Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup heavy cream (for drizzling)

How to Make Chocolate Marshmallow Brownies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
8. Remove the brownies from the oven and immediately sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed and just starting to turn golden.
9. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Drizzle the heavy cream over the marshmallow layer for added richness.
10. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the butter is fully melted but not bubbling to avoid overcooking the brownies.
• Do not overmix the batter; mix until just combined for fudgy brownies.
• For an extra touch, use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows after baking for a deeper flavor.

Easy Variations

• Add chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the brownie batter for added crunch.
• Swirl in caramel sauce before baking for a caramel-chocolate flavor.
• Substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate for a richer taste.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing
• Fresh berries for a tart contrast
• A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for extra indulgence
• A dollop of whipped cream to lighten the dessert
