Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: Melt the butter and semisweet chocolate chips together until smooth and glossy, using a microwave or double boiler. Whisk in the sugar and eggs until fully combined into a smooth, thick mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the aroma.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients just until combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the brownies fudgy.
  3. Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined baking pan, spreading evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, until edges are set but the center remains slightly soft for that gooey texture.
  4. Add marshmallow topping: After the brownies have cooled slightly, evenly scatter mini marshmallows over the surface. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes or broil briefly until marshmallows puff and turn golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  5. Garnish with nuts: Sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts over the toasted marshmallows. Allow the brownies to cool completely for easier slicing and to set the toppings.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for richer, smoother brownies.
  • Remove brownies from oven while the center is still a bit soft to maintain fudginess.
  • Cool completely before slicing to achieve clean cuts without crumbling.
  • Toast nuts lightly before topping to enhance their flavor and crunch.
  • Use fresh mini marshmallows for an even melt and perfect gooey topping.
