S'more Brownies

Source

I thought the S'more was one of the greatest creations man ever invented... and then this came along. No campfire required. This brilliant idea is from Food Network's website. The picture above is also from their site; it's clearly way too good to be mine. And by the way, unless you are some sort of magician, do not expect them to look anything like this when you cut them. Seriously, how do they do that? 

The link also goes to their recipe. They provide a from scratch version for the brownies. If you want to go down that road, that's fine and all, but I am not much of a baker. I also do not think one can improve upon the Ghirardelli Double-Chocolate Brownie mix. Why mess with ooey-gooey, and most importantly, easy perfection? (If anyone thinks that have something better, don't hold out!) 

Ingredients for the lazy version:

• about 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers (it's one package)
• 6 tbsp melted butter
• pinch salt 
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 package brownie mix (Ghirardelli is the only way to go) 
• almost one package large marshmallows

Preheat the oven to 325. Line an 8x8 baking dish with foil so that there is about an inch overhang on the sides. Brush with some melted butter. Mix the crackers, butter, sugar, and salt in a bowl and press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for about 20 minutes. 

Meanwhile, prepare the brownie mix and when the crust is done, pour the mix over the crust and bake. Check your directions but usually about 45 minutes. 

When brownies are done, line the top with the marshmallows and put under the broiler until brown on the tops. I put the broiler in the low setting. Make sure you watch them carefully. 

Use the foil to pull the brownies out of the pan for easier cutting. Cutting these things will be an extremely messy experience. Trust me when I say, it's totally worth it. In fact, why even bother cutting? Just pass out forks and dig in! 

(update: for those of you who saw this post before, I totally had the brownie mix wrong! It's the Ghirardelli mix, not Godiva! I don't even know if Godiva has one! Opps. Sorry for any confusion...)
