S'more Brownies (Rachel Ray)

1 box brownie mix (13X9 size)
1 c. chocoloate chips
1 c. graham cracker crumbs - roughly crushed
12 whole marshmallows and 6 cut into small pieces

Preheat oven to 350.
Prepare brownie mix according to directions, replacing water with milk. Mix in chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers and cut up marshmallows.

Pour into greased 13 X 9 pan and place the twelve whole marshmallows on top. Bake for 25 minutes - or until moist crumbs stick to a toothpick inserted in the middle. These are best eaten when completely cooled, but if you want to dig in while still warm, cute with knife dipped in hot water to get a clean cut. Store tightly wrapped in foil.
