S’mores Brownies

Everything that’s right in a s’more, intensified.  You end up with a buttery crust of graham crackers, ooey gooey chocolate brownie, and a toasted marshmellow in each serving.

Yield: 9 large brownies; Prep Time: 20 minutes; Cook Time: 35 minutes

crust ingredients

  • 22 sheets graham crackers (4 rectangles = 1 sheet)
  • 12 Tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

brownie ingredients

  • 2 squares Baker’s unsweetened chocolate
  • 6 Tbsp butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg and 1 egg white
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 9 marshmallows

instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350*.
  2. Place graham crackers in a large freezer baggie and bang at them like crazy with a rolling pin or sturdy plastic cup.  A few chunks are ok, but overall you want crumbs.  Add 1/4 cup sugar to the bag and shake to combine.
  3. Place 8 Tbsp of butter in an 8×8 inch baking dish.  Microwave until completely melted.
  4. Pour crumbs into butter and stir until all of the crumbs are wet.  Press the mixture into the bottom of the baking dish with a fork.  Set aside.
  5. Place baking chocolate and 6 Tbsp butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted.
  6. Stir 1 cup sugar into chocolate-butter mixture.  Set aside and allow bowl to cool for 3-5 minutes so you don’t’ scramble your eggs.
  7. Stir in eggs and vanilla extract.
  8. Fold in flour.  Then fold in chocolate chips.
  9. Carefully pour batter over graham cracker crust, using a spatula to spread to the edges of the pan.
  10. 10. Imagine drawing a 3×3 grid over the top of the pan, dividing it into 9 sections.  Place a marshmallow horizontally into the batter in the middle of each square (i.e. the center of each brownie).
  11. Bake for 35 minutes.  Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan.
