Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened (unsalted recommended)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Cocoa and Oil: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil and 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring no lumps of cocoa remain.
  3. Add Butter and Sugar: Add the softened butter to the cocoa-oil mixture and blend until creamy. Then stir in the granulated sugar evenly.
  4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to incorporate air and combine smoothly. Stir in the vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt, being careful not to overmix to keep the brownies tender and soft.
  6. Bake Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into the greased 9×13-inch pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Add Marshmallows: Remove the brownies from the oven and evenly sprinkle 2 cups of mini marshmallows on top. Return the pan to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until marshmallows are slightly melted and gooey.
  8. Cool Completely: Remove the brownies from the oven again and allow them to cool completely in the pan at room temperature. This step helps the brownies set for easier frosting application.
  9. Prepare Frosting: In a separate mixing bowl, combine melted butter, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, evaporated milk, and 2 cups powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
  10. Adjust Frosting Consistency: Gradually add the remaining powdered sugar while mixing until the frosting reaches your desired thickness for spreading.
  11. Frost Brownies: Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies using a spatula or knife to create a rich, chocolaty layer.
  12. Serve: Cut the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy the gooey, decadent layers and creamy frosting.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter once flour is added to maintain moist brownies.
  • For extra gooey marshmallows, watch them carefully in the oven to prevent burning.
  • Use unsalted butter to better control the salt content in the recipe.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before frosting to avoid melting the frosting.
  • Store covered at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
