Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (for decoration)
  • Optional: edible eyes (for ghost faces)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir the granulated sugar into the melted butter until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Remove the brownies from the oven and immediately sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly on top. Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes, until the marshmallows start to puff up.
  8. Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  9. Once cooled, use chocolate chips to create ghost faces, adding edible eyes if desired.
  10. Slice and serve the Marshmallow Ghost Brownies.

Notes

  • Use quality cocoa powder and unsalted butter for the best flavor.

  • Consider adding nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free baking blend.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months, separating layers with parchment paper.
