Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

3/4 cup butter
3 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Brownies

3/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup butter melted
2 tablespoons prepared coffee
1-2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla
1-1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 peanut butter cups
2 dark chocolate candy bars

Marshmallows

24 ounces large jet-puffed marshmallows

Instructions

Graham Cracker Crust

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 pan and set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Remove from heat.
Add graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt to saucepan.
Stir together until combined.
Press graham cracker crumb mixture into an even layer.
TIP: To insure that the crumb mixture is in an even layer, I like to use the bottom of a glass to gently press the mixture into the pan.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until set and beginning to brown.

Brownies

In a large saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add cocoa and coffee to melted butter.
Stir together to combine.
Add sugar, eggs and vanilla to saucepan.
Stir together until well combined.
Add flour, baking powder and salt.
Stir together until just combined
Top graham cracker crust with brownie mixture, spreading in an even layer.
Press peanut butter cups into brownie batter in three rows of four.
TIP: To avoid having the s'mores brownies being overly sweet, I love to use dark chocolate peanut butter cups from Justin's or Chocolove.
Break the candy bar into individual pieces and place in horizontal and vertical rows between peanut butter cups.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until just set.

Marshmallows

Add marshmallows to top of brownies pressing lightly to adhere them to the warm brownies.
Broil for 2-3 minutes or until they reach desired brownness.
TIP: Keep your eyes glued to your brownies! Once they start to brown they'll go from lightly tanned to charred in just seconds.
TIP: If you want to be fancy or simply want more control over the marshmallow toasting experience, you can also used a handheld kitchen torch.
