Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups marshmallow fluff
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat. Stir constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until fully incorporated.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once the brownies have cooled, spread an even layer of marshmallow fluff (about 2 cups) over the top. Use a spatula to smooth it out.
To prepare the chocolate glaze, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the 1.5 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Pour the chocolate glaze over the marshmallow layer, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour, or until the glaze is set.
Once chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies from the pan. Slice into 16 squares and serve. Enjoy!
