I don’t get why s’mores have become so representative of summer time. I mean, I understand the whole campfire thing and I guess when it’s 30 degrees outside you would rather be on the couch than on a tree stump. But that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate s’mores all year round. S’mores don’t have to be a seasonal thing. It’s not like Pumpkin. Nobody would be caught dead eating Pumpkin between the months of January and August! Even December is pushing it… You don’t need to plant the s’mores and tend to your crops to harvest them at a certain time of year so, why are s’mores desserts treated like exclusive “farm to table” fare.
So, what’s the point of this rambling nonsense? I don’t really know. I needed an introduction to this recipe and started to think about how annoying it is that s’mores flavored food is often offered for a limited time during the warmer months.
No! I will not stand for it any longer. It is time to end this insanity and make a significant cultural change. Let it be known that I will not rest until the s’more is accepted by all equally as much in February as it is in July!
Oh, you’re reading this for a recipe? Sorry…
Brownie-S’mores Mountain
Ingredients
4 Brownies*: boxed mix, store bought, homemade, etc. (whatever type are your favorite)
2 full Graham Crackers
4 large Marshmallows
Non-stick Spray
Handful of mini marshmallows (optional)
Additional broken pieces of graham cracker (optional)
Chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
For a 2 person serving, take 4 brownie cubes (about 2in size squares) and place them on the baking sheet.
Top each brownie with half of a graham cracker and 1 large marshmallow.
Place the baking sheet in the oven for about 7 minutes or until the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted. The marshmallows will expand a bit.
Remove from oven. The brownies need to be transported to a plate next. Carefully using a spatula, lift the brownies and stack them one on top of the other. Gently press down when stacking so that the marshmallows melt and act as an adhesive.**
As the Brownie-S’mores Mountain grows, it will become unstable and most likely topple over. This is a good thing! The brownies, graham crackers, and marshmallows will get stuck together.
You may want to add some mini marshmallows, additional graham cracker pieces, and chocolate chips to the plate… if it doesn’t look gooey and delicious enough already.
With this recipe, keep in mind, the messier the better!***
* The brownies I used in this recipe are flourless.
**You may find it would be helpful to spray the spatula with non-stick spray when pressing down on the marshmallow stacks.
***Serving size is approximate and can all be adjusted based on your personal preference of brownie to marshmallow to graham cracker ratio.
