Scale
- 1 stick butter
- 6 oz chocolate chips
- 1 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup hot coco powder (about 2 packets)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup flour
- 12 oz marshmallow fluff
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prep a 11×9 baking pan by buttering the pan and lining the parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chocolate chips. Remove sauce pan from heat until it is just melted.
- Remove from heat and whisk in sugar and eggs, one at a time. Pour into a medium bowl and mix in cocoa powder and salt. Next add in flour and fold into the batter with a spatula until the flour is fully mixed in.
- Pour 1/2 the batter into pan and spread into an even layer. Place dollops of marshmallow fluff over the top of the batter. Scoop out dollops of the remaining batter to put over marshmallow fluff. Gently spread batter in an even layer to cover marshmallow fluff.
- Place in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until baked through. Use a toothpick or fork to test the doneness of the brownies. If your toothpick removes clean, the brownies are done. If not finished cooking, place back in the oven for 3-5 more minutes increments.
- Remove from oven and let the brownies cool for 10-15 minutes.
