Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. - Brown the Butter:
In a medium saucepan, melt the salted butter over medium heat, stirring frequently until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly. - Melt the Chocolate:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips with the browned butter. Stir until melted and smooth. - Mix the Batter:
Add cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and espresso powder to the chocolate mixture and mix well. Then, add granulated sugar and brown sugar, stirring until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, fold in the flour until just combined. - Prepare the Graham Cracker Layer:
Arrange a single layer of graham cracker squares at the bottom of your prepared baking pan. - Add the Brownie Batter:
Pour half of the brownie batter over the graham crackers and spread evenly. - Add Marshmallows:
Place half of the marshmallows over the brownie layer, then pour the remaining brownie batter on top. - Finish with Marshmallows:
Top with the remaining marshmallows, pressing them gently into the batter. - Bake:
Bake in preheated oven for about 28-30 minutes or until edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean but with some wetness. - Cool and Serve:
Allow brownies to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before lifting out using parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Tips & Notes
- For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding crushed graham crackers or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
- Letting brownies cool completely will help them set better for cleaner cuts.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
