You will make rich, fudgy brownies that taste exactly like your favorite mug of hot chocolate. We swirl in marshmallows for extra gooeyness and top them with toasted marshmallows for the perfect finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup hot chocolate mix (instant type)
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (for batter)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugar until combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and hot chocolate mix.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the 1/2 cup of mini marshmallows meant for the batter.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows evenly over the top.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The edges should look set, and a toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  9. Remove the pan from the oven. If you want the top marshmallows toasted, place the pan under a preheated broiler for 30 to 60 seconds, watching constantly to prevent burning.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and slicing. This helps them set into a fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Jacob suggests substituting half the all-purpose flour with cake flour for an even more tender crumb.
  • For an intense chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
  • Cooling the brownies completely before slicing is crucial for achieving a dense, fudgy texture.
  • If you do not have a broiler, you can use a kitchen torch to toast the top marshmallows.
