how to serve Fudgy S’mores Brownies
Once your brownies are baked and topped with marshmallow, allow them to cool slightly. Cut them into squares and serve warm for the best experience. You can serve these brownies with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs for extra flair.
how to store Fudgy S’mores Brownies
To keep your brownies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you’d like to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. For best results, reheat each serving in the microwave for a few seconds to restore their gooey texture.
tips to make Fudgy S’mores Brownies
- Ensure your butter is melted but not hot, as this can affect the texture of the brownies.
- For an extra chocolaty flavor, use a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips in the batter.
- If you want crisper edges, line your baking dish with parchment paper.
variation
If you want to switch things up, consider adding peanut butter chips or nuts for added flavor and texture. You can also substitute the graham crackers with chocolate cookies for a more intense chocolate flavor.
