Ingredients
Ingredients
unsweetened chocolate
2 ounces (chopped)
semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup
unsalted butter
1/2 cup (cubed)
large eggs
2 (beaten)
granulated sugar
1 cup
vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
all-purpose flour
1/2 cup
salt
1/4 teaspoon
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
mini marshmallows
1 cup
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
2
In a saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped unsweetened chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and cubed butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the beaten eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.
4
Slowly pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to ensure a smooth batter.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
6
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
7
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
8
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack completely before cutting them into squares.
