Servings 16 slices

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 170 grams unsalted butter
  • 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate morsels
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 200 grams granulated sugar
  • 100 grams light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 120 grams all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 26 grams Dutch-process cocoa powder, spooned and leveled
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 8-10 white chocolate peppermint truffles or chocolate squares, like Lindt or Ghirardelli
  • 75 grams marshmallow fluff

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 325F/163C convection. Use cooking spray and parchment paper to grease and line an 8-inch square pan. 
  2. In a heat safe bowl or a saucepan, melt the butter with the semi-sweet chocolate. Set them aside to cool while you get the rest of the ingredients together. 
    170 grams unsalted butter, 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate morsels
  3. Use a whisk to combine the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until they're just barely combined and still gloopy; don't over-mix.
    4 large eggs room temperature, 200 grams granulated sugar, 100 grams light brown sugar lightly packed, 1 tsp vanilla extract
  4. Pour in the butter and chocolate mixture to the eggs and sugar, whisk gently just until it's combined. It should still be a little gloopy and not super smooth.
  5. Add the flour, cocoa powder and salt to the batter and whisk them together until they're just barely combined. 
    120 grams all-purpose flour spooned and leveled, 26 grams Dutch-process cocoa powder spooned and leveled, 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  6. Fold in the 3/4 of the chopped chocolates just until they're evenly dispersed and reserve a few pieces to place on top of the marshmallow fluff.
    8-10 white chocolate peppermint truffles or chocolate squares like Lindt or Ghirardelli
  7. Pour 2/3 brownie batter into the prepared pan. Place 5-6 globs of marshmallow fluff on top.
    75 grams marshmallow fluff
  8. Cover the globs with more brownie batter and place a few more globs of marshmallow fluff and reserved chocolates on top.
  9. Use a knife to gently swirl them into the brownie batter a little.
  10. Bake for about 40 minutes, remove from the oven and rap the pan on the counter. Then bake for another 5-15 minutes, until the edges are set, the top is puffed and it feels soft but not jiggly.
  11. Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 30-60 minutes, until they can be sliced without falling apart.
  12. Top with a handful of crushed peppermint candies.

Notes

    • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
    • The peppermint flavor is more subtle since I just used peppermint chocolates and no extract. Feel free to add 1/4 tsp of peppermint extract to the batter as well if you want it stronger.
