Easy Marshmallow Brownies with Pecans
Delicious fudgy brownies, with rich chocolate, taste a great sweet treat. With the basic recipe for a regular brownie you always have a good basis. And then you can vary it wonderfully. For example, a raspberry brownie cake, a brownie with caramel, or cream cheese brownies. As you can see brownies are one of my favorite desserts.
And this is another irresistible brownie version: Marshmallow Brownies, a delicious fudgy chocolate brownie with chocolate, pecans, and marshmallow layer and a meringue layer on top. That's not only three delicious layers of flavor, but also the texture of the silky brownie, the gooey nutty filling, and a crunchy topping is irresistibly delicious. A new favorite recipe for dessert. Try it yourself!
What do you need for a chewy brownie with meringue, marshmallows and pecans
For the preparation of this Mississippi mud brownies recipe you need the following ingredients (the correct amounts can be found at the bottom of the blog in the recipe card):
- Baking powder - This allows the brownie to rise, making it fluffy.
- Chocolate and cocoa - For the rich chocolate taste. In this recipe, you use two types of chocolate to get an extra intense chocolate taste. A bar with more than 70% cocoa and chocolate with more than 50% cocoa. Cocoa also contributes to the intense chocolate taste.
- Butter - Use unsalted butter.
- Vanilla Extract - Gives a hint of vanilla which makes it even more delicious. Don't have vanilla extract at home? Then use 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar.
- Sugars - In this recipe, you use three different types of sugar, each with its own taste. That's what makes this such a delicious treat! Regular granulated sugar, brown sugar (with an intense deep taste), and syrup (for a caramel taste). You can vary this by using light brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey.
- Pecans - Use it for the filling. The delicious nutty taste combines well with the marshmallows and chocolate. You can also replace it with walnuts or almonds.
- Marshmallows - Use mini marshmallows or cut the larger marshmallows smaller. This allows you to distribute the marshmallows evenly over the fudge. Baking in the oven will melt the marshmallows and make them wonderfully gooey.
