Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 and 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or almonds
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease it.
2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in granulated and brown sugars until combined and slightly cooled.
3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until glossy.
4. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold until just combined.
5. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped nuts evenly.
6. Pour half the batter into the pan. Add a layer of mini marshmallows. Top with the remaining batter and smooth.
7. Press extra marshmallows and chocolate chips on top for presentation.
8. Bake for 30–35 minutes. The center should have moist crumbs on a toothpick.
9. Cool in the pan for at least 1 hour. Lift with parchment and slice into squares.
Notes
Use room-temperature eggs to help the batter mix more smoothly and rise evenly.
Don’t overbake! Remove when a toothpick shows moist crumbs for fudgy results.
Cool completely before slicing for the cleanest cuts and best texture.
