Ingredients
Scale
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat.
Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted butter until combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle 1 cup of the mini marshmallows evenly over the batter layer.
Top with the remaining batter, spreading gently over the marshmallows.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of marshmallows over the top layer.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
Cut into squares.
Notes
For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them by about 2 minutes.
Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
If you prefer a chewier texture, use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour.
