S'mores Brownies

Ingredients

• 1.5 cup graham cracker crumbs (finely crushed)
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for the crust)
• 1 box brownie mix (or favorite scratch recipe; prepared as directed)
• 2 cup marshmallow topping (homemade marshmallow fluff or large marshmallows)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.

3. 3

   Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form an even layer.

4. 4

   Bake the crust for about 8-10 minutes until it is slightly golden and set.

5. 5

   While the crust is baking, prepare your favorite brownie batter according to the box instructions or your preferred scratch recipe.

6. 6

   Pour the brownie batter over the pre-baked graham cracker crust, spreading it to the edges.

7. 7

   Bake the brownies according to the recipe instructions (usually 25-35 minutes) until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

8. 8

   Remove the brownies from the oven and immediately top with the marshmallow topping or marshmallows.

9. 9

   Use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallow topping until it is golden brown and bubbly. If you do not have a torch, you can place the pan under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching very closely to prevent burning.

10. 10

    Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean layers.

Notes

The author mentions the specific marshmallow topping recipe is available on their blog. You can use store-bought marshmallow fluff or halved large marshmallows as a substitute. Ensure the crust is pressed firmly to prevent it from crumbling when sliced.
