S'more Brownies


I can't think about s'mores without remembering the line from The Sandlot "You wanna s'more? Some more of what?" I haven't got anything yet" Classic...

I've seen several different variations of this concept, but this particular recipe comes from Real Mom Kichen. They are certainly delicious, but make sure you have a glass of milk close!

Note: My mom made these for us while we were in AZ and put the graham crackers on the top after the brownies baked. I preferred them this way since the graham crackers stayed crisp, but then again, we were in AZ and there was no humidity. :)

8-10 graham crackers
1 box fudge brownie mix (Betty Crocker; 1/4 c. water, 2/3 c. oil, 2 eggs)
3 cups miniature marshmallows
2/3 cup chopped peanuts (optional, I used almonds)
1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips (semi-sweet)

Place graham crackers in a single layer on the bottom of a foil-lined and greased 9x13 pan. A couple of the graham crackers will need to be cut to fit and cover the bottom of the pan. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions, then pour the batter over the graham crackers. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven and top with the marshmallows and chocolate chips. Return the pan to the oven for 3 more minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with nuts inf desired. Cool before cutting into squares.
