Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1/2 cup toffee bits
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy brownie removal after baking.
  2. Melt Butter and Combine with Cocoa: Gently melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave, then whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth and glossy. This chocolaty base sets the stage for a decadent brownie.
  3. Mix Sugar and Eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until thick and pale. This aeration helps create the chewy texture we all love in brownies.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the cocoa mixture into the sugar-egg blend, then sift in the flour and stir just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  5. Fold in Toffee, Coconut, and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in your toffee bits, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips, distributing them evenly to ensure every bite delivers that rocky road magic.
  6. Pour and Top with Marshmallows: Spread the batter evenly in your prepared pan and scatter mini marshmallows on top. The marshmallows will melt slightly and add gooeyness that pairs beautifully with the crunchy and chewy bits inside.
  7. Bake and Cool: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely before slicing to allow the flavors to set perfectly.

Notes

  • Use quality chocolate for better flavor depth.
  • Fold ingredients gently to keep brownies tender and avoid toughness.
  • Slightly underbake for fudgier brownies, but avoid leaving them too gooey.
  • Evenly distribute toffee bits and shredded coconut for consistent texture.
  • Let brownies cool completely before cutting to prevent crumbling and ensure neat slices.
