Ingredients

For the Brownie Layer:

1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Marshmallow Layer:

2 cups marshmallow fluff or mini marshmallows

For the Caramel Drizzle:

1 cup caramel sauce

For the Graham Cracker Topping:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Prepare the Brownie Layer: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake the Brownie Layer: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Add the Marshmallow Layer: Spread the marshmallow fluff evenly over the slightly cooled brownie layer. If using mini marshmallows, sprinkle them evenly over the brownies and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the marshmallows are melted and golden brown.
Prepare the Graham Cracker Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Assemble the S’mores Brownie Bars: Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the marshmallow layer. Sprinkle the graham cracker topping over the caramel drizzle, pressing down gently to adhere.
Chill and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars from the dish and cut into squares. Serve and enjoy the delicious layers of chocolate, marshmallow, caramel, and graham cracker crunch.

These s’mores brownie bars are a delightful and indulgent treat that’s perfect for any dessert lover. Enjoy the rich and gooey layers that bring the classic s’mores flavors to a whole new level.
