S’mores Brownies

Chocolate is my love language. Give me chocolate and I pretty much will do almost anything. Almost. Add some marshmallow in there and I’m toast. ;-) So I took my homemade brownie recipe and added a couple of extra things to it and came up with this. Oh. My. You guys...so good. Don’t wait to start a campfire to have some s’mores...although s’mores ARE delish. Make up a batch of these guys...you won’t be sorry.

S’mores Brownies

1 cup butter

2 cups sugar

4 eggs ~ beaten

2 teaspoons vanilla

2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa

1 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

25 s’mores marshmallows (the flat kind. There are two sizes...I used the smaller ones.)

4 1/2 sheets of graham crackers

2 4-ounce Hershey Symphony Bars

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray then line with parchment paper, leaving paper hanging over all four sides.

In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the sugar and stir until combined. Remove from heat.

Add the vanilla and beaten eggs and stir.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder.

Add flour mixture to the butter/egg mixture and gently stir until just combined.

Pour half of the batter into the pan.

Place graham crackers on top of brownie mix.

Unwrap chocolate bars and place on top of graham crackers.

Place marshmallows on top of chocolate bars.

Pour remaining brownie mix on top of marshmallows and spread to edges.

Bake for 45-50 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

Cool brownies then lift from the pan using the parchment paper. 

Run a knife around the edges to help loosen brownies, if needed.

Cut into squares.

Start the campfire....we're 

makin' s'mores brownies!

Spray a 9x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray then line with parchment paper, leaving paper hanging over all 

four sides.

In a medium sauce pan, melt the 

butter over medium heat. Add the 

sugar and stir until combined then remove from the heat.

Add the vanilla and beaten eggs and stir.

Whisk together the flour, cocoa, 

salt and baking powder.

Add flour mixture to the 

butter/egg mixture and gently 

stir until just combined.

Pour half of the batter into 

the pan. Place graham crackers on top of brownie mix.

Unwrap chocolate bars 

and place on top of 

graham crackers.

Next...add the marshmallows.

It's helpful to have a cute little boy place the marshmallows.

bake then cool then lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper.

Cut into squares, break out

 the milk and enjoy!

S'mores Tarts

I reworked my chocolate tart recipe to create these fun, cute and yummy s'mores tarts. This recipe is rich and delicious and oh so decadent! And easy! Did I mention that? Just plop a big ole' marshmallow on top to change up this campfire treat into something wonderful. I used the big marshmallows but you could use the mini ones too! We loved these! (Psssst! If your not a marshmallow fan, just use whipped cream instead!)

S'mores Tarts



12 graham cracker tart shells ~ store bought or homemade
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1 12-ounce package semisweet chocolate chips
4 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Heat the heavy cream and milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat, until it just begins to simmer.

Remove from the heat.

Add the chocolate chips and stir until melted.

Add the sugar and salt and whisk until well combined.

In a small bowl, beat the eggs and then add a little of the chocolate mixture and stir until combined. Then add the egg mixture to the remaining chocolate mixture, stirring until completely blended.

Divide the filling into the graham cracker crusts.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Place on a cookie sheet and chill until set.

Heat oven to broil.

Place marshmallows on top and set under the broiler until lightly browned....just a few seconds!


 

Let's get cookin'!

 

Heat the cream and milk until 

it just simmers. Then add the 

chocolate chips. Stir until smooth.

Pour a little of the chocolate mixture 

into the beaten eggs to temper the eggs.

S'mores Ice Cream

My poor ice cream freezer is almost 40 years old. The bottom of it is so rusted from all the salt it's been exposed to over the years. But it makes THE best ice cream. I tried one of those new-fangled ones and it just wasn't the same. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when it finally dies. But I'm using it all I can until it decides to give up the ghost. Like in this yummy ice cream. Holy cow but this was good. If you're a fan of s'mores, then this is for you!!! Totally tastes like a cold s'more....how is that even possible???? Give it a try!!

S'mores Ice Cream



5 eggs, mixed well
2 cups sugar

Cook and whisk eggs and sugar over double boiler for 10 -15 minutes or until eggs are thick and pale.

When eggs are cooked, remove from heat and pour into your ice cream freezer.

Add:
1 can eagle brand condensed milk
1 quart heavy whipping cream
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 7-ounce container marshmallow cream

Whisk until smooth. There may be some lumps of marshamallow cream left. That's ok.

1 quart half & half

Mix all ingredients (except half & half) well and pour into ice cream freezer. Add 1 quart half and half to fill line and freeze according to freezer instructions.

When ice cream is done stir in:

3 4.25-ounce chopped milk chocolate candy bars (I used Hershey's Symphony bars)
1 sleeve rough chopped graham crackers

Then drizzle in 1 more 7-ounce container marshmallow cream. Stir with a knife but don't mix in completely.


 
Let's do this!

 
Cook the eggs and sugar over a 
double boiler until thick and pale.

 
Like this!

 
Then add the egg mixture, sweetened 
condensed milk, salt, vanilla and 1 
 container of the marshmallow cream 
to your ice cream mixer.

 
If some the marshmallow cream 
doesn't get all mixed in, that's okay. 
It may look like this.

 
Then add enough half and half to 
top off the mixture and turn on your machine.

 
In the meantime, chop the chocolate.....

 
...and the graham crackers.

 
When the ice cream is done churning, 
pour it into a large container then sprinkle 
with the chocolate and crackers. Stir to combine.

 
Then plop with remaining marshmallow 
cream on top and swirl through. 
Place in the freezer to harden.

 
So good, guys!!!!
