Instructions
- Start by lining your square baking pan with parchment paper and pre-heating your over to 350°F.
- Place half of your chocolate chips (6oz) into a heatproof bowl and set this over a saucepan of simmering water. This should fit snuggly. Avoid letting the water touch the base of the bowl, but allow this to carry on simmering on a medium-low heat on the stovetop while you melt the chocolate.
- While the chocolate is melting, whisk the oil, vanilla, eggs and yolk together in a large mixing bowl.
- Once the chocolate has melted smooth, let this cool for a couple of minutes and then slowly add to the egg mixture while whisking continuously. You want to avoid scrambling the eggs with too hot chocolate!
- Next add the granulated and brown sugar to the mixture and sift the flour, powdered sugar, cocoa powder and salt into the mix. Stir this together with a spatula until just combined in a thick batter.
- Add the remaining chocolate chips to the batter and fold to incorporate.
- Spoon this into your lined baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Remove and allow to cool completely in the pan for about an hour or two.
- When the brownies are cool, melt the marshmallows in a small saucepan over a medium-low heat until smooth.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes until you are able to handle the marshmallow - it will be warm, but shouldn't be so hot to the touch that it burns!
- Pinch a bit of melted marshmallow with one hand and then pinch this with your other, pulling the marshmallow apart. The stretching action will create a spider web effect. Drape this over your brownies letting it cling to the edges to hold in place. Repeat until you've added as much webbing as you like!
- Top off with some edible eyes or other ghoulish candy decorations. Slice and serve!
