Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar (200g)
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113g)
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (85g)
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60g)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened or Dutch processed cocoa powder (40g)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 whole graham cracker sheets
- 1 graham cracker, roughly crushed
Topping Ingredients:
- 1–1.5 cups mini marshmallows (45-68g)
- 1 Hershey’s chocolate bar (1.55 ounces)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare an 8×8 metal pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring coverage of the bottom and two sides.
- Create a base layer by arranging whole graham crackers across the pan’s bottom, breaking pieces to fill any gaps for complete coverage.
- Melt butter and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, using 30-second intervals and stirring between each burst until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
- Incorporate sugar into the melted chocolate mixture, stirring until well combined. Microwave for an additional minute, then allow to cool for approximately 5 minutes if too hot.
- Vigorously beat eggs into the chocolate mixture for one minute until the batter forms smooth ribbons. Whisk in vanilla, cocoa powder, and salt until the mixture becomes glossy, then gently fold in flour until just incorporated.
- Pour the brownie batter over the graham cracker base, smoothing the top evenly. Bake for 25 minutes, creating a partially cooked foundation.
- Generously distribute mini marshmallows, crushed graham crackers, and chocolate bar pieces across the surface. Return to the oven for 8-10 minutes until marshmallows are golden and puffy.
- Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan for one hour. Use the parchment paper to lift the entire batch out, then slice into individual squares for serving.
Notes
- Cracker Coverage Ensure graham crackers are tightly packed without overlapping to create a solid, even base that won’t crumble when cutting brownies.
- Chocolate Melting Use low, consistent microwave heat and stir frequently to prevent chocolate from burning or seizing, creating a smooth, glossy mixture.
- Marshmallow Technique Spread marshmallows evenly and watch closely during final baking to achieve golden-brown tops without burning.
- Dietary Adaptations Swap graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives, use dairy-free chocolate, and replace eggs with flax eggs for vegan and gluten-sensitive versions.
