Sweet Baked Life

Extend your love of the summer with these simple and sweet Brownie S’mores! They are perfect as an after school snack or to pack in your lunch for an afternoon treat at the office! Kids and adults alike will love them!

Can you believe that it’s almost the end of the summer? Me neither!

And I’m glad to be back with a post after a couple of crazy weeks around here. With my son starting high school, lots of big projects at the office, and endless home repairs — sometimes I wish things were a bit simpler!  But, no matter what, I would not change a thing!

Last week the hubs and I went to my son’s back-to-school night. The high school is amazing — his  teachers were inspiring and for me, motivating to hear them talk about their classes and what they will be covering this year. And even though there was not time to chat with the teachers, I made a special point to introduce myself to each of them — and to my surprise, they all had wonderful things to say about my son.

Ok, not saying that I did not know he is amazing (of course I know that he is!). But do you remember how nervous I was about him starting high school? Well, much to my surprise, and in a very short time my kiddo has really adjusted to high school and has immersed himself in his classes. As well, he has worked his intellectual charm on all of his teachers (all women mind you!). His French teacher even commented, “Oh, he is my favorite student.”

Huge smile on mom and dad’s faces! We are so proud of him!

So, if you too have been crazed with school starting and all the new activities, then these S’mores Brownies will be a great thing for you to make and share with your family. Did I say that they are easy to make. Oh, yes. One of the things I enjoy so much is when I find a recipe that is not only easy to make, but taste great too.

You make these in small mason jars – and they can be stored right on your kitchen counter and there is nothing that needs to be refrigerated. All you do is layer the ingredients, screw the top on and you’re done. In my book, nothing is simpler!

You start with brownies –  you can make these or to save more time, you can buy them from your favorite bakery. Then you add crumbled graham crackers, chopped Hershey candy bars, and marshmallow fluff. You can then lightly toast the marshmallow fluff, add more crumbled graham crackers and candy, and either serve immediately or enjoy later.

I love making these in the mini mason jars — for me, just the right amount when you need to satisfy your sweet tooth!

If you’re short on time, but in need of something sweet, these Brownie S’mores are a must try! They are reminiscent of summer and will bring you back to a time when life was simple. And since they are so easy to prepare, make them all-year round like I will be doing!
