This recipe is not one for the faint hearted! Very calorific but very worth it! 🙂 it’s based on the American pop tart variety s’mores. Which is filled with melted chocolate and marshmallow. Enough said.
All it took was a mention of brownies from my friend and that was it, these s’mores brownies were born! They have a buttery biscuit base with gooey chocolate brownie with chocolate chunks and almond pieces topped with toasted marshmallow 🙂 enjoy 🙂
Ingredients
Biscuit Base
160g digestive biscuits
30g melted butter
2 tbsp caster sugar
Brownie
150g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
130g milk chocolate
280g unsalted butter
3 eggs
280g caster sugar
125g plain flour
40g cocoa powder
85g milk chocolate (broken into pieces)
85g white chocolate (broken into pieces)
50g dark chocolate (broken into pieces)
50g almonds (broken into pieces)
Almonds optional and other nuts can be used.
Toasted marshmallow top
100g white marshmallows
Method
Line a 23cm square baking tin and grease well. Preheat oven to 180c/gm4.
Smash the biscuits until they resemble breadcrumbs, this can be done in a food processor but a great job for kids or friends that linger in the kitchen!
Combine the melted butter, sugar and biscuits in a bowl until well combined.
Place the biscuit mix into the baking tin and press down with a spatula, trying to make sure it’s even in the tin.
Bake in the oven for 20 mins until golden brown.
While the base is cooking, melt the dark and milk chocolate together with the butter in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure not to let the water touch the bottom of the bowl! Then leave to cool slightly.
(I had to improvise with a pirex baking dish as I didn’t have a glass bowl!)
In a separate bowl whisk the eggs and sugar until pale and frothy and add the cooled melted chocolate and gently mix together
Sift in the flour and cocoa powder and gently combine. When mixed add the broken mixed chocolate and almonds.
Pour the brownie mixture ontop of the cooled biscuit base, I decorated with white chocolate buttons but its not really needed as the marshmallow will cover the brownie.
Bake in the oven for 40-50 mins depending on how gooey you like your brownies!
Yoshi’s back in the kitchen with Kay unfortunately this is most definitely not doggy friendly!!!
When baked cover the top of the brownie with marshmallows and place under a medium low grill to melt and toast slightly, this does not take long so keep an eye on it!
This can be very difficult to cut so as tempting as it is leave to cool completely and gently cut with a serrated knife.
Although very sickly these are absolute heaven! Even better if slightly warmed in the microwave! But make sure you cut them small as you can always go back for more!
Happy baking 🙂
