Hot Cocoa Brownies
Report
These hot cocoa brownies with marshmallows are dense, chewy, and full of hot cocoa flavor.

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 to 5 (.73 ounces each) envelopes milk chocolate hot cocoa mix without marshmallows *see notes
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons tiny mallow bits
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8×8 inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and drape the parchment over two opposite sides of the pan. This will provide a handle to pull out the brownies. Then spray the parchment with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Using a hand mixer, beat for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture turns pale and becomes thick and fluffy.
- Add in the baking powder, hot cocoa envelopes and flour. Mix with the hand mixer on low until incorporated. Scrape down sides and give a quick mix to incorporate.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of mallow bits into the batter.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Make sure to spread to all of the edges and corners.
- Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of tiny mallow bits on top of the brownies.
- Place into the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until done. Place a toothpick into the center of the brownies and if it comes out clean or with moist crumbs, it’s done. If there’s still batter, let bake a little longer.
- Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Cut into squares and serve!
Notes
- The recipe initially called for 4 hot cocoa packets, but I find that 5 gives it a more dense brownie texture and a little extra hot cocoa flavor. 4 packets still work perfectly too.
