- Top brownies with leftover marshmallows and put under broiler until starting to brown. Pull from oven, top with chocolate chips, and set under broiler for another minute. Slice the brownies into bars..
Substitutions
Missing some of these ingredients? We have a couple substitutions that might help you out:
- Graham Cracker Crumbs – We’ve already covered crushing graham crackers by hand if you don’t have any on hand. If you don’t have graham crackers, check your cereal cabinet. You can also make these Brownies with Golden Grahams or Golden Crisp cereal if you’re in a pinch!
- Chocolate Chips – If you’re out of chocolate chips, you could use any sort of chocolate you have on hand. Just chop the chocolate down into bite-sized pieces and use just like you would use chocolate chips. You also don’t need a whole cup of chocolate chips if you’re low on them- they’re a topping and if you only have half a cup, it should still work out.
- Brownie Mix – You can use any variety store-bought mix. But, you can consider using your favorite homemade brownie recipe too! I have shared my favorite homemade brownie recipe that you can try too!
- Marshmallows – If you happen to be short on mini marshmallows, you could use marshmallow fluff to make the crust.
Variations
There’s also a couple other ways you can change things up with this recipe:
- Chocolate Chips – There’s all sorts of different chocolate chip flavors out there to pick from: white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, et cetera. Mix things up and try using a darker or a sweeter flavor the next time you make these S’mores Brownies up!
- Brownie Mix – You can also use a few tricks to make the brownie mix you’re using taste even better. You can sub out water for milk, half-and-half, or heavy cream, add in some extra flavor or extracts, or add an extra egg to make your brownies a little more cake-y.
Storage
For storing the finished S’more Brownie, we’d recommend transferring to an airtight container or bag and putting in them in the fridge. You could also wrap them in plastic wrap. Please try to enjoy within 5 days. For reheating, either warm back up in the oven or toss it into the microwave briefly.
Top tip
We really recommend using nonstick cookware where necessary and using parchment in your baking pan to prevent the marshmallows from sticking to things. If you’re still concerned about the marshmallows, consider greasing your pan with something like shortening or non-cooking spray in addition to using the overhang parchment trick for easy removal and cleanup..
