Helpful tips for the best s'mores brownies

When you hear s'mores AND brownies in the same recipe, you know it's going to be good. We want to be sure you have the most perfect experience with these, so here are a few tips, tricks, and suggestions for making the perfect s'mores brownies every single time!

1. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting. Warm brownies can be difficult to cut to begin with. Add in melted chocolate and toasted marshmallow, and you've got a messy situation on your hands. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing to make it as easy as possible.

2. Use a broiler or mini kitchen torch to melt and brown those mallows. Using either one of these methods will not only melt the marshmallows, but will also give them a nice, toasty brown color/flavor on top.

3. Clean and grease your knife when cutting the brownies. I'm sure it's no shocker that marshmallows can be very sticky... so cutting these brownies can be a bit tricky. When cutting them, I like to wipe off my knife with a wet kitchen towel, and very lightly grease it after each cut. I have found that lightly greasing the knife helps prevent the marshmallow from sticking to the knife as much.

Ingredients

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour

• ½ cup cocoa powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon espresso powder

• ¼ teaspoon baking powder

• 1 ½ cup granulated sugar

• 2 eggs + 1 egg yolks

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

• ⅓ cup vegetable oil

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

• Graham Cracker Crust

• 6-7 graham crackers

• Top with

• 6oz milk chocolate, chopped (I like Hershey's for these brownies)

• 1 ½ -2 cups mini marshmallows

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x9 pan and line with parchment paper.
• Arrange 6-7 graham crackers pieces along the bottom of the greased/lined pan. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and espresso powder to the bowl. Mix together until everything is combined.
• In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolks, melted butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Pour into bowl with dry ingredients and whisk until there are no clumps and batter is glossy.
• Pour the brownie batter over the graham cracker-lined pan and bake for 32-34 minutes.
• Once the brownies are done baking, take them out of the oven. Sprinkle the milk chocolate evenly across the top of the brownies. Then, evenly sprinkle the mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate. Using either a mini kitchen torch or your oven's broiler, lightly toast the marshmallows until they're a nice, light golden brown color. Allow the brownies to cool completely.
• Once cool, remove from pan and slice with a large, sharp knife. Wipe clean after each cut to help prevent sticking.*
