S’mores Blondies FAQs
Yes! You can bake the blondies in advance and add the marshmallow topping just before serving for the best texture and presentation.
Chocolate chips are convenient, but you can also use chocolate chunks or dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
The edges should be golden and the center set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Overmixing the batter or overbaking can lead to dry blondies. Mix just until combined and keep a close eye on baking time.
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Absolutely. Freeze the blondie base without the marshmallow topping. When ready to serve, thaw, add marshmallows, and reheat briefly.
Warm in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to bring back the gooey chocolate and soft texture.

I baked these and they were so good. Gooey, sweet, and full of chocolate and marshmallow!
The graham cracker base stayed firm, and the toasted marshmallow on top added a good texture to the chewy blondie.
