Ingredients
- 1 box (18.3 oz) brownie mix
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional for drizzle)
How to Make S’mores Brownie Bars
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until well combined, then pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and well combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the slightly cooled brownies, smoothing it out evenly.
- Sprinkle mini marshmallows on top of the cream cheese layer.
- In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle the mixture over the marshmallows.
- Bake the bars again for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown.
- While the bars are baking, melt the chocolate chips with the optional milk in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Once the bars are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing into squares.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother filling.
- Don’t overbake the brownies; they should be fudgy for the best texture.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the cream cheese mixture.
- Allow the bars to cool completely to make slicing easier.
Easy Variations
- Swap the mini marshmallows for caramel bits for a twist on flavor.
- Use peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips for a nutty taste.
- Add crushed nuts to the graham cracker topping for extra crunch.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing
- Fresh berries for a refreshing contrast
- A drizzle of caramel sauce for added sweetness
