S'more Brownies

S'mores are one of the yummiest parts of summer.  They were all over the blogs this summer in every form imaginable- s'more cookies, s'more cookie bars, s'more brownies, s'more milkshakes, s'more cupcakes, s'mores on a stick, s'more anything.

I spotted these brownies over at Sugar Cooking and have been planning to make them all summer.  It's the Baked brownie base with broken graham pieces inside and marshmallows on top.  Perfection!  Gooey, fudgey and delicious.  Try these soon before summer's through.. or save them for a cool fall day with some ice cream.  And don't be surprised if you see a pumpkin s'more pop up on Oven Love in the near future..

S'more Brownies
(recipe by Sugar Cooking and Baked)
  • 1 batch of Baked Brownie batter* (or your favorite brownie recipe)
  • 1 cup graham crackers, roughly crushed with your hands
  • 12 big marshmallows (I used 15)
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.
  2. Prepare brownie batter.
  3. Mix in graham crackers
  4. Pour into prepared baking dish and dot with the marshmallows.
  5. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes.
  6. Marshmallows will be browned and puffy but will deflate as the brownies cool. Cool for at least 20 minutes than slice with a sharp knife, cleaning the knife with hot water if it gets too messy and sticky.

from Baked New Frontiers in Baking

Ingredients:

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 11 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 8 ounces butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
  • 1 ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray the sides and bottom of 9×13 baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt and cocoa powder together.
  3. Put the chocolate, butter and instant coffee in a large bowl and set it over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Turn off the heat, but keep the bowl over the water and add the sugars. Whisk until completely combined; then remove the bowl from the pan. The mixture should be room temperature.
  4. Add 3 eggs to the chocolate mixture and whisk until combined. Add the remaining eggs and whisk until combined. Add the vanilla and stir until combined. Do not overbeat the batter at this stage or your brownies will be cakey.
  5. Sprinkle the flour mixture over the chocolate mixture. Using a spatula, fold the flour mixture into the chocolate until just a bit of the flour mixture is visible.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake in the center of the oven for 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the baking time, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs sticking to it. Let the brownies cool completely, then cut them into squares and serve.
