cook-eat-write

I have a problem. That problem is that I am really a picky eater. There is a lot of foodstuff that I really don’t like. Mayonnaise, melon, cooked fish, yogurt, cream cheese, jam, etc. It sucks. I wish I liked these things. I have tried over and over to like a lot of these things. My life would be so much easier if I liked yogurt. But anyway. My point is that, because I like to cook, sometimes I come across recipes that I really want to try, but I don’t because I know I won’t like the finished product, and that seems like a big waste to me. Example: cheesecake. I SO want to make a cheesecake, but I hate cheesecake. I know, I’m not a real human being, etc. etc.

But sometimes the desire to try a recipe overcomes the distaste for the actual finished product. One of these occasions involved marshmallows. I can’t stand the things. They’re gross. Ew. But when I came across this recipe for S’more Brownies, I had to give it a try. I figured, even if I didn’t want them, someone would eat them, right?

Recipe for you!:

Ease of preparation: 3.5
Taste: 2.5
Feeds: 9 or so if I remember correctly

As it was, I did actually sample this in the end. I just pulled off the marshmallows and tossed them and ate the brownie part. They weren’t the best brownies I have ever made or had, but they weren’t bad and the graham cracker crust was different and tasty. Those others who tried them gave me good reviews!

Suggestions / Changes

Make sure you follow the instructions about the foil exactly. it’s important to being able to remove these from the pan and making the end result pretty as well as tasty. Be sure not to over bake the graham cracker crust. I would maybe even bake it 5 mins less than indicated. Mine was very close to having a lightly burned taste.

Also, the large marshmallows seemed to overtake the entire dish. In the future I would suggest trying small marshmallows instead. Make sure you have a sharp clean knife to cut these babys up!
