Flourless Marshmallow Crunch Brownies Recipe
Ingredients
For the Brownies:
- 2 cups white sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups dark cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
For the Topping:
- 1 bag mini marshmallows (10.5 oz. or 5.5 cups)
- 2 cups chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
- 1 1/4 cups peanut butter
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 3 cups Rice Krispies (gluten-free if needed)
Directions
- Brownie Base:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and vegetable oil. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract for about two minutes.
- Stir in the dark cocoa powder and salt until the mixture is smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 17 minutes.
- Marshmallow Layer:
- Remove the brownies from the oven and cover the top with mini marshmallows. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 8 minutes, or until the marshmallows are slightly golden. Allow the brownies to cool.
- Crunchy Topping:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth.
- Fold in the Rice Krispies, ensuring they are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
- Spread this topping evenly over the cooled brownies with marshmallows.
- Serving:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares. This will ensure that the layers set properly and make for easier slicing.
