Step‑by‑Step Instructions for S’mores Brownies on a Stick

Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Batter
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the Betty Crocker™ Delights Supreme Original Brownie Mix with the specified water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir the mixture vigorously for about 50 strokes until smooth and well-combined, ensuring no dry mix remains. This will create a rich batter that will be the base of your S’mores Brownies on a Stick.

Step 2: Bake the Brownies
Pour the brownie batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread it evenly using a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Keep an eye on them as they bake; you want them fudgy but cooked through. Once done, let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.

Step 3: Cut and Insert Sticks
After the brownies have cooled, use a sharp knife to cut them into squares or rectangles, depending on your preferred size. Take a craft stick and gently insert it into each brownie piece, pushing it halfway through to ensure stability. This makes your S’mores Brownies on a Stick easy to hold and enjoy, adding to the fun of this delightful summer treat.

Step 4: Prepare the Marshmallow Dip
In a microwave-safe bowl, scoop out the marshmallow creme. Heat it in the microwave on 50% power for about 20-30 seconds, then stir. If the consistency is still too thick, continue heating in short 10-second intervals until it becomes smooth and easy to dip. This creamy dip will perfectly complement the rich brownies.

Step 5: Assemble the Brownie Treats
Take each brownie on a stick and dip it into the warm marshmallow creme, making sure to coat it generously. After dipping, roll the brownie in the crushed graham crackers to create that classic s’mores texture. The combination of the gooey dip and crunchy graham crackers will elevate your S’mores Brownies on a Stick to a new level of deliciousness.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Arrange your S’mores Brownies on a Stick on a serving platter. For an extra touch, consider drizzling any remaining marshmallow creme over the top or sprinkling more graham cracker crumbs. These delightful treats are best served fresh, so enjoy them immediately at picnics, gatherings, or whenever you crave a bit of nostalgia wrapped in chocolatey goodness!
