Ingredients
unsalted butter
6 tablespoons (melted)
crushed graham cracker crumbs
1 1/2 cups
sugar
2 tablespoons
fine salt
1 pinch
unsalted butter
8 tablespoons (to be added to the chocolate)
unsweetened chocolate
4 ounces (chopped)
light brown sugar
1 cup (packed)
white sugar
3/4 cup
pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons
fine salt
1/2 teaspoon
large eggs
4 (cold)
all-purpose flour
1 cup
large marshmallows
4 cups
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and position a rack in the lower third. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving about a 1-inch overhang on the edges.
2
Prepare the crust: Lightly butter the foil using some of the melted butter. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining melted butter, crushed graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Mix until evenly combined, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
3
While the crust is baking, prepare the brownie batter: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped unsweetened chocolate and 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Melt in the microwave at 75% power for 2 minutes. Stir and microwave in additional 30-second intervals until completely melted. Alternatively, melt the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan with simmering water, stirring occasionally.
4
Once melted, remove from heat, and stir in the light brown sugar, white sugar, pure vanilla extract, and fine salt until well-blended. Add the cold eggs one at a time, beating vigorously after each addition until the batter is thick and glossy. Gently fold in the flour until just combined. Pour the brownie batter over the baked graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
5
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, with a few moist crumbs attached. Keep in mind that baking times may vary, so check for doneness.
6
After baking, carefully adjust the oven rack to about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat on low. Evenly layer the marshmallows on top of the brownies. Broil for about 2 minutes, or until the marshmallows are toasted and golden brown, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
7
Once toasted, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Use the foil overhang to lift the brownies from the pan. Carefully peel away the foil from any marshmallow that may have stuck. Allow to cool completely before cutting into 12 (2-inch) squares.
