Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter and sugar. Mix well, then add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle mini marshmallows and chocolate chips evenly over the baked layer. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the marshmallows and chocolate chips.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- While the brownies are baking, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until simmering. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until melted and smooth to create the ganache.
- Once brownies are done, let them cool for about 10 minutes before pouring the ganache over the top. Allow to set before slicing into squares.
