 Crispy-brownie-edge lovers, please come to the front of the line. This heavenly concoction is the recipe for you. Equally at home on a grill or cooked over campfire coals, this cast-iron brownie, packed with marshmallow, caramel, and salted almond gets all kinds of crispy on the edges, but stays gooey and delicious on the inside. Look out, s'mores!

Ingredients:

1/3 c. (2/3 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for skillet
1 (18-ounce) box double-chocolate brownie mix
1/4 c. whole milk
1 large egg, beaten
1 c. miniature marshmallows

1/2 c. chopped roasted, salted almonds
20 caramel candies, unwrapped
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Directions:
Heat a campfire or charcoal grill to medium. Butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Stir together butter, brownie mix, milk, egg, marshmallows, and almonds in a bowl. 

Transfer to prepared skillet. Arrange caramel candies on top. Place skillet directly over 7 warm coals. Cover with a second 10-inch cast-iron skillet, and place 16 warm coals over top.

Cook, rotating the pan three times, until a tooth-pick inserted in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs clinging, 25 to 30 minutes; cool 10 minutes. Serve with ice cream.
