Cooking w/ L+L: Brownie S’mores

Remember Adele?

"hello, again!"

"hello, again!"

You may recall Adele from such posts as Cooking w/ L+L – Guilt-Free Key Lime Pie.  She’s a fabulous cook and just happens to be my mother.  Adele’s talented at whipping up all kinds of culinary deliciousness, but she’s especially outstanding when it comes to desserts.  In fact, I made her Brownie S’mores for Slick’s family’s Thanksgiving Cookie Competition and won 3rd place!  (1st and 2nd were nearly impossible to beat…)

like mother, like daughter...

like mother, like daughter? (fingers crossed!)

Brownie S’mores are incredibly easy to prepare and are excellent comfort food when it’s chilly outside.  They even make for a yummy hostess gift for all those holiday parties you’ll be attending over the next few weeks.  You’ll have people screaming for s’more!!

(Fine, that was lame…)

Here’s the Q+DD on Adele’s Brownie S’mores:

Ingredients:
1 package of Duncan Hines fudge brownie mix + associates items (eggs, oil, etc.)
1/2 cup of chocolate chips
1 cup of mini-marshmallows
6 Honey Maid graham cracker cookie rectangles in the “honey” flavor
  
Directions:
Cook brownies in a 9×13 glass pan according to the instructions to make “fudgy” brownies – not “cake” brownies.  Under-cook brownies by five minutes.  Take the brownies out of the over and evenly sprinkle on the chocolate chips.  Then, evenly sprinkle on the mini-marshmallows.  Put brownies back into the oven and cook for the remaining five minutes.  You will want to prepare the graham crackers while the brownies are cooking.  One rectangular graham cracker will break into four smaller pieces along the perforated lines on the cookie.  The graham crackers break easily, so I suggest using a very sharp knife to carefully cut them.  Cut between 20 – 24 small rectangles total. 

Once the brownies are cooked, quickly take them out of the oven and place on/ push down the graham cracker rectangles onto the marshmallows.  Be sure and place them onto the marshmallows a little spread out as this will make the brownies easier to cut when they are cooled.  I suggest cooling over night.  Once completely cooled, gently cut the brownies using a plastic knife (tends to work better for me than a regular knife as the marshmallows are difficult to cut).  Brownie S’mores are supposed to look a little messy, so it is okay if they aren’t cut perfectly.

voila!

voila!

They are best served with a glass of soy or regular milk.  Just like the ones we made at camp minus the fire minus bugs minus 104 degree Texas heat plus brownies!  Eat and enjoy! 

Happy cooking!  (Thanks, Mom!)  :)

xx, L

    These sound pretty good Lindsay! I always get asked to make choux pastry for parties and its getting annoying – too much work, washing up and construction involved. Maybe I’ll bust this out and cop out instead :P
