- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup black cocoa powder

Marshmallow Web

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Add chocolate chips to a large bowl.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter until it's brown and nutty. Then pour it into the bowl with the chocolate chips.

- Add the salt, white and brown sugars. Whisk until combined.
- Add the vanilla and eggs and whisk again until smooth.
- Add the black cocoa powder and flour and fold the dry ingredients into the batter until combined and a thick batter is formed.

- Bake brownies in the oven for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the brownies cool completely.
- Remove from the baking dish.
- Melt the marshmallows in a bowl in the microwave.
- Once cool enough to touch, grab some of the marshmallow and pull apart between your fingers to make a webbing.
- Drape over the brownies to create webs on top. Repeat with more marshmallow until your desired look is achieved.
- Cut brownies into squares.
Notes
- If you don't have parchment paper, spray the baking pan with cooking spray to prevent batter from sticking to the bottom and sides of the pan.
