Lately I've had an insatiable craving for s'mores. I've been dreaming about s'more pies, s'more cupcakes, and classic campfire s'mores. But given my love for brownies, I decided to make s'more brownies. Despite me being extremely excited to make them, the process was anything but smooth-sailing.
They caught on fire. Not a I-swear-I-saw-a-spark kind of fire, but a flaming-brownies-me-screaming-and-frantically-throwing-water-in-the-oven kind of fire. But that didn't stop me from going to the grocery store, buying all new ingredients, and starting over. The second batch turned out beautifully. Maybe I should reconsider the lengths I'm willing to go to for brownies. But probably not.
The detrimental mistake I made was putting the pan too close to the broiler while trying to toast the marshmallows. The recipe says to broil for two minutes, but in my oven it took about 20 seconds, so make sure to keep both eyes on them at all times. If you have a crème brûlée torch, that would probably work best. The fire was (mostly) me being careless, so don't let it scare you away from making these brownies. They are intoxicating.
*I added sea salt to the graham cracker crust and to the brownie batter to get that salty/sweet combination I'm so addicted to. Next time I want to add a little chocolate ganache on top, marshmallows are super sticky to bite into.

How about one of those tiny blow torches? that might be safer.. I've seen Ina Garten use them.. that recipe looks sinfull!...
They look so good. I'm not much of a fan of s'mores usually (too sweet) but these look too good to turn down.
Those look unreal... and so delicious! Good for you to try again. Looks like it was worth it!
Those look like heaven on a plate. :)
Yummm! But more importantly, I'm glad that you are safe! Not gonna lie, all I could think about was the scene from Mrs. Doubtfire when she is cooking and her blouse catches flame.

Olivia you have done it again!!!! AMAZING!!! xo
I miss brownies...I stopped baking when I realised that I would always forget to add an ingredient or too...luckily, you can buy them ready-made!
omg those look... just... ::drool::
ohhhhh Yummy yum yum!! I'll be catching up on your blog this weekend. Sorry I've been a little absent but I can't wait to catch up on everything.

Um... this might be the most delicious looking thing Ive ever seen. Seriously. Did you use vegetarian marshmallows? I haven't had marshmallows in forever because of the gelatin, but I'm thinking of saying forget it just for a roasted marshmallow, haha!
These look amazing, Olivia! And the sea salt sounds like the key ingredient. I love salty/sweet desserts.
OMG.
I don't even use three-letter acronyms, but OMG.
And the sea salt = perfection. You've really outdone yourself, Olivia. Wow.
You are WAY braver than I am! I would have taken fire as a sign from above telling me to quit! Oh my goodness, they look good, but that's too much!
These look beyond amazing!!
omg, those look amazing!!!!!
I made this foodnetwork recipe a few months ago too because i have been in such a s'mores mood. And I agree, the marshmallows were hard to bite into! But, they tasted awesome.
how do the marshmallows hold up overnight? i'm thinking of making these to bring to a BBQ, but I'm worried the marshmallows will just be solid as rocks the next day. any advice is greatly appreciated!
I think they would probably be ok, but you could always wait and add the marshmallows right before you go to the BBQ (they only take 10 seconds under the broiler). If not, I would suggest adding some chocolate ganache on top. Good luck!
