Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 12 graham crackers crushed
  • ¼ cup raw sugar
  • ½ stick butter melted unsalted

Brownie Batter

  • 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter browned
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped
  • 1 cup raw sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon espresso powder

Topping

  • 1 ½ - 2 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
  • Start by making the graham cracker crust by pulsing the graham crackers and raw sugar together in a mixer until they are a crumb consistency.
  • Add the graham cracker mixture to the melted butter and mix together until coated.
  • Place parchment paper in your pan to prevent the brownies from sticking.
  • Mold the graham cracker crust into the bottom of the pan until evenly spread. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.
  • While the crust is baking, brown the butter for the brownie batter in a pot. Stir continuously until the melted butter begins to create brown bits at the bottom of the pot and give off a nutty scent.
  • Add the chopped semi sweet chocolate immediately to the hot butter and mix together until completely melted. Remove from the heat.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the raw sugar, eggs and vanilla. Beat until thick and fluffy. You will notice the mixture has lightened in color as well.
  • Pour in the brown butter and melted chocolate mixture and mix together on low speed until combined.
  • Fold in the cocoa powder and espresso powder until combined. Use a rubber spatula to ensure you don’t overmix.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the pan over the graham cracker crust and spread evenly.
  • Bake for another 35-40 minutes. The brownies should look set and no longer jiggle when you pull them out of the oven.
  • Turn your oven on broil.
  • Pour the mini marshmallows evenly on top of the brownies. Place back in the oven for another 3-5 minutes, watching closely until the marshmallows have toasted and reached a golden brown color.
  • Remove from the oven and let the brownies rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
