ingredients
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped coarse
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped coarse
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into quarters
3 tablespoons dutch-processed cocoa powder
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (topping)
1 1/2 cups peanut butter chips (topping)
mini marshmallows (topping)
directions
1. adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. fold 2 pieces of foil to form a sling over a 9-by-13 inch baking pan. grease bottom and sides with butter.
2. melt bittersweet and unsweetened chocolate, butter, and cocoa powder in microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth. set aside to cool slightly.
3. whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl until combined. whisk chocolate mixture into egg mixture, then stir in flour until just combined. pour mixture into prepared pan, spread into corners, and level surface with a rubber spatula. bake approximately 20 minutes, then sprinkle semisweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and marshmallows onto top and return to oven.
4. continue baking until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a small amount of sticky crumbs clinging to it. cool on wire rack to room temperature, about 2 hours, then remove brownies from pan in foil sling. i had some issues cutting the brownies, but regardless, they don't need to be in perfectly cut squares to be ridiculously delicious and enjoyable.
and if you think these aren't satisfying enough by themselves, here's another tip: top the brownies with ice cream. my personal favorite is ben & jerry's cookie dough.
yeah, i told you they were good.
