Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed (100 g) brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • ¾ cup (75 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 12 large Peeps marshmallows
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers (about 8 full sheets)
  • 1 cup (180 g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and slightly glossy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the crushed graham crackers and chocolate chips carefully.
  7. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out evenly.
  8. Arrange the Peeps marshmallows evenly over the batter layer.
  9. Spread the remaining batter over the Peeps, gently covering them.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes until edges are set and slightly pulling away from the pan, and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  11. Cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack for at least one hour before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies chewy. Cool brownies completely before slicing to avoid gooey mess. For extra gooeyness, add extra chocolate chips on top before baking. Peeps provide a unique chewy texture and colorful appearance. Can substitute gluten-free flour and vegan ingredients for dietary needs.
