Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 package graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Coat a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray and create an even graham cracker foundation, filling all spaces with broken pieces.
- Batter Creation: Melt butter and blend with granulated sugar until smooth. Incorporate cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, vanilla extract, and eggs, whisking into a glossy, uniform mixture.
- Mixing Technique: Gently fold all-purpose flour into the batter, avoiding overmixing. Distribute marshmallows evenly throughout the mixture, ensuring consistent coverage.
- Baking Process: Transfer batter to prepared pan, spreading carefully to reach all corners. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 28-32 minutes until a toothpick reveals minimal moist crumbs.
- Marshmallow Topping: Immediately after removing from oven, scatter additional mini marshmallows across the hot surface, creating a golden, melted layer.
- Cooling and Setting: Allow brownies to cool completely at room temperature for 1-2 hours. For precise cutting, refrigerate the pan to firm the dessert.
- Serving Preparation: Lift brownies from pan using parchment paper and transfer to a cutting board. Use a hot water-cleaned knife to slice into clean, uniform squares.
Notes
- Prevent Marshmallow Burning: Watch marshmallows closely during final topping to ensure golden brown color without charring, which can create bitter taste.
- Achieve Perfect Texture: Remove brownies from oven when toothpick shows moist crumbs to maintain dense, fudgy consistency instead of dry, crumbly texture.
- Optimize Cutting Technique: Wiping knife with hot water between cuts prevents sticky marshmallow residue and creates clean, professional-looking brownie squares.
- Control Cooling Process: Allow brownies to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate briefly to help set and make cutting easier without compromising rich, moist texture.
