S’mores Brownies

I also made these s’mores brownies for our party. I found them on Joy the Baker. These brownies are out of this world! Perfect for a summer treat when you don’t have a campfire nearby. These are so decadent and I love the little crunch from the graham crackers. They are fudgy, which is my favorite kind of brownie. Be sure and have your glass of milk ready.

S’mores Brownies
Source: Joy the Baker adapted from Bon Appetit, October 1991

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
5 large eggs
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup graham cracker, roughly crushed with your hands
12 big marshmallows
Optional: diced 4 additional marshmallows and stirred them into the batter. These marshmallows dissolve when baked, so you can leave them out, or throw them in.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 9×13-inch baking pan with 2-inch-high sides. Combine first 3 ingredients in small bowl. Stir butter and chocolate in a medium sized bowl over a heavy saucepan of simmering water. Stir chocolate and butter in this double boiler until melted and smooth.

Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla in large bowl to blend. Stir in warm chocolate mixture, then dry ingredients. Fold in graham crackers. Pour batter into prepared pan. Dot with 12 large marshmallows. Bake until toothpick inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 30- 40 minutes minutes.

Marshmallows will be browned and puffy but will deflate as the brownies cool. Cool for at least 20 minutes than slice with a sharp knife, cleaning the knife with hot water if it gets too messy and sticky. Serve or wrap individually in wax paper for storing.

    YUM! I was trying to think of something to take to a friends for a BBQ on Sunday since I offered to bring a dessert and these will be perfect. Delicious but easy enough for the drunkies that’ll be there to eat without dropping, using utensils, etc.

    Yours look great! I made these, and they were much more cakelike than fudgy..I wonder why? I used a convection oven, so maybe that would be the difference. Did you bake less than recommended time?

    Cara-I’m not sure why yours were more cakey. I baked mine for the entire recommended time. Cakey browies are great too though!
