Equipment
- medium saucepan
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk or spatula
- measuring cups and spoons
- 9x13 inch baking pan
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate morsels
- 1 ½ cups hot chocolate mix not sugar free
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Whisk in the hot chocolate mix until fully blended.
- Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
- Gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Sprinkle mini marshmallows over the top and return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, just until puffed and lightly golden.
- Cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Don’t overbake; slightly underdone brownies stay fudgier.
- Want extra toasted marshmallows? Broil for 30 to 60 seconds, watching closely.
- Add chocolate chips or crushed peppermint for a festive twist.
