Can I use mini marshmallows?

Absolutely! But if you’re doing mini marshmallows make sure you place a bunch in so that you will achieve a gooier finish. We want this super yummy after all.

Can I make these brownies ahead of time?

Sure can! These brownies are great for any prep ahead need. You will have to bake them and once cooled down to room temp you just have to wrap them and enjoy whenever you are ready. But be sure to add the toppings when you’re ready to serve.

Can I store these in the fridge?

Yep! Keep the brownies in an airtight container, you are ready to enjoy. It should be about 3-4 days long but who keeps them around that long anyways

Can I add anything else to the brownies?

Oh YES! As I said above you can ALWAYS use add ins like: choclate chips, different type of chocolates, nuts. Let your imagination and flavor guide you on what would make these better in your taste

Why do they sometimes seem soggy on top?

Sometimes marshmallows can get a bit moist because of heat, but that is part of it so you do not have to worry too much but this also depends on humidity. For the most part if you take out your pan before the marshmellows get overly bubbly, you will be fine.

Instructions

Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Melt the Butter: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth. Remove from heat.
Add Sugar, Cocoa, and Salt: Whisk the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt into the melted butter. The mixture will be thick—perfect for brownies!
Mix in Vanilla and Eggs: Stir in the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add the Flour: Gradually add the flour and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes. Check for doneness around 25 minutes; the center should be slightly soft.
Prepare the Toppings: While the brownies are baking, break the graham crackers into small pieces.
Add Marshmallows: Once the brownies are out of the oven, immediately top them with marshmallows, covering the surface evenly.
Toast the Marshmallows: Place the pan under a low broiler for 1–2 minutes. Watch carefully and remove once the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted.
Add Graham Crackers: Sprinkle the graham cracker pieces over the toasted marshmallows.
Cool and Enjoy: Let the brownies cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy this gooey, chocolatey treat!

Notes

Use Quality Cocoa Powder: Opt for high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
Don’t Overmix: When adding the flour, mix until just combined to keep the brownies fudgy and tender.
Keep an Eye on the Broiler: Toasting marshmallows happens quickly! Stay close to the oven and watch carefully to prevent burning.
Line the Pan: Parchment paper makes it easy to lift the brownies out for clean slicing.
Cool Before Cutting: Let the brownies cool for at least 20 minutes to make slicing easier and avoid marshmallow mess.
Customize Toppings: Add chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or even peanut butter drizzle for an extra twist!
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
