S’mores Brownies

As I’ve said before, S’mores are one of my favourite treats that come around summer time.  They seem like the epitome of relaxation, and carefree times.  For me, this summer was NOT relaxing or carefree, but I still managed to fit in some time in front of the campfire (in the backyard, but hey, whatever works, right?)

Having two (or….three) in front of the campfire one night, just didnt seem to be enough time for my relationship with S’mores.  Therefore, in order to keep the love burning I found this recipe to make.  It was originally posted on How Sweet It Is, and I had resisted the first time it appeared in my mailbox. . . but that devil on my should kept telling me to make it!

So I gave in to temptation.

And I made them.  And they were worth it.  Every single crumb.

You can follow Jessica’s directions on her beautiful site 🙂  I followed her tips and recipe.

First up, graham cracker crust . . . melted butter, sugar and graham cracker crumbs.

Then for the brownie layer!

This recipe is one from my collection, so I will add it for you below.

When the brownie mix is finished, it’s time to pour it onto the graham cracker crust!

Bake, bake, bake, and voila! You have a yummy brownie layer.

Now for the fun part!  I used JUMBO marshmallows for this recipe.  The orgingal on calls for the large ones, but I have been dying to use these marshmallows in something!

They “poofed” up like buns in the oven.  And got HUGE!

YUM!  The whole kitchen smelled like toasted marshmallows . . . it was one smell from baking that I was glad to have as a perfume 🙂

Aren’t my two helpers the cutest!  Big sister was my photographer for this post, and little sister was my gopher and cupcake pan mover.  Thanks girls!
