Guess what?! Today is my birthday! 26 years old…hard to believe! It seems like only a year or so ago I was just getting my driver’s license (and promptly crashing into another car…)! I think I’m going to miss 25; don’t get me wrong, there are a few episodes I’m gladly leaving behind (and good riddance!), but for the most part, 25 was a great year. However, I’ve already made up my mind that 26 is going to be the best year YET! I’ve got a phenomenal husband, the world’s happiest, sweetest doggy, a wonderful home, and a loving family- what more do you need in life (well, besides cookies and Mozart)?!
So in honor of my birthday, I’m posting these brownies- they’re fun, completely over-the-top and possibly just a little too much; just like me! 
My good friend Andrea and her sweet dog, Mia came over yesterday for a day by the pool and I decided that was the perfect time to give these brownies the test-run. The verdict? Absolute heaven! I mean, how you possibly go wrong with these- brownie batter, graham crackers, whole Hershey bars and marshmallows topped with more brownie batter?!! GENIUS! You’re going to love these!
S’Mores Stuffed Brownies
-Picky Palate
1 box brownie mix (and whatever other ingredients you need to make the brownies according to the box)
graham crackers
Hershey bars (around 5 or so)
mini marshmallows (about 1 1/2 cups)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Make brownie batter according to box instructions. In a greased 9×9 pan, layer half of the brownie batter, top with whole graham crackers (a single layer), then Hershey bars, then marshmallows; top with remaining brownie batter and spread evenly over the marshmallows. Bake for 40-55 minutes, or until the brownies start to pull away from the edges a bit. Inserting a toothpick won’t be much help, due to the melted Hershey bars. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Totally perfect for your birthday! Happy Birthday Amy, hope you have a super-duper fun-filled day!

Happy Birthday!
Do you think it would turn out ok if I added a second layer of graham crackers above the marshmallows then added the remaining brownie batter above that?

Chris- Hmm, that’s an interesting thought. You could definitely try it and see how it turns out- probably couldn’t hurt it! Let me know!

I just re-read my post and realized how silly it sounds to someone who doesn’t know me! Obviously you have paved roads in Texas–just a joke!
Happy birthday!

I made these for a birthday party. I made 2 changes. I added pecans on top of the marshmallows and when the cake cooked I put a can of dark chocolate frosting on it. It was delish!

Sorry for the late wishes, but I hope you had a very Happy Birthday. This brownie sounds so decadent. For coconut lovers, it also sounds wonderful to add cocnut between layers.
