...I heart S'mores!

Who wouldn't like THIS chocolatey marshmallowey graham-crackerey goodness??? A few years back I was on a S'more's kick at work and ate at least one a day for over a month. Last week, I saw a new Hershey's commercial that had people making (and eating) S'mores. The craving came back. Let's just say I might have made these brownies twice already since Thursday.  Heh. (recipe from cookiemadness)

S'mores Brownies
  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons melted butter
  • 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose white flour
  • 2 cups marshmallows
**UPDATE** My friend Sarah said she made this with Ghirardelli chocolate brownie mix that called for an 8x8 pan and it worked FABULOUSLY! Yay for recipe shortcuts!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 inch square metal pan with Release foil or parchment paper.

Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the sugar and melted butter. Press into bottom of lined pan and bake for 8 minutes.

Prepare browies. Melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave, a double boiler or heavy saucepan. Set aside to cool for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and sugar until light. Whisk in the vanilla, then whisk in the salt and baking powder. Add the melted chocolate to the egg mixture and stir until mixed. Add flour and stir until mixed. Do not overbeat, just stir until it’s absorbed. Pour the brownie mixture over the graham crust. Return to oven and bake for 22-26 minutes or until set.

Remove from oven and sprinkle marshmallows over top in one generous layer. Set oven’s broiler heat to high and return pan to oven. Broil for 1 minute or until golden. Keep a close eye, because marshmallows brown quickly!

Let cool on a rack. When cool, lift from pan and cut into 9 big squares. Spraying non-stick cooking spray on the knife helps keep the marshmallow goo from sticking to it.

Makes 9 large brownies (or 16 small ones).
