These S’mores Brownies are what summer dreams are made of. Fudgy, chewy brownies are topped with marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers to create the perfect summer dessert!
Summer is coming up, which means I’m so ready to be sitting in front of a bonfire stuffing my face full of s’mores.
I’m a lover of s’mores and I think it’s time for me to start experimenting with different ways for me to enjoy my favorite summer treat (well… these and peach cobbler)! Hence… S’mores Brownies! The thought of these is already making me smile, remembering high school nights in front of bonfires, joking with my friends.
This dessert is delicious! The base of the brownies is a fudgy, chewy brownie. Then, they’re topped with ooey gooey marshmallows and a sprinkling of chocolate chips and graham crackers. Hello food bliss!

How to Make S’mores Brownies
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Put the melted butter in a bowl with the granulated sugar and the brown sugar. Use an electric hand mixer to combine.
Add the eggs and vanilla and mix to combine.
Put your chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20 second increments, mixing between each round. Microwave until fully melted, normally 3-4 rounds in total.
Add the melted chocolate into the butter/sugar combination. Use a rubber spatula to combine.
Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Use your rubber spatula to mix until combined.
Grease an 8×8 glass pan with nonstick spray.
Cook for about 45 minutes depending on desired doneness. Your brownies are done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
When the brownies are done, add the chocolate and graham crackers to the top of the brownies, in that order. Pour the mini marshmallows on top of the layers in the pan. Turn your broiler to low, and put the brownies and marshmallows under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, until the marshmallows are toasted and begin to turn brown. Make sure to watch them closely, as they can burn fast, and you don’t want that!
Allow the brownies to cool completely before enjoying. If eating the next day, heat up the brownies before eating to soften the chocolate chips and marshmallows again!

How to Broil the Marshmallows
I had some trouble broiling the marshmallows the first time that I made these brownies, and they almost *gulp* caught on fire! So, learn from my mistakes. This is what you do!:
Turn your broiler to low. Marshmallows toast quickly, so you don’t need much power here.
Put the top oven rack pretty close to the top of the oven. Add your brownies (with marshmallows on top) to the highest rack. Allow them to cook for about 1-2 minutes, but keep a close eye. The marshmallows burn easily, and you don’t want that!
Watch the marshmallows until they start to toast. Then, remove from the oven!
Can I Make this Recipe Ahead of Time
Yes, you can definitely make these brownies ahead of time! The brownies will stay good for about 5 days as long as they stay covered in an airtight container.
Can I Freeze these S’mores Brownies?
If you want to make the brownies and freeze them, you can definitely do this! My recommendation would be to make the brownie base and freeze the entire thing.
Then, when it becomes time to eat the brownies, remove them from the oven and let them thaw. Then, add the s’mores toppings to them and broil the marshmallows in the oven.
This will lead to the freshest brownies possible! Now if you’re into brownies, be sure to try Matcha brownies that you can enjoy too for another fun twist on this traditional dessert
