Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your S’mores Brownies with Vanilla Bean Marshmallow:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Stir in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they’re well incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Add Graham Crackers and Chocolate Chips: Fold in the graham cracker crumbs and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
7. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
8. Cool the Brownies: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Prepare the Marshmallow Topping: In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and light corn syrup over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then increase the heat and bring to a boil without stirring until it reaches the soft ball stage (238°F/114°C).
10. Whisk Egg Whites: While the syrup is boiling, whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form.
11. Combine Syrup with Egg Whites: Carefully stream the hot syrup into the egg whites while continuing to beat on high speed until the mixture is glossy and thickened. Stir in the vanilla extract and vanilla bean seeds.
12. Spread Marshmallow: Once the brownies have cooled completely, spread the vanilla bean marshmallow topping evenly over the brownies using an offset spatula.
13. Optional Toasting: For a fun touch, use a kitchen torch to gently toast the marshmallow topping until golden brown.
14. Slice and Serve: Let the marshmallow topping set for about 10-15 minutes before slicing the brownies into squares.
These steps will guide you in creating incredibly delicious S’mores Brownies with Vanilla Bean Marshmallow, ensuring your experience in the kitchen is as sweet as the final product!
