S’more Brownie Bars

If you ask any Harchut sister what one of their favorite vacation spots is, we will always answer…CAMPLAND. Campland on the Bay is the perfect combination of actual camping and glamping. You stay in a trailer (or tent), have a fire pit, decorate with beer can lights, and cook good ole camping food, BUT, you also have hot showers and very clean restrooms! And there may be a cantina that serves delicious drinks right there on the campground but thats besides the point.

ANYWAY, every night we love sitting around the camp fire chatting, drinking, and making s’mores! Unfortunately, it’s been pretty chilly here in SoCal (70° is cold OK), so we brought the s’mores inside and boy oh boy they didn’t disappoint.

Ingredients

  1. Graham crackers
  2. Boxed brownie mix (we use Ghirardelli because it has delicious melty chocolate chips in it)
  3. 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  4. 1/3 cup melted butter
  5. 1/4 cup water
  6. 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  7. 1 egg
  8. Mini marshmallows

Directions

For the Graham Cracker Layer:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°
  2. Crush 12 sheets of graham crackers in a plastic bag until it has the constancy of sand.
  3. Pour crushed graham crackers in a bowl along with melted butter and granulated sugar.
  4. Stir to combine.
  5. Pour graham cracker mixture into the bottom of 9×9 baking dish. (I didn’t spray my glass baking dish and luckily didn’t have a problem getting the brownies out, but not a bad idea to spray it)
  6. Bake for 5-7 minutes for the layer to set. Take out and let cool.

Next Steps:

  1. Combined boxed brownie mix with oil, egg and water (follow box directions).
  2. Pour brownie batter on top of graham cracker layer. Spread evenly.
  3. Bake brownie/graham cracker layers according to box. I had to add about 10 more minutes.
  4. Once toothpick comes out clean (or almost clean in my house), sprinkle with mini marshmallows. I didn’t measure this but I used just enough to barely cover the brownie, as they will expand in the heat.
  5. Turn oven to “Broil”.
  6. Place brownie bars into oven, not too close to broiler. DO NOT WALK AWAY. Marshmallows go from golden to on fire very quickly!!!
  7. Broil to your desired toastyness, I sat on the floor and watched them through the little oven window.
  8. Take brownies out of oven and let cool slightly before cutting.
  9. Enjoy!
