S MORES BROWNIES

Category: Brownies/Blondies

Crust
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (6 whole graham crackers)
1 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Brownies
3 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
8 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into chunks
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup flour

Marshmallow Topping
2 cups mini-marshmallows

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350. Line 8-inch baking dish with foil and coat foil with cooking spray.

For the Crust: With fingers, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in bowl until evenly moistened. Firmly pat crumbs into prepared pan and bake until firm and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven and set aside.

For the Brownies: While crust is baking, melt chocolate and butter in small bowl in microwave or in heatproof bowl set over pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally to combine. Cool mixture for several minutes.

Whisk sugar, baking powder, salt, eggs, and vanilla together in medium bowl until combined, about 15 seconds. Whisk in chocolate mixture until smooth. Stir in flour until no streaks of flour remain. Scrape batter evenly over crust and gently push batter into corners to cover crust.

Bake until toothpick inserted halfway between edge and center of pan (being careful not to insert toothpick into crumb crust) comes out clean, 22 to 27 minutes. Remove pan from oven and turn oven to broil.

For the Marshmallow Topping: Sprinkle brownies evenly with single layer of marshmallows. Return pan with brownies to oven and broil until marshmallows are lightly browned, 1 to 3 minutes. (Watch oven constantly. Marshmallows will melt slightly but should hold their shape.) Immediately remove pan from oven. Cool brownies on wire rack to room temperature, about 2 hours.

Coat knife with cooking spray to prevent the marshmallows from sticking. Using foil, lift brownies from pan to cutting board. Slide foil out from under brownies and cut brownies into 2-inch squares.
