Ingredients

Brownie Recipe

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulate sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips + 2 tbsp
  • 1 tbs espresso or strongly brewed coffee

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 8-10 sheets of graham crackers
  • 5-6 tbsps unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Graham Cracker Crust

  • For the crust, preheat the oven to 350. Either place graham crackers in a food processor and blend or place the crackers in a ziplock bag and roll with a rolling pin until the crackers break down to fine crumbs.
  • Add the cracker crumbs to a boil with the melted butter, sugar, salt, and toss together. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the 8x8-inch pan using the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to make an even, compact layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes and allow to cool. 

Brownies

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (163°C).
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until combined and glossy.
  • Add vanilla. Let the mixture cool slightly (you don't want to scramble the eggs), then whisk in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each. The batter should be shiny and thick.
  • Stir in the flour just until no streaks remain—don’t overmix.
  • Fold in chocolate chips or chunks for extra richness.
  • Pour the batter into your graham cracker crust and spread evenly. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to settle it.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, remove the brownies and add your marshmallows on top of the brownies. Bake an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  • You can also torch your marshmallows with a kitchen torch if you like them slightly burnt and toasted. Setting your oven to high broil for a few minutes with toast them as well if you don’t have a torch.
  • Let cool in the pan for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing. For clean cuts, cool completely and chill briefly before cutting.
