Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 226 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ¼ cups (250 grams) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (165 grams) light brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup (85 grams) chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)
Topping Ingredients:
- 8–10 graham crackers, broken into large pieces
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
- 4 ounces (113 grams) milk chocolate, chopped (or ½ cup chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or applying a light coat of grease to prevent sticking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, vigorously whisk melted butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract into the sugar mixture, blending thoroughly to create a smooth, glossy base.
- In a separate bowl, carefully sift and whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring minimally to maintain a tender texture.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter, distributing them with a light folding motion to prevent overmixing.
- Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a uniform layer.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool slightly in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Elevate classic brownies by transforming them into a campfire-inspired dessert that combines rich chocolate with gooey marshmallow and graham cracker textures.
- Select high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for an intense, decadent brownie base that melts in your mouth.
- Prevent overmixing the batter to ensure a fudgy, tender brownie texture – stop stirring as soon as the dry ingredients are just incorporated.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond or gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, and use gluten-free graham crackers as a topping.
