Hot Mess Brownies Recipe 435

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, and spray with the cooking spray.
• Stir together the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add the flour, hot chocolate mix, salt and baking powder and stir until just combined. Stir in half the chocolate chips. Spread the mixture in the prepared baking pan.
• Bake until the brownies begin to pull away from the edges of the pan and are set in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven, immediately sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips, and let stand until they are very soft, about 5 minutes. Spread the melted chips evenly with a spatula, and let cool for about 10 minutes. Use the foil to lift the brownies out of the pan, and let cool completely on a rack. Cut into 24 squares, and top each with 3 mini marshmallows.

Steps:

• Prepare the brownies as directions indicate. Cut brownies and place them onto a wire rack with a drip pan at the bottom to catch any chocolate or caramel that might drip down. While brownies are cooling heat in a double boiler the chocolate and the butter until it becomes smooth and has a sheen to it. While still slightly warm add a spoonful of marshmallow fluff onto each brownie. How many brownies you get depends on how big you cut your brownie. I cut mine pretty big. The marshmallow will start to spread. Put a spoonful of caramel on top of the marshmallow. It will also spread a little. Then spoon some of the chocolate on top of the marshmallow and caramel. It will spread as well but will eventually harden back up. When the chocolate has hardened again they will be ready to serve. Clearly these are messy to eat but ridiculously good.
