Brownie S'mores

Call this my brownie phase. I also just made Nutella brownies. I'll post that one next. But in the meantime, these s'mores brownies are really good and fun to make too!

Brownie S’mores

Chocolate Sauce:

1 stick unsalted butter or magarine

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

½ cup light corn syrup

¼ teaspoon distilled white vinegar

Bring all ingredients to a boil with a pinch of salt in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat, whisking until smooth.  Set aside.

Crust:

5 Tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine, melted, plus additional for greasing

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (approx. 10 graham crackers)

2 heaping Tablespoons sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line 8 x 8 glass dish with enough aluminum foil to hang over the sides.  Grease the aluminum foil with butter/marg.

Stir all ingredients in a bowl and press evenly on the bottom of the dish.

Bake until crisp, approx 15 minutes. Cool on a rack.

Brownie Layer:

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

½ cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted

½ cup flour

1/3 cup cocoa powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup white chocolate chips

Beat eggs in a small mixing bowl.  Blend in the sugar and melted butter.

Combine the flour, cocoa and salt and add to the butter mixture.  Stir in the vanilla and chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the pan (over the crust) and bake until the center is just set, 25-30 minutes. 

Marshmallow Layer:

1/2 package large marshmallows sliced in half.

Arrange marshmallows, cut side down, on top of the brownies.

Broil 1-2 minutes, until the marshmallows are golden brown.  Watch carefully—marshmallows can burn quickly.

To Serve:

Remove s’mores brownies (after broiling the marshmallows) from the pan using the overhanging aluminum foil.  Place brownies on a cutting board and slice into squares.

Place each square on a plate.

Drizzle with warm chocolate sauce and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers.
