshmallows

Pour the prepared brownie batter over the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly. Then sprinkle mini marshmallows (150 g) on ​​the brownie batter. You want the marshmallows to cover the surface, but don’t worry about them being perfect—this will create that gooey, melted marshmallow effect when cooked!

Step 5: Add Chocolate Chips

Garnish the marshmallows with semi-sweet chocolate chips (170g). The chocolate chips will melt into the marshmallows as they cook, adding a rich layer of chocolatey goodness.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean (it’s okay if a little brownie batter sticks to it because you want that gooey texture). During the last few minutes of cooking, you’ll notice the marshmallows start to brown slightly: that’s when you’ll know they’re almost ready!

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Once your bars are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes. This helps the bars set and makes them easier to cut. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve!

FAQ: everything you need to know

Q1: Can I make these bars without brownie mix?
Yes, absolutely! You can make homemade brownies from scratch if you prefer. Just make sure the consistency is thick enough to hold the marshmallows and chocolate chips on top.

Q2: Can I use regular sized marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?
Yes, you can! If using regular marshmallows, cut them in half or quarters to ensure they melt evenly on top of the brownies.

Q3: Can I freeze these bars?
Yes, these bars freeze wonderfully. Simply cut them into squares and place them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the freezer until 2-3 months. Simply let them thaw at room temperature before serving.

Q4: How can I make these bars even more delicious?
For more deliciousness, you can incorporate a few peanut butter Or Nutella in the brownie batter before baking. You can also sprinkle a little toffee Or caramel pieces on top for extra texture and flavor!
