S'mores Brownies have a layer of fudgy brownies nestled between a layer of graham crackers and a layer of melty chocolate and toasted mini marshmallows! This is our favorite campfire treat.

I don’t know what the weather is like this summer in your country, but here in Hungary it is so cold sometimes that at some places even the heating is on, and then, two days later, we have the dog days of the summer when no one can exist without air conditioning or water and beach. I prepared this cake on a rainy, cold summer day, but of course when I wanted to post it on my blog, the temperature was again extreme hot. And if you have a moment please take a look at my new portfilio page. We work a lot with it! But I hope you like it.
