These S’mores Brownies combine everything you love about campfire s’mores with rich, cakey brownies in one easy dessert bar. They start with a buttery graham cracker crust, get layered with chocolate brownie batter and marshmallows, then finish with even more gooey marshmallows and crunchy graham cracker pieces on top.
They’re the perfect dessert when you want something nostalgic but a little more substantial than traditional s’mores. The graham cracker crust stays crisp, the brownies bake up soft and chocolatey, and the marshmallows turn golden and gooey in the oven. No campfire required.
Helpful Tips
- Let the graham cracker crust cool slightly before adding the brownie batter so the layers stay distinct.
- Don’t overbake the brownies. Pull them out when the center is just set for the fudgiest texture.
