The idea behind this recipe is brilliantly simple—and you'll wonder why you never thought of it yourself. Make a batch of fudge brownies (you can use a store-bought mix, as the recipe suggests, or make it from scratch). Then, halfway through baking, you will top the brownies with a tasty mixture of broken graham crackers, mini marshmallows, and chopped chocolate. The brownies go back into the oven until fully baked. The result is a decadent brownie that also reminds you of s'mores—a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
