Ingredients:

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
2 cups mini marshmallows
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until crumbs are coated.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the baking dish to form a crust.
Bake the Brownies:
Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions.
Pour the brownie batter over the graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Add the Toppings:
Remove brownies from the oven and immediately sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the top.
Sprinkle milk chocolate chips and dark chocolate chips over the marshmallows.
Finish Baking:
Return the brownies to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until marshmallows are golden brown and chocolate chips are melted.
Cool and Serve:
Allow brownies to cool completely in the baking dish before cutting into squares.
Serve and savor the gooey, chocolatey, and marshmallowy goodness!
Serving Tips:
Presentation: Serve S’mores Brownies straight from the baking dish for a rustic appeal or transfer them to a serving platter for a more polished look.
Accompaniments: Pair each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
Garnish: Sprinkle extra graham cracker crumbs on top before serving to enhance the crunch and visual appeal.
Warm or Cold: These brownies can be enjoyed warm from the oven or at room temperature, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Storage Tips:
Cooling: Ensure the brownies are completely cooled in the baking dish before storing to prevent condensation.
Covering: Once cooled, cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or transfer individual brownie squares to an airtight container.
Refrigeration: Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days to maintain freshness and gooey texture, especially in warmer climates.
Freezing: For longer storage, wrap individual brownie squares in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
Reheating: To restore the warm, gooey texture, reheat individual brownie squares in the microwave for a few seconds or warm them in a low oven.

FAQs:
Can I use homemade brownie batter instead of a boxed mix?
Absolutely! You can substitute homemade brownie batter for the boxed mix. Ensure it’s prepared to a similar consistency as directed on the package for best results.
Can I use regular-sized marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?
Yes, you can! Cut regular-sized marshmallows into smaller pieces or use them whole if preferred. Adjust baking time as needed to ensure they melt and brown evenly.
How do I prevent the marshmallows from sticking to the knife when cutting brownies?
To prevent sticky marshmallows, coat your knife with non-stick cooking spray or dip it in hot water and wipe it dry before each cut. This helps achieve cleaner slices.
Can I make these brownies ahead of time for a party?
Yes, you can prepare S’mores Brownies ahead of time. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped and thaw in the refrigerator before serving. Reheat briefly in the microwave or oven to restore their gooey texture.
