How to Make Marshmallow Brownies

Let’s dive into the steps to create these heavenly Marshmallow Brownies together:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove it from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Beat in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until you have a smooth batter. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to all corners.
Drop spoonfuls of marshmallow fluff on top of the brownie batter. Use a knife to swirl it into the brownies, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (but no wet batter).
Allow to cool in the pan for a bit before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy the gooey goodness!
