It's that time of year when grocery stores have a special display just for S'mores ingredients - I've even seen Reese's Peanut Butter Cups on those displays and wondered how those would taste in a S'more. Amazing, I'm sure! My sister spreads Nutella on graham crackers (instead of chocolate bars) before adding the toasted marshmallows, and they are totally yummy.
This past weekend, we went camping and boating with a bunch of friends, and I actually made it the whole weekend without having a single S'more--something about being in the sun all day that really zaps my energy and appetite.
To save time, (since I also have a mountain of laundry needing to be washed clean of campfire smoke), I used a boxed brownie mix, but you can certainly use your favorite brownie recipe if you prefer to not use a mix. Since I added so many gooey melty items to the brownies, I added an extra egg to the brownie batter so that it would hold up better while baking with melting chocolate and marshmallows. You can use any kind of chocolate you like; I used a variety of Hershey's Special Dark and Milk Chocolate with Almonds.
Gooey S'mores Brownies
- 1 box Brownie Mix
- 15 graham crackers
- 15 marshmallows
- 6 chocolate bars, roughly chopped (about 2 cups)
Make brownie batter according to the box's instructions and set aside.
Cut the marshmallows in half; the easiest way to cut them is with a sharp, clean pair of kitchen scissors. Arrange half of the marshmallow halves on the graham crackers.
Pour half of the brownie batter evenly over the graham crackers and marshmallows, then sprinkle with 3/4 cup of the chopped chocolate. Repeat above steps to build a second layer with remaining graham crackers, marshmallows, brownie batter and chocolate, reserving 1 graham cracker and 1/2 cup of the chopped chocolate for later.
Bake at 325 for 35 minutes, or until center appears to be set. Remove from oven, top with remaining chopped chocolate, and crush the remaining graham cracker over the top. Cool completely before serving... that is, if you can wait!
Looks amazing! Just pinned to Pinterest!

Thanks, Amy! :)
ReplyDeleteJust when I thought brownies could not get any better. I must try this!
ReplyDeleteMom, try it with more layers--double the brownie mix and another layer of all the good stuff--it would probably be even better!
