To make S'mores stuffed brownie cups, you need a few simple ingredients. Each part of the recipe plays a key role in creating that gooey, delicious treat. Here’s what you’ll need: - Brownie mix and wet ingredients - 1 box of brownie mix (plus ingredients from the box, usually water, oil, and eggs) - S'mores filling components - 1 cup mini marshmallows - 1 cup chocolate chips (milk or dark) - 1 cup graham cracker crumbs - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted - 1/4 cup brown sugar - 1/4 teaspoon salt - Optional toppings - Additional mini marshmallows and chocolate for topping (optional) Using these ingredients, you create layers of flavor and texture. The brownie mix gives a rich base, while the marshmallows and chocolate chips add that classic s'mores taste. The graham cracker crumbs form a tasty crust, making each bite a delightful mix of chewy and crunchy. For a little extra sweetness, consider adding those optional toppings. They create a lovely, toasted finish when you pop the cups back in the oven for a moment. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step helps the brownies bake evenly. Next, grease a muffin tin or line it with cupcake liners. This keeps your brownie cups from sticking. To make the crust, mix together the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and salt in a bowl. Stir until the mixture is well combined. If it feels too dry, add a bit more melted butter. Now, form the cups. Press about 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mix into the bottom of each muffin cup. Use your fingers or a spoon to create a flat layer. Next, prepare the brownie batter. In a separate bowl, follow the package instructions for your brownie mix. Combine the mix with water, oil, and eggs. Stir gently until just blended. Now, fill the cups. Pour the brownie batter into each muffin cup, filling them about 2/3 full. This allows room for the toppings. Add the s'mores filling next. Place mini marshmallows and a few chocolate chips on top of the brownie batter in each cup. Then, cover them with a bit more brownie batter to fill them close to the top. For baking, place the muffin tin in the oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness. It should come out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter. After baking, remove the tin from the oven. Quickly top with extra mini marshmallows and chocolate pieces if you like. Return them to the oven for 1-2 minutes. This will toast the marshmallows slightly. Let the brownie cups cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. You can find the Full Recipe for more details. Enjoy your delicious treats! To get the perfect brownie texture, focus on mixing. Mix the brownie batter just until combined. If you mix too much, the brownies can become tough. Keep it light and fluffy. Preventing overflow is key. Fill each muffin cup only about two-thirds full. This gives the brownies room to rise. If you pour too much, they will spill over and create a mess. I love serving these brownie cups warm. The gooey marshmallows and melty chocolate taste amazing. At room temperature, they still taste great but lose some of that warmth. Pairing with ice cream or whipped cream adds an extra touch. The cold ice cream contrasts with the warm brownie. Whipped cream adds a light, fluffy texture. Both options make every bite even better. Overmixing the brownie batter is a common mistake. It can lead to dense brownies. Mix just enough to combine ingredients. This keeps them soft and chewy. Not greasing the muffin tin properly can ruin your treat. Use cooking spray or butter to coat each cup well. This helps the brownie cups slide out easily after baking. Following these tips will make your s'mores stuffed brownie cups a hit! {{image_2}} You can use different types of chocolate in these brownie cups. Milk chocolate gives a sweet taste. It melts nicely and makes the dessert creamy. Dark chocolate is richer and less sweet. It pairs well with the s'mores flavors. You can also try flavored chocolate. Options like caramel or orange chocolate add a fun twist. Each chocolate type changes the final taste. Experiment to find your favorite! If you need a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free brownie mix. Many brands taste great and cook well. Just make sure to check the label. For those who want a vegan treat, swap eggs for applesauce or flaxseed. You can use plant-based butter too. These changes let everyone enjoy these brownie cups without worry. Dietary needs should never limit fun desserts! You can get creative with add-ins. Try mixing in nuts like walnuts or pecans for crunch. Peanut butter adds a tasty, nutty flavor. You can also switch the filling. Instead of marshmallows, use caramel or hazelnut spread. These choices make each batch unique. Each twist gives a new flavor adventure. Let your imagination lead the way! For the full recipe, check the detailed instructions above. S'mores stuffed brownie cups taste best fresh. However, you can store them easily. - Room temperature: Keep them in an airtight container. They stay fresh for about 3 days. - Refrigeration: If you prefer, you can place them in the fridge. This helps them last longer. However, they may lose some softness. For freezing, wrap each brownie cup in plastic wrap. Then, place them in a freezer bag. They can last up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw them in the fridge overnight. - Shelf life at room temperature: Brownie cups stay good for about 3 days. Make sure to check for any signs of spoilage. - Expected refrigeration times: In the fridge, they can last up to a week. They may become firmer, so let them warm up a bit before eating. These storage tips help you keep your s'mores stuffed brownie cups tasty and enjoyable! You can check the brownie cups using the toothpick method. Insert a toothpick into the center of a cup. If it comes out with moist crumbs, the cups are ready. If it has wet batter, they need more time. Bake for 18-20 minutes total. Always check around the 18-minute mark to avoid overbaking. Yes, you can make these brownie cups ahead of time. To prepare in advance, bake the brownie cups and let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to a month. Reheat them in the oven for a few minutes before serving. You can use several options instead of graham cracker crumbs. Some great alternatives include crushed cookies like digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers. You can also use crushed cereal for a different crunch. For a homemade crust, mix equal parts of flour and oats with some sugar and butter. This will give you a tasty and unique base for your brownie cups.

Ingredients
  

1 box of brownie mix (plus ingredients required on the box, usually water, oil, and eggs)

1 cup chocolate chips (milk or dark)

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

Additional mini marshmallows and chocolate for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with cupcake liners for easy removal.

    Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and salt until well combined. If the mixture is too crumbly, add a bit more melted butter as needed.

      Form the Cups: Press about 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup to form a crust. Use a spoon or your fingers to create an even layer.

        Make the Brownie Batter: In a separate bowl, prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions (usually combining the brownie mix with water, oil, and eggs). Stir until just blended.

          Fill the Cups: Pour the brownie batter into each muffin cup, filling them about 2/3 full.

            Add the S'mores Filling: Add a layer of mini marshmallows and a few chocolate chips on top of the brownie batter in each cup, then cover with a bit more brownie batter to fill them close to the top (about 3/4 full).

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).

                Add Toppings: Remove from the oven and immediately top with additional mini marshmallows and chocolate pieces, if desired. Put back in the oven for an additional 1-2 minutes until the marshmallows are slightly toasted.

                  Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie cups to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
