Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams mini marshmallows
- 80 grams chopped pecans or walnuts
- 100 grams dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well to incorporate after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract, then slowly mix in the slightly cooled chocolate mixture until smooth and glossy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the brownies from the oven and immediately sprinkle the mini marshmallows, chopped pecans or walnuts, and dark chocolate chunks evenly over the top.
Return the pan to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the marshmallows are slightly puffed and toasted.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
