Ingredients:
- For the Crust:
- 9 crushed graham crackers
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- For the Brownie Batter:
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate, melted
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Marshmallows for topping
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Combine 9 crushed graham crackers with 4 tablespoons of melted butter in a mixing bowl. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a lined baking pan. Preheat your oven and bake the crust at 350°F (175°C) for 12 minutes.
2. Mix the Brownie Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of melted salted butter with 1 cup of sugar until well combined. Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Stir in 1 cup of melted chocolate and 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth. Gradually fold in 3/4 cup of flour until just mixed.
3. Bake:
- Pour the brownie batter over the pre-baked crust. Return to the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Add Marshmallows:
- Remove the brownies from the oven and top with marshmallows. Place under the broiler until the marshmallows turn light brown and puffy. Watch closely to avoid burning.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before slicing. Serve with a garnish of additional crushed graham crackers if desired. Enjoy the delightful mix of textures and the rich, comforting flavors of these decadent s'mores brownies!
Enjoy!
