Tips:

  • Prep your oven & pans: Before you start, preheat your oven to the specified temperature and grease your baking pan. This ensures even cooking and prevents the brownies from sticking.
  • Choose high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the final flavor of your brownies. Opt for a good-quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in dense, tough brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  • Be patient with the marshmallow layer: The marshmallow layer might take a few minutes to spread evenly. Be patient and use a spatula to gently coax it into place.
  • Don't overbake the brownies: Overbaked brownies will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.

The layered chocolate marshmallow peanut butter brownies featured in the article are a delectable treat that combines the richness of chocolate, the gooeyness of marshmallows, and the nutty flavor of peanut butter.
