1. Classic Fudgy Brownies with a Twist

A brownie at its best is fudgy, chocolatey, and slightly crisp around the edges. But why not add a little extra flair to it?

Ingredients:

• 200 gm Bournville dark chocolate
• 150 gm unsalted butter
• 150 gm granulated sugar
• 100 gm brown sugar (adds moisture and depth)
• 3 large eggs
• 5 ml vanilla extract
• 100 gm all-purpose flour
• 30 gm Cadbury cocoa powder
• 2 gm salt
• 100 gm chopped walnuts (optional)
• 100 gm mini marshmallows

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan.
2. Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a microwave or over a double boiler. Stir until smooth and glossy.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract.
4. Slowly fold in the melted chocolate mixture.
5. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then gently fold it into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined – you don’t want to overdo it.
6. Add chopped walnuts if you’re a fan of some crunch. Pour half the batter into your prepared pan. Scatter a layer of mini marshmallows, then top with the remaining batter.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 180°C. The marshmallows should slightly melt, leaving a gooey, irresistible center.

This is no ordinary brownie! The gooey marshmallow layer adds an element of surprise, making each bite ooze with a nostalgic, campfire sweetness. This recipe can be your best twist for Sizzling Brownie with Ice Cream.
