S'more Brownies

A major family favorite...

not to mention a hit at the bakesale!

I'll never forget when the kids told me these were

priced high and sold fast at school!

I won't lie,
I was pretty proud!

S'more Brownies

Makes 12 generous "inside" brownies

(We save the edges for snacking!)

Ingredients

1 pkg. Betty Crocker family-size brownie mix, unprepared

1/4 c brown sugar, unpacked

1/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder

3/4 c fat free milk

1/4 c vegetable oil

2 large eggs

4 tbs Nutella spread

3/4 c chocolate chips

4 sheets of graham cracker, crushed

1-2 c mini-marshmallows or 6 large marshmallows cut in half

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 13 x 9 in. glass pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl combine the first five dry ingredients and create a well for the wet.  Add the milk, oil and eggs and whisk briskly in the well before incorporating into all of the dry.  Add the Nutella, whisking thoroughly, and pour into the pan.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the baking time.  Your oven will most certainly vary from mine, so keep a close eye.  You're looking for brownies that are nearly done, but not quite.

Once they've reached that point, sprinkle the chocolate chips on top and return to the oven for one minute.  Gently spread the melted chips like a frosting over the surface. Sprinkle with the graham cracker and top with piles of the mini-marshmallows or the halved large marshmallows in the center of each brownie.

Set the oven to broil at 400 degrees and toast until the marshmallows are puffed and golden,

approximately 1 1/2 minutes.  Watch carefully-they burn quickly!

Let cool and then cut-making sure to stay away from the marshmallows (they don't cut well at all!).  Holler to the kiddies that the brownies are ready, and you have yourself one happy family!

{special note}

Because of the additional toppings added in stages, these brownies require some careful timing.  Just remember to pull them before they're done and you'll be good to go with the adding of everything else!
