I love brownies and have made homemade ones for years. But, my complaint against homemade brownies is that they're lighter in color and more dry and cake-like than I like. I love those dark, rich, chewy brownies in a box from Duncan Hines. This is the closest homemade version I've found yet!
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or 1 plain chocolate fondente bar broken into pieces)
2/3 cup flour
1 cup sugar
2 squares unsweetened baker’s chocolate (or 2 T. cocoa plus 2 T. butter)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup mini-marshmallows (or Euro-marshmallows cut into very small pieces)
Preheat oven to 350. Beat eggs and add sugar while continuing to beat. Melt butter and chocolates cocoa together. (Use your favorite method; double boiler, microwave, etc.) Add vanilla. Add to egg mixture. Fold in flour and marshmallows (and nuts if desired). Bake in a greased 9” square baker about 30 minutes
**I made these with all the substitutions listed in italics since I don't keep those American ingredients on hand. I used those pastel-colored marshmallows you can buy at Esselunga and just cut them in to pea-sized pieces with kitchen shears. The brownies turned out very rich and dark, but were a little lumpy looking, probably from the euro-marshmallows. Like R said, "They're a little ugly, but they're the best brownies you've ever made!" The original recipe said you could also make these with whole wheat flour, too. I may try that next time.

Looking forward to trying this!
i melted the marshmallow bits in the chocolate/butter sauce before mixing it with the eggs/sugar-- so, no lumpy bits in the final product. great brownies!
