Mini S’Mores Brownies

• FOR THE BROWNIES:
• 6 Mini Ready Graham Cracker Crusts (I Used Keebler)
• 1/4 cups Unsalted Butter, melted
• 3/4 cups Granulated Sugar
• 3/4 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 1 Egg
• 1/4 cups Plus 2 Tablespoons, All-purpose Flour
• 1/4 cups Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• Pinch Of Kosher Salt (sea Or Table Salt Is Fine Too!)
• 1 teaspoon Coffee Granules Or Espresso Powder (optional)
• 1 bar (4.4 Oz. Size) Milk Chocolate, Chopped Into Small Pieces
• FOR THE MERINGUE:
• 3 Egg Whites
• 3/4 cups Granulated Sugar

1. Preheat oven to 325u0b0F and place mini crusts on a baking sheet.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar, and vanilla. Add egg and whisk to combine.
3. In a small bowl (I actually used a cereal bowl!), whisk flour, cocoa powder, salt, and coffee granules if using. Gradually add to wet ingredients, whisking (or stirring) briefly after each addition until just combined. Using a rubber spatula, stir in chopped chocolate.
4. Divide batter evenly between crusts and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick/tester comes out with moist crumbs attached.
5. Transfer brownies to a cooling rack and let cool completely. Once brownies are cool, make meringue.
6. For the meringue:
7. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk egg whites and sugar.
8. Place bowl over a pan of simmering water (make sure bowl does not touch water) and whisk until mixture reaches a temperature of 160u0b0F, or until sugar is completely dissolved and egg whites are warm to the touch, about 3-5 minutes.
9. Transfer bowl to stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk on high speed until stiff peaks form and mixture is thick, glossy, and marshmallow-like in texture, about 5 minutes.
10. Add meringue by placing mounds on each brownie and swirling around with a spoon. Using a kitchen torch, brown/toast the meringue. Alternatively, you can place under the broiler for about 30 seconds, until browned.
11. Serve immediately (recommended!) or place in fridge and bring out 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving to allow the brownies to come to room temperature. Enjoy!
