Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
- 0.75 cup dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Melt the butter and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Using a spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then quickly remove the pan and evenly sprinkle the mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, and dark chocolate chunks across the surface of the partially cooked brownies.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are lightly golden and the edges of the brownies are set.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before using the parchment paper to lift them out.
Cut into 12 squares or desired serving size and enjoy your decadent Rocky Road Brownies!
