Brownie Base
- 18.3 oz box family size brownie mix (for a 13×9″ pan)
- 2 large eggs (or as instructed on box for cakey brownies)
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil (or as instructed on box)
- ⅓ cup water (or as instructed on box)
Toppings
- 6 graham crackers (cut or broken into bite-size pieces)
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 12 snack-size Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars (broken into squares)
- Prepare Brownie Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water according to the instructions on the box for cakey brownies. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Bake Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into a greased 13×9-inch baking pan. Bake the brownies at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but is not wet.
- Add S’mores Toppings: Remove the brownies from the oven while still slightly under-baked. Evenly sprinkle the graham cracker pieces and miniature marshmallows over the top, then scatter the broken Hershey’s chocolate squares on top of the marshmallows and graham crackers.
- Melt Toppings: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes at 350°F, or until the marshmallows have puffed up and the chocolate squares are melted.
- Cut the Brownies: For warm cutting, spray a knife with cooking spray and carefully cut the brownies into 5×4 rows (20 squares), spraying the knife in between cuts to prevent sticking. Alternatively, allow brownies to cool completely before cutting.
- Store: Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or foil and store brownies at room temperature for up to 3 days. Note that the graham crackers will soften over time in storage.
Notes
- Using the brownie mix as directed for ‘cakey’ brownies ensures the right texture for this recipe.
- Spraying the knife with cooking spray when cutting warm brownies helps to prevent sticking and uneven edges.
- Graham crackers soften upon storage; for crunchier texture, consume brownies within a day.
- Adjust marshmallow amount to preference for more or less gooeyness.
- You can substitute Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars with other milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate squares if preferred.
