Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups (360 milliliters) dark cocoa powder
- 2 cups (400 grams) white sugar
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters) vegetable oil
- ½ cup (85 grams) chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Marshmallow Layer:
- 1 bag mini marshmallows (10.5 ounces or 5.5 cups, 298 grams)
- 2 cups (340 grams) chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
- 1 ¼ cups (300 grams) peanut butter
- 5 tablespoons (71 grams) butter
- 3 cups (85 grams) Rice Krispies (gluten-free if needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by warming the oven to 350°F and lightly coating a 9×13 inch pan with grease, ensuring easy brownie removal.
- Create a smooth chocolate base by vigorously mixing sugar and vegetable oil, then incorporating eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes glossy and well-integrated.
- Introduce dark cocoa powder and salt into the liquid mixture, stirring until a uniform chocolatey consistency develops, then gently fold in chocolate chips for added texture.
- Transfer the prepared batter into the greased pan, spreading it evenly and baking for approximately 17 minutes until the surface appears set but slightly moist.
- Extract the partially baked brownies and generously blanket the surface with mini marshmallows, returning to the oven for an additional 8 minutes to achieve a lightly caramelized marshmallow layer.
- While the marshmallow-topped brownies cool, craft the crunchy topping by melting chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring between brief heating intervals.
- Incorporate Rice Krispies into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring each cereal piece is thoroughly coated with the rich, glossy chocolate blend.
- Once the marshmallow layer has cooled and set, delicately spread the chocolate-coated Rice Krispies mixture across the surface, creating an even, crunchy topping.
- Allow the entire dessert to cool completely at room temperature, which helps the layers solidify and makes precise cutting easier.
- Slice into square portions, revealing the decadent layers of fudgy brownie, pillowy marshmallow, and crisp chocolate-covered cereal topping.
