Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla, whisking vigorously for about a minute until the mixture is glossy.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, hot cocoa mix, and salt.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the mini marshmallows over the top.
  7. Set the oven to broil (high) and return the pan to the oven for 1-2 minutes, watching closely until the marshmallows are puffed and golden brown.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out and cutting into squares.

Notes

Do Not Overbake: For the fudgiest texture, err on the side of underbaking. The brownies will set as they cool.
Use Room Temperature Eggs: This helps create a smoother, more uniform batter.
Cool Completely: Don't skip this step! It is essential for clean cuts and the perfect fudgy consistency.
