These S’mores Brownies are what happens when a campfire favorite meets a fudgy, chocolate-loaded dessert. With layers of graham crackers, gooey brownies, and toasted marshmallows, they’re easy to make and even easier to disappear.

S’mores have clearly become a bit of a thing around here. Between my Mini S’more Pies, S’mores Cookies, S’mores Dip, and S’mores Pops, it’s safe to say I’m not running out of ways to keep that chocolate-marshmallow combo going anytime soon.

What You’ll Need

  • Brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
  • Graham crackers
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Chocolate candy bar
brownie batter in a glass bowl for brownies
Graham crackers in a square cake pan
brownie batter in a square metal pan
s’mores brownies in baking pan topped with toasted mini marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate pieces
pan of brownies with one serving removed

How to Make S’mores Brownies

1. Prep the pan & batter
Grease or line an 8×8 pan and prepare the brownie mix according to the package.
2. Build the base
Arrange graham crackers in the bottom of the pan, then pour the brownie batter over the top.

3. Bake
Bake just until set in the center—slightly underbaked is perfect.

4. Add topping & broil
Top with marshmallows and graham cracker pieces, then broil until marshmallows are golden and puffy (watch closely!).

5. Finish & cool
Sprinkle chopped chocolate over the warm brownies so it melts, then let cool before slicing.

Cetcu tip: Spray your knife lightly before slicing to keep the marshmallow from sticking.

Tips for the Best S’mores Brownies

  • Use a metal pan → it bakes more evenly and prevents overbaked edges
  • Don’t overbake → fudgy is what you want
  • Mini marshmallows melt and toast more evenly
  • Keep a close eye under the broiler—it happens fast

Cetcu tip: Turn on the oven light and stay close—this is not the moment to walk away.

Storage

Store brownies in an airtight container:

  • Room temperature: 3–4 days
  • Refrigerator: up to 5–6 days

Freezing

Wrap individually or separate layers with parchment so they don’t stick.
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different brownie mix?

Yes—any brand will work, just stick with an 18-ounce box for best results.

Do I have to use the chocolate bar?

No, but it adds an extra layer of melty chocolate that really takes these over the top.

Can I use a glass baking dish?

You can, but a metal pan is best. Glass holds heat longer and can lead to overbaked edges, so you may need to adjust the bake time slightly.

Why are my brownies sticking when I cut them?

Make sure they’re fully cooled before slicing, and lightly spray your knife for cleaner cuts.

Final Thoughts

These S’mores Brownies bring all the nostalgia of a campfire treat into an easy, bake-and-share dessert. Rich, gooey, and layered with texture, they’re the kind of recipe people ask for after one bite.

    5. Bake for 33-35 minutes.
    6. Remove the brownies (they won’t be done baking yet) and turn the oven to broil.
