Dessert Mashup: S'mores Brownies


Nothing says summer like S'mores. Synonymous with camping, the tasty treat featuring graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate is traditionally cooked over a fire on a stick.



But this version  uses the oven, baby. And there is a layer of brownie in between the graham cracker and the marshmallow and chocolate chips. Amazing.

The best part is you don't have to actually sleep in a tent in a forest surrounded by creatures. Yay. But if that's how you roll, go for it, doll.

My pro-tips for this dish: Keep a watchful eye on your broiler. It can go to hell really fast when a broiler is involved. Let these cool for a long time before cutting into them. Be sure to check the bottoms of your treats for foil. And make sure you spray every inch of the foil with the cooking spray so that the brownies come off the foil nicely.

Makes 30 brownies

Nonstick cooking spray
9 broken in half (18 pieces) whole graham crackers, divided
1 package (18.3 oz.) traditional 13 x 9-inch chewy fudge brownie mix
1/4 cup water
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) Nestle Toll House semi-sweet chocolate morsels, divided
2 cups miniature marshmallows

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Line 13 by 9-inch metal baking pan with foil leaving an overhand on two sides. Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray.

Place 15 graham cracker halves onto bottom of pan overlapping slightly. Break remaining graham cracker halves into 1/2-inch pieces; set aside.

Combine brownie mix, water, oil and eggs in medium bowl until blended. Stir in 1 cup morsels. Spread over graham crackers in pan.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted into center comes out still slightly sticky; remove from oven.

Preheat broiler.

Sprinkle remaining graham cracker pieces and marshmallows over warm brownies. Broil for 30 to 45 seconds or until marshmallows are light brown. Watch carefully as browning occurs very fast! A handheld kitchen butane torch can be used as well. Remove from oven to wire rack. Sprinkle immediately with remaining 1 cup morsels.



Cool for at least 1 hour at room temperature. Lift out by foil edges to cutting board. Carefully remove foil. Cut into bars with wet knife. Store in tightly covered container.
