Ingredient Swaps and Additions
Feel free to get creative with this recipe! You can swap granulated sugar for brown sugar for a deeper, caramelized flavor. If you love nuts, toss in some chopped walnuts or pecans. For an extra chocolatey experience, use white chocolate chips or peanut butter chips alongside or instead of just chocolate chips. A sprinkle of sea salt over the marshmallow fluff can elevate the flavor to new heights!
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup and perfect edges.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and inviting!
3. Crack in the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. The chocolatey goodness will start to come together beautifully!
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt—this dry mix will give your brownies structure!
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix; we want these brownies to be extra fudgy!
6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips for those delightful melted pockets of chocolate.
7. Pour half of the brownie batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
8. Next, arrange the coarsely chopped graham crackers over the batter, covering it fully with a crunchy layer.
9. Carefully spread the marshmallow fluff over the graham crackers. Take your time; this layer is the gooey heart of your S’mores Adventure!
10. Top with the remaining brownie batter, spreading gently to make sure the marshmallow fluff is covered.
11. Bake for 30-35 minutes. When a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, it’s time to pull these babies out!
12. Let them cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Serving Suggestions
These S’mores brownies are perfect on their own, but why not serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream? Or, make it a dessert platter with fresh berries! A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce can also take this adventure to another level!
Pro Tips for Success
– Don’t skip the parchment paper; it makes removing the brownies easy!
– Ensure all ingredients, especially eggs, are at room temperature for better mixing.
– Allow the brownies to cool completely for cleaner cuts and easier serving!
– Keep an eye on them towards the end of baking to avoid overcooking.
Storing and Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, pop a square in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds—just enough to get that gooey goodness back!
FAQ Section
– Can I make these brownies nut-free? Absolutely! Just omit any nuts from the recipe.
– What if I don’t have marshmallow fluff? You can use mini marshmallows instead, but they won’t have the same silky texture.
– Can I freeze leftovers? Yes! Cut into squares, place in a single layer in a freezer-safe container, and freeze for up to 3 months.

The S’mores Brownie Adventure is not just a recipe; it’s a heartfelt indulgence that brings everyone together!
