These Ultimate Gooey S’mores Brownies combine a crunchy graham cracker crust, a rich fudgy brownie base, and a perfectly torched marshmallow topping for a nostalgic, indulgent treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 5 tbsp (70g) unsalted butter, melted
  • About 3 cups (150g) large marshmallows, mini or halved
  • 1 cup (175g) milk or dark chocolate chunks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 2 tbsp sugar, and 5 tbsp melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch pan. Bake for 8 minutes until set and slightly golden. Remove and cool.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and 1 ½ cups sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture with a rubber spatula until thick and fudgy.
  4. Pour brownie batter evenly over cooled crust. Sprinkle chocolate chunks if using.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs but no raw batter. Edges should be set and slightly pulling away.
  6. Remove from oven and immediately arrange marshmallows evenly on top. Using a kitchen torch, toast marshmallows until golden brown and slightly charred (1-2 minutes). Alternatively, broil for 30-60 seconds watching closely.
  7. Cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes to set marshmallow topping. Cut with a sharp knife, wiping clean between cuts.

Notes

Use room-temperature eggs for better emulsification. Press graham cracker crust firmly for crunch and structure. Keep torch moving in small circles to avoid burning marshmallows. Cool brownies before cutting to prevent marshmallow stretching. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour and gluten-free graham crackers. Dairy-free options include margarine or coconut oil and vegan marshmallows.
