Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for pan

1 bag (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

3/4 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)

1 cup miniature marshmallows

1/2 cup chopped nuts, such as cashews, pecans, or walnuts

      Cook's Notes

To prevent toppings from sinking into the batter, sprinkle them on after brownies are baked. An extra 5 minutes in the oven melts the topping together for easy slicing.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for pan
  • 1 bag (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts, such as cashews, pecans, or walnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch-square baking pan. Line bottom with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides; butter paper.

In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water, combine butter and 1 cup chocolate chips. Heat, stirring occasionally, just until melted, 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove mixture from heat; stir in sugars and salt, then eggs, and finally flour, stirring just until combined. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 30 to 35 minutes.

Remove from oven, and sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips, then marshmallows and nuts. Bake until chocolate is shiny and marshmallows are puffed, about 5 minutes. Cool completely in pan. Using paper overhang, lift cake onto a work surface; cut into 16 squares.

      Cook's Notes

To prevent toppings from sinking into the batter, sprinkle them on after brownies are baked. An extra 5 minutes in the oven melts the topping together for easy slicing.

                Nearly all American recipes (for cakes and cookies) they are much too sweet for Europeans palates. I would suggest that two cups of sugar is too much and only using chocolate chips instead of unsweetened cocoa powder (at least a third of a cup) would make this recipe much better. The marshmallows are the "sweet finish" required, but with this amount of sugar and only pure sweetened chocolate the result is cloying.

                I use this decadent mixture to make amazing mini- brownie muffins. By pouring the batter in small muffin moulds, a lot of that crispy crust covers every bite.  Yummm... and I also think popping these one-bite wonders in the toaster/microwave for a few seconds/minutes enhances the chocolaty goodness considerably.

                There's one part that leaves me baffled. In step number 2, do we put a saucepan with boiling water on a bowl and add the butter and chocolate inside?

                I'm giving the recipe a shot now I like the 8" pan (small family) and am used to a similar recipe
                If you want this recipe as a 9X13, Hershey's Chipits has a very similar recipe on the back, with  a chocolate glaze. Mini M

                I tried the suggestion of graham crackers instead of nuts and thought it was delicious.  The only problem for me was that the graham crackers softened by the next day.  The brownies themselves were good and easy but not out of this world.

                Nuts are pretty much a "no, no" with some members of my family.  I substituted coarsely broken graham crackers for Smores Brownies!

                These brownies are delicious and so easy to make.  I don't know why anyone would use a box mix when these are so simple and taste so much better!  The brownie alone is a great base for many other toppings too.  Yummy!

                I sometimes use a good box brownie mix instead of making them from scratch.  I also add a handful of chocolate chips to the batter.  When done, I add chocolate chips, mini marshmallows and walnuts on top.  Pop into the oven until the marshmallows brown.  Real gooey and decadent!

                Those were easy to make and the children loves it. It has rich taste of chocolate and the marshmallow is an added complement to it. I've made those for my child's school celebration.

                These are really easy and wonderfully decadent. Couldn't find white mini marshmallows, so I just cut up the large ones and they turned out perfect. I also found the 16 serving too ambitious and whittled it down to 12.

                The recipe I'm used to do is pretty similar, except that we use chocolate squares instead of chocolate chips and vegetable oil instead of butter, and that chocolate is melted in the heating oven. This one looks a little longer to prepare, but is still an interesting alternative.
