Easy S’mores Brownie Recipe
So, what do you do when you’re craving some serious ooey, gooey, chocolaty comfort food? You whip up a big ol’ batch of fudgy brownies topped with toasted marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs and more chocolate!
These super delicious s’mores brownies are incredibly easy to make in just one bowl. So, not only is this an easy recipe, but clean-up is also easy! In fact, this easy brownie recipe is so simple that my youngest daughter usually bakes them all by herself! Luckily, she shares them with us!

Ingredients
You need a few simple ingredients for these homemade brownies. What you don’t already have at in your pantry can be found online or in your local grocery store. Full amounts are in the printable recipe card below.
- Butter — I use salted butter, but unsalted butter works.
- Semi sweet chocolate chips — the base of the brownies, as they do not contain cocoa powder. There are also semi sweet chocolate chips in the brownies!
- Eggs — large eggs
- Vanilla extract
- Granulated sugar
- All purpose flour
- Baking soda
- Ground cinnamon — adds depth of flavor, but you can leave it out
- Miniature marshmallows — for the topping
- Milk chocolate bar — broken into pieces, for the topping
- Graham crackers — broken into small pieces, for the brownie topping
How to Make S’mores Brownies
In a large mixing bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave in 30 second intervals. You can also melt the chocolate and butter over the stove, if you prefer a stove-top method.
Once those are melted, add the eggs and vanilla into the same large bowl as the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
When the wet ingredients are well mixed, add the sugar, cinnamon, flour, and baking soda, and stir. Lastly, stir in the remaining chocolate chips, and pour brownie batter into a prepared pan.
You can bake the brownies in a glass baking pan greased with nonstick spray. I prefer to use a metal pan lined with parchment paper. Just make sure it is a 9 x 13 pan.
When it’s time to cut the brownies, just lift them out of the pan by the parchment paper. They’re so much easier to cut, and you don’t have to clean a sticky pan!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees f. Bake brownies for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. There may be some melted chocolate on the toothpick, though.
Remove brownies from oven, and spread the mini marshmallows evenly over the top of the brownies. Place brownies back in the oven, and broil until marshmallows are golden brown.
I recommend letting the marshmallows cool slightly. Then, you top them with cut-up chocolate bars and graham cracker pieces. That’s it!
How to Store Brownie S’mores
Store smores brownies at room temperature in an airtight container or covered with foil or plastic wrap. These delicious chocolatey brownies should last 3 to 4 days — they never stay that long in my house though! You can store them in the fridge, but the marshmallows tend to get soggy. I don’t recommend freezing them.
Variations
If you don’t want to make homemade brownies, you can use a boxed brownie mix instead. Just follow the instructions on the boxed mix, and then top brownies with marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs, and chocolate pieces after baking.
Instead of crushing up graham crackers, use Golden Grahams cereal.
I love gooey marshmallows, but you can use marshmallow fluff on top of the brownies instead. Spread the fluff all over the brownies, and broil until golden brown.
I use milk chocolate Hershey bars like you would in traditional s’mores, but you can choose your favorite chocolate squares for these brownie bars. Or, use semi-sweet chocolate morsels or milk chocolate chips.
Recipe Tip
You’ll want to dig right into these gooey fudgy brownies right away. But, if you want nice, clean cuts, you’ll need to let them cool slightly. The marshmallows are super sticky and messy. As the brownies cool down, it’s a lot easier to handle them.
After brownies have cooled slightly, use a plastic knife to cut them instead of a metal one. Brownie crumbs will not stick to the plastic.

How long should I microwave the chocolate chips & butter? Is the point to make sure they are both melted?
You melt them together so they form a smooth chocolate base. I do it in short increments — maybe 10 seconds at a time while stirring in between.
Any reccomendations for storing these or how long they will keep? They look amazing!
They honestly don’t last long here — maybe a day or two before the kids finish them off, but they should last longer without any problems. If it’s cool enough, I keep them covered on the counter, but in the summer, they keep well in the fridge.
What a yummy dessert, we will love this Dee! I sure appreciate you sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday. Have a great week and come back soon!
