FAQs

Can I use homemade brownie mix? Absolutely. Try this for extra richness.

What if I don’t have a broiler? Use your oven’s bake setting at a higher temp for a few extra minutes. Marshmallows will still toast—just less drama.

How do I store leftovers? Airtight container, room temp, up to 3 days. Warm before serving to revive the gooey glory.

Ingredients

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) box fudge brownie mix
  • 1 (1 pound) bag large marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. hot fudge sauce, warmed
  • 8 graham crackers

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 13x9-inch cake pan with cooking spray to ensure the brownies don’t stick.

Prepare the Brownie Batter

  • Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box to prepare the batter. Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.

Broil the Marshmallows

  • Once the brownies are baked, turn your oven to broil. Carefully place the large marshmallows over the brownies, ensuring they cover the surface. Leave the oven door slightly ajar and broil for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until the marshmallows turn golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.

Add the Fudge Sauce

  • Drizzle the warm hot fudge sauce generously over the toasted marshmallows. The gooey chocolate will seep into the brownies, enhancing their flavor.

Graham Crackers Galore

  • Take half of the graham crackers and break them into planks. Crush the remaining graham crackers into fine crumbs. Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the toasted marshmallows for added texture.

Finish with Grahams

  • Scatter the graham cracker planks randomly into the toasted marshmallows. This adds an extra crunch and visual appeal to your dessert.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve the brownies immediately while they’re still warm and gooey. They’re perfect as a stand-alone treat or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you’re craving more chocolatey indulgence, don’t miss our Fudge Espresso Ultimate Brownies—they’re rich, bold, and just a little bit dangerous.

Notes

  • Keep a close eye on the broiler—marshmallows go from golden to scorched in seconds.
  • Warm your fudge sauce slightly for easy drizzling.
  • Customize with flavored marshmallows, caramel drizzle, or even a peanut butter swirl.
