Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
- In a small heavy saucepan over very low heat, stir together butter and unsweetened chocolate until melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add vanilla extract to the egg mixture.
- Pour the egg mixture into the melted chocolate mixture and mix well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Melt milk chocolate and then swirl it into the brownie batter.
- Drop marshmallow topping and mini marshmallows onto the batter and swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool before slicing and serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of unsweetened chocolate. If you want a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing, and try to swirl the marshmallow topping gently to avoid overmixing the batter. This recipe is a delightful twist on American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For a fun twist, try serving with a side of Jeremiah Sweeny'S Broccoli Soup for a unique contrast of flavors in a meal.

Store leftover Marble Marshmallow Brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place a brownie in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until warm and gooey, enhancing the marshmallow's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use chocolate chips instead of unsweetened chocolate?
Yes, you can substitute unsweetened chocolate with an equal amount of chocolate chips. However, reduce the sugar in the recipe slightly since chocolate chips are usually sweetened. Adjust to your taste, ensuring the brownies maintain their rich flavor.
What can I use if I don't have mini marshmallows?
If mini marshmallows are unavailable, you can chop regular marshmallows into smaller pieces or use marshmallow fluff as a substitute. Just ensure it's swirled evenly into the batter for that delightful marbled look and texture.
How can I make these brownies more chocolaty?
To amplify the chocolate flavor, increase the amount of unsweetened chocolate or add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients. You could also mix in chocolate chips into the batter for an extra chocolaty bite, enhancing the overall richness of these brownies.
