    I have been obsessed with the idea of marshmallow brownies for a long time now! I have attempted to make them in the past but they have always turned out terribly. In my first attempt, the marshmallows were mixed through the the brownie batter and they exploded in the oven so there were pockets of harden sugar throughout the brownies. Not what I was going for to say the least.

    In my next attempt I melted down the marshmallows first and spread them through the middle of the brownies as a gooey, chewy marshmallow center... Lets just say the results were again, unsatisfactory. Think unbaked, runny, gooey and overly sweet brownies with no distinctive layers. Just one big runny chocolate mess!

    Finally I worked out a way to get the soft and pillowy marshmallow effect with rich and fudgy brownies. The balance of rich and sweet is perfect and the flavour of brownies and marshmallows together is just perfect!

    To achieve the pillowy marshmallow topping on these brownies, I baked the brownies first and took them out ten minutes early to top them with the marshmallows and then returned them to the oven to finish baking. This ensured the marshmallows cooked and toasted without exploding!

    For these, and all my other marshmallow related recipes - hello s'mores - I use regular sized marshmallows. If you want added marshmallow action, you could also add mini marshmallows to the brownies themselves but that is entirely optional.

    For the chocolate ganache I used a good quality dark chocolate but a milk chocolate ganache would also work fantastically well here too.
