Thses brownies are moist and packed with chocolate flavor, but they won't crumble when you cut them. In fact they hold up well enough to pack in a child's lunchbox or bring to a picnic or bake sale. They're pretty good at home too, with a tall glass of milk!! You will need 6 whole graham crackers to yield 3/4 cup crumbs when finely ground in a food processor. Prepare the brownie batter while the crust bakes. This recipe will not work in an oven with a separate broiler compartment. Ingredients:
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs |
1 tablespoon sugar |
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted |
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped |
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into chunks |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon table salt |
2 large eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2/3 cup all-purpose flour |
2 cups miniature marshmallows |
Directions:
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350°F Line 8-inch baking dish with foil and coat foil with cooking spray.
2. FOR THE CRUST:
3. Withe fingers, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter in bowl, until evenly moistened. Firmly pat crumbs into prepared pan and bake until firm and lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
4. FOR THE BROWNIES:.
5. While crust is baking, melt chocolate and butter in small bowl in microwave or in heatproof bowl set over pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally to combine. Cool mixture for several minutes.
6. Whisk sugar, baking powder, salt, eggs, and vanilla together in medium bowl, until combined, about 15 seconds. Whisk in chocolate mixture until smooth. Stir in flour until no streaks of flour remain. Scrape batter evenly over crust and gently push batter into corners to cover crust.
7. Bake until toothpick inserted halfway between edge and center of pan (being careful not to insert toothick into crumb crust) comes out clean, 22-27 minutes. Remove pan from oven and turn oven to broil.
8. FOR THE TOPPING:.
9. Sprinkle brownies evenly with a single layer of marshmallows. Return pan with brownies to oven and broil until marshmallows are lightly browned, 1-3 minutes. (Watch over constantly, marshmallows will melt slightly but should hold their shape). Immediately remove pan from oven Cool brownies on wire rack to room tomperature, about 2 hours.
10. Coat knife with cooking spray to prevent the marshmallows from sticking. Using foil, lift brownies from pan to cutting board. Slide foil out from under brownies and cut brownies into 2-inch squares.
