S’mores get an update with these Toasted Marshmallow Brownies as they are made healthier with oats, applesauce, two types of chocolate and then sit on top of cinnamon sugar pretzels!

Dear Monday,
Why must you want to ruin our lives? Why must you make my alarm clock sound like nails on a chalk board? Why must you make my bed feel so warm? Why must you make the weather man say that its a high of 15 degrees today just knowing I haven’t gotten my new pair of Uggs yet?
Why must you make the clock go by at snail speed? And spill my lunch on myself so I look socially unacceptable? With no apologies either.
The nerve.
But guess what Monday, I am here loaded with chocolate. Not one but two types. With puffy little marshmallow pillows. And sweet n salty pretzels. I am fully armed and highly suggest you rethink your Monday game plan.
A while ago I teased you all with this pic. Oh the horror!
So today, we are going to combat Monday with these not so ordinary brownies. And no they are not illegal…they are healthier brownies! Made with oats, applesauce, cocoa powder , chocolate chips and greek yogurt to ensure they are moist and rich! And we all remember my four ingredient cinnamon sugar pretzels right? Well they were dying to make a comeback so the brownies sit on bed of sweet and salty pretzels. Then to round up my updated s’mores idea, miniature marshmallows are thrown on top during the last few minutes of baking to toast and get all melty. Just like when sitting at a campfire!
Since I care about you, make sure you wait until they have completely cooled so you don’t burn your mouth. Not…dive in!
