Directions

  5. Next, add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well until combined.
  6. Gradually add the flour and stir until the batter is smooth.
  7. Spread the brownie mixture evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.
  9. Once baked, cool the brownies on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
  10. Place the whole chocolate bars evenly over the brownies.
  11. Using low broil, place the pan in the oven and add the marshmallow squares on top of the chocolate until the surface is covered.
  12. Broil in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes or until the marshmallows turn golden brown.
  13. Enjoy your warm S’mores Brownies or let them cool completely before serving!
