Ingredients
  

For the Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs about 10 full sheets, crushed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Brownie Layer:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup chocolate chips optional, for extra fudginess
  • Or substitute with a boxed brownie mix, following the package instructions.
  • For the Marshmallow Topping:
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows or 1 cup marshmallow fluff

Equipment Needed:

  • 8 x8-inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk & spatula
  • Oven & optional kitchen torch

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Pan

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease an 8x8-inch pan and line it with parchment paper, ensuring the edges extend beyond the sides for easy lifting.

Step 2: Make the Graham Cracker Crust

  • In a bowl, mix 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, 6 tablespoons melted butter, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until the texture is like wet sand.
  • Firmly pack the graham cracker mixture into the pan, pressing it down evenly to create a solid base.
  • Prebake for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it rest while you prepare the brownie layer.

Step 3: Make the Brownie Batter (Skip this if using a boxed mix and follow package instructions.)

  • In a large bowl, whisk ½ cup melted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth.

Add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.

  • Sift in ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon baking powder. Stir until just combined.
  • For extra fudgy brownies, fold in ½ cup chocolate chips.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

  • Pour the brownie batter over the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Remove the brownies from the oven, but keep the oven on.

Step 5: Add the Marshmallows and Toast

  • Sprinkle 2 cups mini marshmallows evenly over the top of the brownies.
  • Return the pan to the oven for 2–3 minutes, just until the marshmallows puff up and start to brown.
  • For a more toasted effect, use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the marshmallows until golden brown.

Step 6: Cool and Slice

  • Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes to set.
  • Lift them out using the parchment paper overhang, then cut into squares.
