Times:

Bake Time: 55 minutes -1 hour
Idle Time: 30 minutes
Equipment List:
- 9×9 baking pan
- Parchment Paper
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 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.
- Add the graham cracker mixture to the melted butter and mix until coated.
- Take your pan and place parchment paper in it 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 creates brown bits at the bottom of the pot and gives off a nutty scent.
- Add the chopped semi-sweet chocolate immediately to the hot butter and mix until completely melted. Remove from the heat.
- 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.
- Pour in the brown butter and melted chocolate mixture and mix on low speed or with a whisk until combined.
- Fold in the cocoa powder and espresso powder until combined. Use a rubber spatula, not a mixer, to ensure you don’t overmix.
- Fold in the cocoa powder, flour and espresso powder until combined. Use a rubber spatula not a mixer 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 become golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the brownies rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Cut the brownie into 9 slices, serve and enjoy!
