Marshmallow brownies

“You would be amazed by what you can give up, lose, or break, and yet still be a person who gets happy over brownies.”- Augustan Burroughs.

Another brownie recipe ! I will not tire of brownies . Making them or eating them . Ever .

By themselves, these are fudgy bites of chocolate bliss. Brownies worthy of “getting-over-breakover” status ! Top them with some marshmallows and they are simply out of this world! Ofcourse the marshmallows get toasted as the brownies bake . Melty marshmallows and fudgy chocolate are definitely a match to reckon with!

I used medium sized marshmallows spaced out on top and then drizzled some more batter on top , but you can just throw on loads of mini marshmallows and have a two – layered brownie .

But if you like your treats neat and clean , with prim and proper edges – please look away ! These are unapologetically uneven and messy . But sooooooo good!

Marshmallow brownies

Chewy fudgy brownies topped with toasted melty marshmallows!

Ingredients
  

  • 112 grams or 1/2 cups unsalted butter
  • 200 grams or 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Eggs
  • 90 grams or 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 40 grams or 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 25 marshmallows medium sized

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180 C/ 350 F. Line a 8 x8 inch square baking pan with foil or parchment so that it is longer than the edges of the pan atleast on two opposite sides.
  • Melt the butter
  • Whisk in the sugar
  • Whisk in the eggs, one by one , followed by the vanilla extract.
  • Add the flour, cocoa and salt and whisk until combined.
  • Spread almost all the batter in your prepared baking pan.
  • Press the marshmallows gently into the batter, spacing them evenly . They should be about halfway into the batter.Spread remaining batter on top.
  • Bake at 180 C/ 350 F for 25-28 minutes. The top will be browned and a toothpick inserted will have few moist crumbs.
  • Cool completely in pan, lift out and slice .

Notes

These can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-4 days
If you see the tops of the marshmallows browning too much , cover the top loosely with aluminium pan for the remainder of the baking.
Don't worry , if the marshmallows swell up during baking, they ll settle down as they cool.
Slice when chilled for the cleanest cuts.
If you want to make homemade marshmallows , you'll love my easy corn syrup and glucose free recipe!

A good batch of brownies are my undoing. So if I say that these are in a league of their own , you HAVE to take my word for it ! Toasty marshmallows atop chewy fudgy brownies – fantastic !
