Black Friday Sales are not my thing. So Friday we skipped the sales and went on the hunt for the perfect Christmas tree...but first I did a little baking...I figured we might need a energy snack..nothing too serious...I mean it started with a box of brownie mix.
You probably have this stuff on hand...Right?
Then make some S'mores Brownies!
S'mores Brownies
1 family-size brownie mix, 9x13-inch pan size
10 whole graham cracker squares (5 sheets), broken into pieces
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup milk chocolate morsels
ingredients to prepare brownie mix
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. In a bowl mix the brownie mix according to the directions on the package. Pour into the greased pan and bake for 18 minutes. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with the graham cracker pieces, pressing down lightly. Sprinkle evenly with marshmallow and chocolate morsels. Return to the oven and continue baking for 12 minutes. Let cool, and cut into 24 squares.
And the tree....
Every year we try to pick a bigger tree than the one we had last year, but I think we have MAXED out. It's practically touching the ceiling.

And the decorated tree!
So have you got your tree up yet?

I love this recipe,but I also love shopping, so I went to the mall instead of baking. I skipped the crazy early morning shopping and hit the mall at 11:00. Great tree! You can't beat the smell and look of a real tree.
ReplyDeleteBet I cannot find Brownie mix here :(
ReplyDeleteYour decorations look magical. Diane
wow what a Christmas tree! it's huge!:) and the smell must be amazing:))
ReplyDeleteI haven't taken out my Christmas decorations yet, maybe next weekend;) but this year I'll have only a Christmas wreath and some stars and lights, no tree-because I don't have place for it. But maybe some day...:))
have a wonderful time!

ps. brownie looks delicious!
Not yet!
ReplyDeleteI should soon.
Glad to see you back! Those brownies look divine (and like they could get all kinds of smooshed in my teeth!). :) Your tree is beautiful. And I love the wood ceiling in that room. Our trees have been up for a few weeks, but we are fakers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious way to start the Christmas season. My husband and I have switched to an artificial tree for a multitude of reasons and I did start decorating it yesterday. Your tree is beautiful!
ReplyDeletewow X'mas tree is already out!
ReplyDeleteThe brownies look rich and inviting.
Beautiful, beautiful tree!! Don't have ours yet...thinking about it, though. Yum on the brownies, as well :D
ReplyDeleteI should have put the tree up this weekend but just not feeling it yet.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Glad to see you back! Great recipe. Beautiful tree... love it.
ReplyDeleteYeah! You're back!! You were missed! The brownies look so yummy - I love smores, but don't get around campfires too often. No tree yet, not till it's officially December - I'm weird that way!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous, I want a tree but we have no room.
ReplyDeleteLove the treats! Have a bite for me...
gorgeous Christmas tree! i should also put up one in my new house soon.
ReplyDeleteOh the tree is gorgeous. We do wait a little longer - because I love to have it though mid-January. But I always, always have a sweet treat to go along with the decorating. Your easy brownies fit the bill. Black Friday sales? Do people really go to them?
ReplyDeleteI have fond memories of s'mores brownies with caramel and peanuts! My mom even whipped them up with a box, too. I like that your version has graham cracker pieces.
ReplyDeleteThe s'mores would be a huge hit in my house! Your tree looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tree! I also skipped the shopping on Friday and had a little baking marathon instead:-)
ReplyDeleteHey, you're back!!! Your tree looks great and I'm definitely in the mood to bake as well. Hope your Thanksgiving was great. Have a fabulous week!
ReplyDeleteSo good to see you back! My kiddos would love these brownies...and I always like a shortcut recipe for when I need something sweet in a hurry. Yup...I think you can only go wider next year with the tree ;)
ReplyDeleteYour tree is absolutely lovely, Bo! And I love smores anything!!!
