Adam's Smores Brownies

Adam's Smores Brownies

1 cup melted butter

3 cups granulated sugar

1 tbsp vanilla extract

4 eggs

1 1/2 cups flour

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

Topping:

16 oz mini marshmallows 

1 cup chocolate fudge topping

5 graham crackers

3/4 cup butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9x13 cake pan with pan spray. Melt butter in microwave. Blend butter, sugar, and vanilla in bowl with mixer until soft and creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each, until thoroughly blended. Sift flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda into wet mixture. Mix on low speed until dry ingredients are fully incorporated. (DO NOT OVER-MIX! - batter will be lumpy). Pour batter into pan, and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

Topping: In a pan, melt butter on low heat, then gradually add marshmallows, stir constantly until marshmallow/butter mixture is fully melted and free of lumps. 

Break apart graham crackers and place in food processor, process until finely grounded.

(To check when brownies are done - insert a tooth pick into the center mass of the brownies, if the toothpick comes out clean, the brownies are done.) 

Once brownies are cooled, pour melted marshmallow mixture over brownies, and gently spread marshmallow mixture over the surface of the brownies, until evenly coated. 

Place jar of fudge topping in microwave and heat for 30-45 seconds. Then with a fork, splatter chocolate fudge in even swoops back and forth over the marshmallow topped brownies, causing streamers of fudge. 

Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over brownies. Cut into 20 even slices and enjoy!
