Description

Craving a decadent dessert that combines the gooey goodness of s’mores with the crunch of Oreos? What if you could create a show-stopping brownie layered with graham crackers, marshmallows, and cookies in under an hour? Say hello to S’more Brownies with Oreos! This indulgent treat features a fudgy brownie base, a graham cracker crust, Mini Oreos, and toasted marshmallows, delivering a campfire-inspired dessert with a chocolatey twist.


Ingredients

For the Brownies

  • Brownie Mix (1 box, typically 18–20 oz): Provides a quick, fudgy base for the brownies; choose your favorite brand.

  • Ingredients for Brownie Mix (as per box instructions, typically eggs, oil, and water): Bind and moisten the brownie batter.

  • Graham Crackers (7–9 full sheets): Form a crunchy s’mores-inspired base.

  • Mini Oreos (8 oz, about 1 Snak-Sack): Add creamy, chocolatey crunch; full-sized Oreos can be used but require more space.

  • Flat S’more Marshmallows (20, such as Jet-Puffed S’moreMallows): Provide gooey texture and toast beautifully for s’mores flavor.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Brownie Mix: Use a fudge, dark chocolate, or gluten-free brownie mix; for homemade, combine 1 cup sugar, ½ cup flour, ⅓ cup cocoa, 2 eggs, ½ cup melted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla.

  • Graham Crackers: Substitute with digestive biscuits, shortbread cookies, or gluten-free graham crackers.

  • Mini Oreos: Use full-sized Oreos (about 12–15), Golden Oreos, or chocolate sandwich cookies; crush for easier layering if desired.

  • S’more Marshmallows: Replace with regular marshmallows (cut into thin pieces) or mini marshmallows (use 1½ cups for the inner layer, ½ cup for topping).

  • Vegan Option: Use a vegan brownie mix, vegan eggs (e.g., flax eggs: 1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water per egg), vegan Oreos (standard Oreos are vegan), and vegan marshmallows.

  • Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free brownie mix, gluten-free graham crackers, and ensure Oreos and marshmallows are gluten-free (use gluten-free sandwich cookies if needed).


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish:

    • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

    • Line a 9×13-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly spray with non-stick spray to secure the paper.

    • Tip: Use a glass dish for even baking, and ensure parchment covers the sides to prevent sticking.

  2. Prepare the Brownie Batter:

    • Prepare 1 box brownie mix according to package instructions (typically mixing with eggs, oil, and water) in a large mixing bowl, stirring until smooth, about 1–2 minutes.

    • Tip: Follow the box’s “fudgy” instructions for a denser texture, and mix until just combined to avoid tough brownies.

  3. Layer the Graham Crackers:

    • Lay 7–9 full graham cracker sheets in a single layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, breaking pieces to fit and cover as much surface as possible.

    • Tip: Arrange crackers tightly to form a solid base, and trim edges with a knife for a neat fit.

  4. Add the First Brownie Layer:

    • Using a spatula, spread about half of the brownie batter over the graham crackers, covering them as evenly as possible, about 1–2 minutes.

    • Tip: Spread gently to avoid shifting the crackers, and use an offset spatula for a smooth layer; reserve the remaining batter.

  5. Layer the Mini Oreos:

    • Place 8 oz Mini Oreos in a single layer over the brownie batter, arranging them closely to cover the surface, about 1 minute.

    • Tip: Press Oreos lightly to adhere to the batter, and use full-sized Oreos if preferred, spacing them evenly (about 12–15 cookies).

  6. Add the Marshmallow Layer:

    • Cut 20 flat s’more marshmallows (such as Jet-Puffed S’moreMallows) in half to create thinner pieces, yielding 40 halves.

    • Layer the marshmallow halves evenly over the Oreos, covering the cookies as much as possible, about 1–2 minutes.

    • Tip: Cut marshmallows with a greased knife to prevent sticking, and overlap slightly for a uniform layer.

  7. Cover with Remaining Batter:

    • Spread the remaining brownie batter over the marshmallows and around the sides of the Oreos, using a spatula to smooth it evenly, about 1–2 minutes.

    • Tip: Work gently to cover the marshmallows completely, and spread to the edges for a polished look; tap the dish to level the batter.

  8. Bake:

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

    • Check for doneness around 35 minutes, as ovens vary; the brownies should be slightly firm but fudgy.

    • Tip: Slightly overbake (45–48 minutes) for easier slicing, and cover with foil if the top browns too quickly.

  9. Add the Topping:

    • Remove the brownies from the oven and immediately top with the remaining marshmallow halves (from the 20 cut marshmallows, about 10–12 halves).

    • Place the dish under the broiler on high for 1–2 minutes, until the marshmallows are golden brown, watching closely to prevent burning.

    • Tip: Stay by the oven during broiling, as marshmallows burn quickly; rotate the dish if needed for even toasting.

  10. Cool and Slice:

    • Let the brownies cool completely in the dish on a wire rack, about 2 hours, to set and avoid a gooey mess when slicing.

    • Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out and transfer to a cutting board.

    • Slice into 12–16 squares (3×4 or 4×4 grid) using a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts for clean edges.

    • Serve at room temperature, optionally with ice cream or hot cocoa.

    • Tip: Run the knife under hot water for smoother cuts, and refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing if still too gooey.
