Summer of Love S'mores Brownies

Summer is all about S'mores and this summer is the 50th Anniversary of the Summer of Love! These Summer of Love S'mores Brownies are perfect for Fourth of July and the rest of the Summer. No additional ingredients necessary, but that's up to you! 

Summer of Love S'mores Brownies

Ingredients

Crust:

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs
• 2 Tbsp sugar
  
• Pinch fine salt

Brownies:

• 8 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (I use Madagascar vanilla)*
• 1/2 tsp fine salt
• 4 large cold eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

Topping:

• 4 cups large marshmallows

Directions

Position rack in lower third of oven and heat oven to 325 degrees F.
Line 8 by-8-inch square baking pan with foil so it hangs over the edges by about 1 inch.

For crust:
Lightly butter foil with some of melted butter. Stir rest of butter together with crumbs, sugar, and salt in medium bowl. Press crumb mixture evenly over bottom of pan. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Brownies:
Put butter and chocolate in medium microwave safe bowl. Melt in microwave on 75 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir, and microwave again until completely melted, about 2 minutes more. Alternatively, put butter and chocolate in heatproof bowl. Bring saucepan filled with 1 inch or so of water to very slow simmer; set bowl on pan without touching water. Stir occasionally until melted.
Stir light brown and white sugars, vanilla, and salt into melted chocolate. Add eggs and beat vigorously to make thick and glossy batter. Add flour and stir until just incorporated.
Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake until top is crispy and toothpick inserted into middle comes out mostly clean, with a few crumbs, about 40 to 45 minutes.
Remove from oven and carefully position rack about 6 inches from broiler and preheat on low.
Layer marshmallows across the top and toast under broiler until golden, (keep an eye on it, it can burn quickly), about 2 minutes. Or, use a small torch to brown the marshmallows.
Cool on rack, gently removing brownies from pan using aluminum flaps. Carefully separate any marshmallow from foil and fold away.
Cut into 12 (2-inch) squares.

S'mores Brownies

Here's a really easy and fast recipe for Smores Brownies from About.com. You don't need to be outdoors, either. What could be easier?

Ingredients:
1 box chocolate fudge brownie mix
1/3 cup water
3 eggs
3 Tbsp. canola oil
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 Tbsp. butter, melted
2 cups miniature marshmallows

Preparation:
Be careful when topping the brownies with the graham cracker mixture and the marshmallows. The sides of the pan will be hot!
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Beat brownie mix, water, eggs and oil together, about 50 strokes.
3. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 10 minutes.
4. Mix together graham cracker crumbs and butter. Sprinkle evenly over brownies. Return to oven and bake 10-15 more minutes, until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the side of the pan comes out nearly clean.
5. Turn on broiler or turn oven temperature up to broil. Sprinkle the marshmallows evenly over the brownies. Place brownies about 6 inches under the broiler, and toast marshmallows 1 to 2 minutes. Watch carefully! The marshmallows burn easily. Let cool 15 minutes before cutting.

You can add chocolate chips or pieces of chocolate into the brownie mix for extra chocolate!
