Supporting this cause, a portion of all proceeds from the sales of this book will be donated to the ACLU.

Ingredients
1 cup (8 oz/250 g) unsalted butter
10 ounces (315 g) bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup (8 oz/250 g) granulated sugar
¾ cup (6 oz/185 g) light brown sugar, firmly packed
4 large eggs
2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1⅓ cups (5½ oz/170 g) cake flour
3 tablespoons natural cocoa powder
About 6 graham crackers, roughly crumbled
About 12 jumbo marshmallows
Candy-coated chocolates, for topping

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Generously butter a 9-by-13-inch (23-by-33-cm) baking dish.

In a saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring often, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the brown sugar and the granulated sugar. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Whisk in the vanilla and salt.

Sift the flour and cocoa over the chocolate mixture and, using a rubber spatula, stir until just blended. Fold in the graham crackers. Pour into the prepared dish and spread evenly. Top with the marshmallows.

Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost completely clean, 30–35 minutes. Let cool in the dish on a wire rack, then cut into 12 large squares and top with red and blue candy-coated chocolates.
