Description

Super fudgy, ultra‑chocolatey brownies studded with mini marshmallow bits—dessert in brownie form that tastes like sipping hot cocoa, rich, dense, cozy, and perfect for chilly days.


Ingredients

3 large eggs

1 cup all‑purpose flour

1 ¼ cups bittersweet chocolate chips (good quality)

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 ¼ cups granulated sugar

½ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

½ cup unsalted butter

⅝ cup mini marshmallow bits


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8‑inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt butter and chocolate chips over low heat. Stir in cocoa powder and let mixture cool slightly.
  3. Whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla until frothy. Stir in the cooled chocolate mixture.
  4. Gently fold in flour and salt until just combined.
  5. Fold in marshmallow bits, then pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle extra marshmallows on top.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until top is shiny, edges are firm, and center has a slight wobble.
  7. Let brownies cool completely before slicing to preserve their fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
  • Stir in extra chocolate chips or chunks for more gooey chocolate.
  • Add 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder for deeper chocolate flavor.
  • Double the recipe for a 9×13‑inch pan; bake about 30 minutes.
