INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 1 cup crushed graham crackers

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy lifting.
2. Melt Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquid. Allow it to cool slightly.
3. Combine Sugar and Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until well combined and slightly pale in color.
4. Add Vanilla and Melted Butter: Stir in the pure vanilla extract and the melted butter into the sugar and egg mixture.
5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
7. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Layer the S’mores: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the batter, followed by the mini marshmallows.
9. Add Remaining Batter: Pour the remaining brownie batter on top, spreading it carefully to cover the filling.
10. Bake the Brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
11. Cool and Slice: Allow the S’mores Brownies to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Use the parchment paper overhangs to lift the brownies out of the pan and onto a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Cut and Serve: Once the brownies are completely cooled, cut them into squares or bars. Enjoy the delightful fusion of campfire flavors and chocolatey indulgence in every bite.
