Ingredients

  • 2 cups White granulated sugar
  • 3 Large eggs
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Oil (canola or vegetable)
  • 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (Use dutch process cocoa powder)
  • 1 1/2 TBSP Cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Marshmallow creme

How to Make Marshmallow Brownies

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F. Prepare a 9×9-inch baking pan by spraying it with nonstick spray. Line the bottom and two sides of the pan with parchment paper, then spray again for easy removal later.

Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, sift together:
3/4 cup All-purpose flour
1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 TBSP Cornstarch

Add in:
1/2 tsp Salt

Set aside once mixed.

Step 3: Mix Sugar and Eggs

Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, beat together:
2 cups White granulated sugar
3 Large eggs
1 Egg yolk

Continue mixing on high speed for about 5 minutes until pale in color. While it mixes, melt your butter in the microwave and let it cool slightly.

Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients

Add to the egg mixture:
1/2 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
1/2 cup Oil (canola or vegetable)
2 tsp Pure vanilla extract

Mix on low speed until combined.

Step 5: Combine Dry Ingredients

Gradually add in the dry ingredients from Step 2. Mix on low speed until just combined. Gently fold in:
1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Step 6: Add Marshmallow Fluff

Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan. In a separate bowl, melt:
1 cup Marshmallow creme

Microwave for about 20-30 seconds until soft. Use a teaspoon to dollop the melted marshmallow fluff over the brownie batter. Lightly swirl using a butter knife for that beautiful marbled effect.

Step 7: Bake

Bake your brownies for about 45–55 minutes. They are done when you can insert a toothpick and it comes out slightly wet but not covered in batter. If necessary, extend baking time by an additional 5 minutes if more batter sticks to the toothpick.

Step 8: Cool

Once baked, allow your brownies to cool completely on a cooling rack before cutting them into squares and serving them up!

How to Perfect Marshmallow Brownies

Achieving the perfect marshmallow brownies is all about precision and attention to detail. Here are some tips to ensure your brownies come out fudgy and delicious every time.

  • Use Quality Ingredients: High-quality chocolate and cocoa powder will enhance the flavor of your brownies significantly.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined when adding dry ingredients; overmixing can make your brownies tough.
  • Check Oven Temperature: Ensure your oven is calibrated correctly since baking times may vary due to temperature discrepancies.
  • Let Cool Completely: Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting; this helps maintain their fudgy texture.

Serving marshmallow brownies can be even more enjoyable with complementary side dishes. Below are some great options that pair well with these gooey treats.

  1. Vanilla Ice Cream: A classic pairing that balances the richness of the brownie.
  2. Chocolate Mousse: The lightness of mousse complements the dense brownie perfectly.
  3. Fruit Salad: A refreshing mix of seasonal fruits brings brightness alongside the sweet brownies.
  4. Caramel Sauce: Drizzling caramel adds a sweet, buttery taste that enhances each bite.
  5. Coffee or Espresso: A strong cup of coffee cuts through sweetness and enriches flavors.
  6. Cheesecake Bites: Mini cheesecake bites provide a creamy contrast to the chewy texture of the brownies.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When making marshmallow brownies, it’s easy to make some common mistakes. Here are a few to watch out for.

  • Overmixing the batter – Be careful not to overmix once you add the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined to keep your brownies fudgy.
  • Incorrect oven temperature – Ensure your oven is preheated properly. An incorrect temperature can lead to uneven baking.
  • Not measuring ingredients accurately – Use proper measuring cups and spoons. Accurate measurements are key for perfect results.
  • Skipping the cooling step – Allow your brownies to cool completely before cutting them. This helps them set and makes slicing easier.
  • Using low-quality chocolate – High-quality chocolate chips will enhance the flavor. Opt for semi-sweet or dark chocolate for the best taste.
