Step-by-Step Guide to the Best s’mores brookies

Tools You’ll Need

• Jumbo muffin pan
• Large mixing bowl
• Spatula
• Oven
• Baking spoon or #16 scoop
• Muffin tin
• Butter knife

Step 1: Preparation for the s’mores brookies

• 1 box brownie mix, prepared per package instructions (Betty Crocker 18.3 oz Fudge Brownie Mix recommended)
• 1 package chocolate chip cookie mix, prepared per package instructions (Betty Crocker 17.5 oz Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix recommended)
• ½ cup coarsely chopped graham crackers
• ½ cup mini marshmallows
• 2 Hershey bars, coarsely chopped
• Optional toppings: vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, extra chopped chocolate, and crushed graham crackers

Step 2: Cooking the s’mores brookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the jumbo muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure nothing sticks. In a large bowl, prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Once mixed, gently fold in ¼ cup of graham crackers, ¼ cup of mini marshmallows, and half of the chopped Hershey bars. This combination captures the essence of the beloved s’mores bar.

Next, divide the brownie mixture evenly into the 12 muffin cups, using a #16 scoop for equal portions. In another bowl, prepare the chocolate chip cookie dough according to its package directions. Then take small pieces of cookie dough and place them on top of the brownie batter in each muffin cup. Ensure the dough pieces are thin and scattered to avoid clumping.

Step 3: Assembling and Finishing

Bake your creations for about 25 minutes. Check with a toothpick when it comes out clean, your brookies are ready. After baking, let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes. To create the signature bowl shape, gently press down the top of each brookie with the bottom of a small glass or an inverted muffin tin.

Top each brookie bowl with extra graham crackers and mini marshmallows and broil them for 2-3 minutes until the marshmallows are golden brown. Remove your baked creations from the oven and place a few chocolate pieces on top while still warm. Run a butter knife around the edge of each brookie to release them from the muffin tin. Serve the brookies warm, or let them cool completely on a wire rack and store them in a Ziploc bag for future snacking.
