- All-Purpose Flour: Standard flour does the job perfectly; it keeps things fluffy yet dense enough.
- Eggs: Fresh eggs add moisture and richness to your brownies; room temperature is best!
- Butter: Melted butter brings out the flavors beautifully; go for unsalted if you can.
- Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet chocolate chips add bursts of melty goodness throughout every brownie.
- Graham Crackers: Crushed graham crackers provide that classic s’mores crunch and flavor.

Let’s Make it Together
Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with nonstick spray so nothing sticks.
Melt Your Butter and Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, melt your butter in the microwave until it’s just liquid gold. Add cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla extract—stir until combined.
Add Eggs and Flour: Incorporate eggs one at a time into your buttery mixture. Mix well before adding flour for a smooth batter; no lumps allowed!
Toss in Chocolate Chips and Graham Crackers: Gently fold in half of the chocolate chips and crushed graham crackers into the batter. This adds delightful surprises within each bite.
Pour Batter into Pan and Top with Marshmallows: Spread the brownie batter evenly into your prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top followed by heaps of mini marshmallows—layer them generously!
Bake to Gooey Perfection!: Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges look set but center remains soft. You want those marshmallows golden brown—trust me.
Now let them cool slightly before slicing into squares—if you can resist diving right in! Serve warm with ice cream or alone as they are deliciously indulgent already.
