Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup mini marshmallows
1/4 cup chocolate sauce or melted chocolate
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan well.
2. Melt the butter, then whisk it with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is glossy and combined.
4. Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just mixed.
5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
6. Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft.
8. Top each brownie bite with mini marshmallows and bake for 2 to 3 more minutes, until puffed.
9. Let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 8 to 10 minutes, then carefully remove them.
10. Drizzle with chocolate sauce or melted chocolate and dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Do not overbake the brownie bites. Pull them from the oven when the centers still look slightly soft, because they will continue to set as they cool and stay fudgy.
