S'mores Brownies

These s'mores brownies are crazy good and perfect for summer. They have a graham cracker crust, a thick brownie and a layer of creamy ganache with graham cracker crumbs and a roasted marshmallow on top. Is your mouth watering yet?

Ingredients:

• brownie mix and the ingredients listed on the back of the box
• 6 graham cracker sheets
• 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup chocolate chips (any kind. I used semi-sweet)
• 1 bag marshmallows

Start out by mixing up your brownies according to the box

Then smash your graham crackers and melt the butter

And stir it together with a fork to create a crust-like mixture. Fill up a cupcake pan with liners and spray them so the brownies don't stick. Take a heaping teaspoon of the crust and pat it down inside the cupcake liners. Then fill the liners 3/4 full with the brownie batter. I like to use a cupcake scoop to make sure the liners are evenly filled. Bake the brownies according to the instructions on the box. 

While the brownies are baking, let's make the ganache. It's only 2 ingredients! All you need is heavy whipping cream and chocolate chips. First, measure out your chocolate chips in a bowl and set it aside. Then, measure 1 cup of whipping cream in a microwave safe bowl and microwave it until it starts to get bubbly, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the cream from the microwave and pour it over the chocolate chips and stir away. Keep on stirring until it forms a creamy chocolate sauce. Once your brownies are done, take them out of the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes.

Take your spatula and pour some ganache on top of your cupcakes. Smooth it out so it creates an even layer on your cupcake. Let them dry for a few minutes. 

After the ganache is cooled but still a little tacky to the touch, take some graham cracker crumbs and sprinkle them on top. Now, it's time to add the marshmallows. Cut a marshmallow in half and put it on your cupcake. Then, take a lighter and carefully roast your marshmallow. If it lights on fire, just quickly blow it out!

You're all done! Stand back and admire your beautiful brownies... Then eat one. Or three.
