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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
