  5. While baking, cut large marshmallows in half.

    Wow, this is what I want for breakfast! They look incredible and what a gorgeous photo! And just perfectly toasted marshmallows (I burned more than my fair share!) Pinned! :)

    These look amazing. I would love to make them but for the unsweetened cocoa, it just says 1/4 - is that a 1/4 cup? Thank you so much! :)

      so sorry! 1/4 cup :)

    Well my daughters tried making these brownies to your exact recipe; however the brownies were not done by no means and the marshmallows were on fire in less than a minute.
    Maybe it would be best to add 32 minutes for the brownies and the marshmallows be added during the last 15 minutes of baking for safer and more accurate results.

      So sorry for your troubles! I made note to continue cooking until brownies are done and toothpick test comes out clean. I also changed it to just a few seconds and capitalized "watch closely" so that others don't have your same problem. Again so sorry for your troubles with the recipe and Thanks for helping in clarification!
