Description

Hot chocolate brownies are simply chewy, fudgy bars of hot cocoa mix, melted chocolate, and marshmallows: a quick and easy winter dessert.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups shortening
4 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate (such as Baker's®)
4 (6/11 ounce) packages hot cocoa mix
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups miniature marshmallows

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2 Place shortening and chocolate squares in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
3 Stir cocoa mix into the melted chocolate; mix in sugar and eggs. Add flour slowly and mix thoroughly. Mix in marshmallows. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool.
