Quick & Easy

Here’s a quick and easy dessert you can make when that last minute invite comes through and you don’t want to go empty handed.

s'mores brownies

I’ve made similar brownies before but found this idea for the base on a blog recently.  (I apologize for not remembering which one.  Let me know if it was YOU and I’ll update my post with a link.)  The other blogger just layered graham cracker squares on the bottom instead of making a graham cracker crust.  Doesn’t get any easier. I like easy.

Quick & Easy S’mores Brownies

  • One box of your favorite brownie mix
  • One box of graham crackers
  • One bag of marshmallows

Grab desired pan and line with aluminum foil.  Once lined layer with graham crackers. Prepare your brownies according to the box directions and pour into pan.  Set timer for 5 minutes prior to the recommended bake time to allow for the addition of your marshmallows.  When the timer goes off quickly top brownies with marshmallows and put back into oven until marshmallows are puffy and browned, 5 minutes or so.  Once out of the oven I added more graham cracker squares to the top and allowed to cool.

Note:  You don’t need the whole box of graham crackers or bag of marshmallows.  Add as much or as little as desired. You could, if so desired make homemade brownies instead of a box mix and you could get even crazier and use homemade graham crackers and marshmallows.  I’m not that crazy.  :)

Hope everyone is enjoying their three day holiday weekend!    :)

I've seen similar s'mores brownies, but yours are by far the prettiest I've come across. I love the graham crackers on the bottom!

Delicious Dishings said...

Yum! I love the idea of just using graham crackers. I made some s'mores bars a while ago but made a graham cracker crumb crust. Either way, I'm sure they're fabulous! Happy Labor Day!

Kristen said...

I'll have too try this with the leftover s'more stuff from camping last week. Bet the kids would love it.

Mimi said...

I just love anything smores! This is so cute=) I saw almost the exact same recipe on My Baking Addiction, but she makes an actual graham cracker crust, not the just the crackers alone.

I'm officially in love.... this recipe looks insanely delicious!! I have a rocky road bar recipe that reminds me of this, but it's missing the delicious graham cracker that takes it to a whole new level! Thanks for the recipe!

Eliana said...

Hmmm - love treats that are easy peasy like this one. It looks like it would definitely hit the spot.

Val said...

I totally am going to make this and hide in a room alone....so the kiddies don't eat it all. lol

Barbara said...

That's a super idea, Ingrid. But I have no intention of taking this to someone else. I'm going to make it and eat it right at home. :) Smore, please!
