these babies definitely weren’t pretty out of the pan, they stuck to everything! proof:
I hope everyone had a good 4th of July! I spent the day working (since we’re only closed three days of the year and sadly, the 4th of July is not one of them) and then bbq’ing with my boyfriend and family. Afterwards, my parents, my bf and I went to the top of a hill and watched the fireworks picnic-style. It was really quite pleasant and I love spending time with my parents. It makes me realize how lucky I am to have them and I can only hope to have even half of the relationship that they have one day.
Because of work, I wasn’t able to bake any 4th of July themed goodies, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t bake this past weekend. I was craving summer and baked some s’mores brownies to satisfy by summer craving. These were delicious! I may have overdone it with the extra graham crackers that I threw in, but no harm done there. These pictures may not look as scrumptious, but I guarantee that they are! I had to give away half of the pan so I wouldn’t eat them myself. My boyfriend’s co-workers devoured them in two minutes. No joke.
The only difference that I would have made is to add the marshmallows on halfway through baking rather than at the beginning. They cooked for a little bit too long and became a bit burnt. The final product was also extremely sticky and nearly impossible to cut without making a mess, so let it cool completely before cutting!
I used my normal brownie base and just added some throw-ins to create this concoction. The brownie is always a winner in my books! You can also use a brownie box mix if you’re short on time; it works just as well.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups sugar (white)
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa
- ½ teaspoon salt
- about 1 cup graham crackers pieces, broken by hand(I used 4 sheets of graham crackers)
- half a bag of large marshmallows
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 9 x 13 pan.
- Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Once melted remove from heat and add sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Blend together.
- In separate bowl, mix together flour, cocoa, and salt. Add dry mixture to the wet and mix well. Add broken graham crackers and mix.
- Pour into greased pan. Place marshmallows over the poured batter, I used about 15 large marshmallows, but you can do more or less depending on your taste. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
These look great! A couple months ago, my brother put marshmallows in brownie mix and it didn’t turn out so good for him. It looked gross. Yours on the other hand look delicious!! I’m still testing brownie recipes and I need to try yours!
I definitely will try this sometime. I love s’mores and these brownies would definitely help with the chocolate craving I always have lol.
Smores brownies? REALLY?!?!? I’m going to make these quick while both my babies are asleep. I LOVE all things smores so this is perfect! Smores brownies, really? I LOVE YOU! 🙂
I saw these on LJ and my eyes went O_O
These are like something out of my wildest dreams. Must make.

These look amazing! Being British, I don’t fully understand what Smores are, but these look delicious nonetheless!!
I tried making these, and I guess I didn’t have enough marshmallows or something, because instead of coating the top of the brownies, the marshmallows got really big and brown.
But they were delicious 🙂
I tried your brownies and decided to put the marshmallows when the brownies were about half way done. I think it is best to just put the marshmallows over the batter and then let them bake together. The marshmallows I did on top didn’t look very nice, your original way seems much better- I will do that next time around.
Hey! I just did a review of your brownies here:
