FACEBOOK FRIENDS AND YUMMY BROWNIES!

Today I was browsing around Facebook while taking a much needed break from canning SWEET RELISH.  One of my Facebook friends was bragging about these yummy brownies she had made, and of course you know me....I just had to ask for the recipe!  Although I have not had the chance to try these for myself, I have word from some very reliable sorces, that they are amazing!  If you get to try them before me, let me know what you think!

SMORE'S BROWNIES

My husband just loves Smore's! I found this SMORE'S BROWNIES recipe on recipezaar.com, it is sooooo good you won't ever want regular Smore's again! I tweaked the ingredients and directions a little, but the end result was DELICIOUS!!! Hope you give this one a try!

Smore's Brownies:

1 (20oz) box brownie mix (enough for a 9x13 pan)

3 chocolate candy bars (I used milk chocolate chips)

3 cups mini marshmallows

8 graham crackers (or enough to cover bottom of pan)

1 tablespoon shortening ( I used PAM)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9x13 pan using shortening. Line pan with graham crackers until bottom of pan is completely covered. (Youwill need to cut a few to fit, yes, you can cut graham crackers with a knife!) Prepare brownie mix according to package directions for cake-like brownies. Pour prepared batter over graham crackers. Cook for 25-30 minutes until toothpick comes out clean (I cooked mine about 3 minutes less because I like mine gooey!) Remove from oven and top with marshmallows over the top of the brownies until completely covered. Break chocolate bars into small pieces and sprinkle on top of marshmallows. (this is where I used the chocolate chips instead! I also added HONEY TEDDY GRAHAMS to the top for decoration.) Place back in the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until marshmalows have melted. (I place mine under the broiler so the marshmallows would brown just like a real Smore made on the fire!) Remove and let cool, or serve warm. ( I liked them warm and gooey, right out of the oven, but you can reheat them in the microwave the next day, and they are just as yummy!)
