Times:

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 55 minutes -1 hour
Idle Time: 30 minutes

Equipment List:

• • 9×9 baking pan

• • Parchment Paper

Directions:

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

1. 1. Start by making the graham cracker crust by pulsing the graham crackers and brown sugar together in a mixer until they are a crumb consistency.

 

3. 3. Add the graham cracker mixture to the melted butter and mix until coated.

 

4. 4. Take your pan and place parchment paper in it to prevent the brownies from sticking.

4. 4. 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.

 

6. 6. While the crust is baking, brown the butter for the brownie batter in a pot. Stir continuously until the melted butter creates brown bits at the bottom of the pot and gives off a nutty scent.

 

7. 7. Add the chopped semi-sweet chocolate immediately to the hot butter and mix until completely melted. Remove from the heat.

8. 8. Combine the sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a separate bowl. Beat until thick and fluffy; use a hand mixer if available, but a whisk can still be used if not. You will notice the mixture has lightened in color as well.

9. 9. Pour in the brown butter and melted chocolate mixture and mix on low speed or with a whisk until combined.

10. 10. Fold in the cocoa powder and espresso powder until combined. Use a rubber spatula, not a mixer, to ensure you don’t overmix.

14. 14. Pour the mini marshmallows evenly on top of the brownies.

16. 16. Place back in the oven for another 3-5 minutes, watching closely until the marshmallows have toasted and become golden brown.
