Description
Bake these fudgy brownies that taste just like a rich cup of hot chocolate. They feature a marshmallow swirl inside and a toasted marshmallow topping for the ultimate cozy treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup hot cocoa mix (powdered)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini marshmallows, for swirling
- 1 cup large marshmallows, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar together until fully combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, hot cocoa mix, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the batter.
- Top with the remaining batter, spreading carefully.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Place the large marshmallows evenly over the top of the hot brownies.
- Return the pan to the oven for 2-4 minutes, watching closely, until the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted.
- Let the brownies cool completely before lifting them out using the parchment overhang and cutting into squares.
Notes
- For the fudgiest results, use high-quality cocoa powder.
- You can skip the toasted topping if you prefer a simpler finish.
- Cooling the brownies completely helps them set properly for clean cuts.
