Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder

Topping Ingredients

  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips
  • 2 cups Marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Dish: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Make the Base: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually add the flour and cocoa powder, stirring until just combined.
  3. Bake the Base: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool for a few minutes.
  4. Add the Marshmallow Layer: Once the base is slightly cooled, sprinkle the chocolate chips and marshmallows evenly over the top. Return the dish to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed and golden.
  5. Cool and Cut: After baking, let the bars cool completely in the dish before cutting them into squares. This helps the layers set nicely, making them easier to slice.

Notes

  • Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
  • Keep an eye on the oven—overbaking can lead to dry bars.
  • Give your bars enough time to cool for easier cutting.
  • Invest in good-quality chocolate for the best flavor in your bars.
  • Experiment with different extract flavors for a personal touch.
