August 10th – National S’mores Day [VIDEO]

Today, August 10th is National S'mores Day! I haven't had a s'mores in years until we went over to our neighbors and had s'mores on their deck with their gas fire pit! That was a year ago! It was delicious and I must be due for my yearly S'more!

Now you may not want to stand by a campfire or grill to make your s'mores if you are celebrating today! So I found this recipe for baked s'mores! It's so easy! I'm adding milk chocolate, mini-marshmallows and graham crackers to the shopping list!

And check out this recipe for S'mores brownies courtesy of Save-A-Lot

• 9 Sunny’s honey graham crackers (1 sleeve), crushed
• 4 Tbsp. Coburn Farms salted butter, melted
• 2 cups Ginger Evans mini marshmallows, divided
• 1 box (21.2-oz.) Ginger Evans chocolate chunk brownie mix
• 3 Tbsp. water
• ½ cup Medeiros vegetable oil
• 2-3 Good Nature eggs

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 9x9-inch pan. Alternatively, line the pan with parchment paper and lightly grease so that, once baked, the entire S’mores Brownie may be lifted out of the pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan. Distribute 1 cup or mini marshmallow across the graham cracker crust and bake for 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the brownie mix according to package directions using the water, oil and eggs.
4. Remove pan from oven and pour the brownie batter over graham crackers and marshmallows.
5. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove from oven and arrange the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallow over the top. Be sure to keep the marshmallows away from the sides of the pan.
6. Return to the oven and continue baking 15 minutes, until marshmallows are golden brown and melted.
7. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. To get a clean cut, run a large knife under hot water and wipe with a towel after each cut. Store brownies in airtight container for 3 days.

Oh, and tell me this isn't karma! August 10th is also National Lazy Day! Because we all know if you eat too many s'mores you're going into a food coma!
