5-Minute Prep S’Mores Brownies
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Before I get to the 5 Min Prep S’Mores Brownies: I get a lot of questions from folks on Facebook, comments on the site, and email asking how I’m doing and how I’ve been since the accident. When last I left off, I had taken my first steps and was learning to walk again.
You’ll need: Brownie mix (and ingredients needed to make it), graham crackers, chocolate chips, and either marshmallow cream or marshmallows.
And butter. You need butter. Margarine will work just fine.
~I wrote something incredibly funny and creative here but realized it would spawn a lot of emails from folks not as gifted as we are with a sense of humor, so I deleted it. *sigh* This is why I’m way funnier in person…or around large groups of folks who don’t have access to my email address 😉 ~
I am using the 8×8 package of brownie mix but you can use the 9×13 if you like, just double the marshmallows, chocolate chips, and graham crackers.
Line baking dish with graham crackers (you don’t have to grease it).
Melt your butter and brush it over the tops of the graham crackers.
Prepare brownie batter according to package directions and spread on top of graham crackers. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
Bake according to package directions. Remove from oven and turn broiler on low.
This is a horrible picture but we are in the middle of our third winter so far this year 😉 So bear with me
Sprinkle marshmallows all over top or drop marshmallow cream by dollops over top, then gently spread to edges.
Sprinkling Marshmallows over the top would be easier and quicker, but for this tutorial I didn’t have them, only marshmallow cream leftover from fudge making at Christmas time. So I went with what I have. No sense in making a special trip when you can make do instead!
Place under broiler (at least six inches away from it) for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly browned on top. Watch carefully and do not leave unattended while it is browning because this will happen fast.
Allow to cool sligtly.
Cut, serve, enjoy!

Oh my!! About “all” I can say is WOW!! Christy… I do believe you just keep getting better and better “all of the time!!’
YUM-YUM!! Now these are pure AWESOMENESS!! ; ()
Love and Blessings to you and yours, Christy!! Thanks for “another better than GOOD one!!”
LOL, I just love you Kaye! Hope you enjoy…and stay warm!!
Wow, great recipe! Now I’m dying to know what humor the grumps of the world have deprived us of. : ) I’m a butter eater, but I love butter/margarine humor. The worst that could happen with margarine consumption is …ummm…I eat margarine? 🙂 Maybe I get to heaven earlier? ; ) Hee hee!
I so appreciate your consideration towards the “party-poopers” of the world though. I fear I still need to work on showing that level of love. Thanks, Christy!
🙂
Girl, you don”t shine you sparkle. Way to Christy!!
Awww, thank you Jeanette!!
I’m glad you’re getting back well on your feet. Unfortunately I didn’t get to see you on your tour due to not having a car, but It was so nice to see pictures of you up and around enjoying yourself.
I know a S’more lover who will enjoy this like no tomorrow. Plus I tried making brownies from the scratch recently and holy crud. I never want to buy a pack of mix again. I’d never knock anyone else for doing it and I’m sure I will again eventually, I just couldn’t believe the difference. Holy crud!
Thank you Ellen, I am so sorry you couldn’t make it to a book signing. Hopefully we will get to meet up one day!
Love your inspirational posts, they always make me really think about life, and give encouragement! The brownies look GREAT! I’d rather have the marshmallow cream than the mini marshmallows any day…thanks for a great post and recipe!
By the way, I won a copy of your “Come Home to Supper” cookbook from Heather Tallman’s “Basil Momma” blog, and it’s just awesome! I was so thrilled when I won, and am so proud to have it. Have a great week!
Deb
I hope you enjoy the book Debbie, CONGRATULATIONS on winning it!!
Christy, I’m glad you’re feeling much better! Hopefully the pain will diminish soon. I get what you mean about just growing accustomed to pain. In October I suddenly needed surgery for a condition, and feel ill much of the time now. I am an optimistic, upbeat person and before the surgery when I was sick and in a lot of pain, and as I recovered, and now as well, I’m in a cheery mood 95% of the time. Might as well be happy and cheerful, right?!
The brownies look amazing. I have 0 interest in football, but will be making a dessert for my husband to take to a friend’s Super Bowl party this weekend. My plan had been to make Carmelitas (never made ’em and they look amazing), but might need to make these brownies instead! I’ll let my husband choose which he’d rather have 🙂
I so agree!! Cheerful and Happy it is!!
Hi Christy! I greatly enjoyed meeting you again when you spoke at the Mesquite, Texas Barnes & Noble in the fall! Love your new book! I initially met you and your lovely lemon pie in Austin at Book People. What a joy it was to discover you and your first book! Thanks again for the marvelous gift of the superb recipes, encouragement and LOVE you send out on Southern Plate!
Now this is NOT to scare you AT ALL. However, I feel a responsibility to pass along on to you (and all the Southern Plate family) a piece of information I just learned. If you are still experiencing pain at times where you broke bones, it’s good to have your doctor check you again carefully. Usually this is just part of healing. But rarely, a person can have a blood clot hiding out near an old bone break, even months later, and that can turn serious. Pain or discomfort is sometimes the only sign. (You can read other symptoms online.) My husband’s cousin in her early 50’s had a clot hiding out months after her ankle break. Nobody knew it was there. She evidently thought it was just her bones healing, and she was the kind to ignore discomfort and cheerfully go through her day, loving others. Sadly, about two weeks ago she collapsed and died. It turned out that there was a clot and the clot had broken loose. So it’s good to get checked out if bone breaks continue to hurt or ache.
Christy, we all want you to be a great-great grandma someday and to doing Southern Plate until you are 125, ha ha, so take good care of yourself!
Oh my goodness, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I will keep that in mind and thanks for the information.
