Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
To make the base: In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Spoon the mixture into a glass 9 x 13-inch pan and pat down evenly to cover the bottom only. Set it aside. (I like to line the bottom with aluminum foil, leaving a 3-inch overhang on the short side of the pan. I can then lift out the entire brownie so that I can cut it very cleanly.)
To make the brownie: In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and sugar, stirring constantly until the sugar and butter are melted.
In a large bowl, add the chocolate chops. Pour the hot sugar mixture over the chocolate chips and stir it till it is melted. Add the vanilla and mix. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour and salt together. Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and stir until they are just combined. Stir in the milk chocolate.
Pour mixture into a prepared pan and spread it evenly. Place the marshmallows, cut side down, evenly over the top. Try to arrange it so that each brownie has a marshmallow half on it.
Bake the brownies for 35 minutes, or until they are slightly firm to the touch. Do not overbake.
Let the brownies cool, and then cut them.
