Do you love brownies? Do you love smores? Well then in that case your going to want me to introduce to you this super easy recepie for smores brownies. Layers of different flavours and textures compacted into one incredibly modish and delicious treat.
The idea for this recipe first came to me after the invention of my smores recipe series and after buying a new brownie pan I knew I had to come up with the recipe.
First a biscuit base made super easily with crushed digestives and melted butter and on top of that a thick layer of super easy and fudgey brownie made without the need for gluten free flour so perfect for when you don't have a lot of ingredients in! And then to finish a top layer of toasted marshmallows super melty and with that iconic toasted flavour.
So if you're craving smores or just can't decide between having biscuits or brownie I present to you my solution. But before we get into the recepie here are some answers to some common questions you might have...
Is this recipe dairy free?
No but with a few simple swaps you can make it dairy free!
Ensure that your digestive biscuits are dairy free
Swap the butter for a hard dairy free butter alternative
Use a dairy free chocolate
Is this recipe Vegan?
No its not but there are a few switches you could make to try to make it vegan. Do all the changes listed above to make this a dairy free brownie and then use an egg replacement such as:
A flax egg
A chia egg
Shop bought egg replacement
Mashed banana
Is this recipe gluten free?
Yes of course it is! This ones naturally gluten free as no special gluten free flour is needed so ensure you use gluten free digestive biscuits and you will be good to go! Don't worry though I've tried this recpie on my non gluten free friends and no one could tell the difference!
I haven't yet tried making this vegan so if you try it share a picture on instgram and tag me @rubysgfkitchen to let me know how it goes!
Do you need any special equipment?

INGREDIENTS
FOR THE BASE
140g Gluten free digestive biscuits
100g Butter, melted
FOR THE BROWNIE
170g Butter, melted
250g Chocolate, melted
175g Caster sugar
3 Eggs
150g Ground Almonds
3 Tablespoons Nutella
TO DECORATE
1 Bag of marshmallows
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180 Fan and line a brownie tin with greaseproof paper.
Place the Biscuits in a sealable plastic bag and bash them to a large crumbs with a wooden spoon. Then place the crushed biscuits in a bowl and mix with your melted butter. Pour the contents of the bowl into tin and squash down until an even layer on the bottom of the tin forms. Place the tin in the freezer whilst you prepare the brownie.
In a bowl mix the butter and chocolate together and then crack in the eggs and add the Nutella and whisk until a smooth mixture forms.
With a spatula or wooden spoon fold in the sugar and ground almonds. Pour the Brownie mixture into the tin once the base is firm and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the brownie has darkened in couler and crisped around the edges (If the brownie darkens but still looks more like a batter cover the top of the tin with tinfoil to prevent it burning whilst it finishes to cook).
At this stage place an even layer of marshmallows over the top of the brownie and place the brownie back in the oven until the marshmallow has browned for 5-10 minutes.
Leave the brownie in the tin to fully cool and then take out and slice to enjoy!
Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy baking and give these brownies a try!
Happy Baking,
