So I was feeling kind of woogy all day today and was craving something sweet by the time I got home. And I'm the kind of person who always gives in to cravings. I remembered that Kathryn had given me various flavoured sprinkles, one of which was S'mores. I thought they might be good on some brownies, so I whipped up a batch. Because they were s'mores brownies and I knew I had marshmallows, I thought I'd throw some in (pro tip: if you need to turn marshmallows into marshmallow pieces, scissors are the way to go). I also had graham crackers, but was too lazy to open the box. After I mixed in my marshmallow pieces and was greasing the pan, I realized that melted marshmallows on the pan would likely be one heck of a mess. Did I think better of my plan? NO! I would not be the cavalier baker if I thought better of things. I brazenly dumped my batter into the pan. I did make the concession of moving the marshmallow chunks off the very edges so they weren't touching the pan. I figured, since they're mostly air, they'd float and sticking to the bottom wouldn't be an issue. I then sprinkled the whole thing with Kathryn's sprinkles (which were basically pure sugar but also pure delicious) and then into the oven it went.
I pulled them out to find that the marshmallows had basically just melted into the brownies (as I figured they would, once I stopped and thought about it once they were in the oven). No real mess, though. And still good. Basically just really sweet brownies. Were I to do it again - and, why not, right? - I would probably not be lazy and go ahead and pull out the graham crackers and break some up and put them into the batter, topping the whole mess with some marshmallows most of the way through baking, so they retain some integrity. Maybe even a sprinkle of chocolate chips on top, to melt in with the marshmallows. Mmmm. Now I want to try another batch!

are we going to get a chance to taste those!!!!!!
