Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 226 g) melted unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 ¼ cups (250 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (165 g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ cup (85 g) chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)
- 8–10 graham crackers, broken into large pieces
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
- 4 oz (113 g) chopped milk chocolate (or ½ cup chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease lightly to prevent adhesion.
- Sugar Fusion: Whisk melted butter with granulated and brown sugars until achieving a silky, homogeneous texture that gleams with richness.
- Wet Ingredient Integration: Blend eggs and vanilla extract into the sugar mixture, creating a smooth, glossy foundation for the brownies.
- Dry Ingredient Combination: Sift flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl, eliminating potential lumps and ensuring uniform distribution.
- Batter Assembly: Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients with minimal stirring, preserving the delicate texture while maintaining a consistent mixture.
- Chocolate Enhancement: Gently incorporate chocolate chips throughout the batter, distributing them evenly without overworking the mixture.
- Baking Process: Spread the batter uniformly in the prepared dish and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center reveals moist crumbs.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow brownies to cool slightly in the pan before slicing into delectable squares, ready to be enjoyed.
Notes
- Control Mixing Technique: Minimize stirring when combining wet and dry ingredients to prevent tough, dense brownies; fold gently until just incorporated for a tender, soft texture.
- Chocolate Chip Distribution: Sprinkle chocolate chips lightly and fold minimally to prevent sinking to the bottom and ensure even flavor throughout the brownie.
- Prevent Overbaking: Watch brownies closely and remove when a toothpick has moist crumbs to maintain a fudgy, rich center; slight underbaking ensures a moist, decadent dessert.
- Temperature Precision: Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation and consistent batter texture, which helps achieve uniform brownie consistency and prevents potential ingredient separation.
