Description
My favorite ice cream flavor baked into rich, gooey brownies that are topped with crushed pecans, mini marshmallows and melty chocolate chips in these incredible Rocky Road Brownie Cupcakes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 12 muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray or fill them with cupcake liners; set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and 1/2 cup chocolate chips on low power, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Let cool for a few minutes and then whisk in the cocoa powder until well incorporated.
- Whisk in the granulated sugar then whisk in the eggs and vanilla.
- Fold in the flour and salt.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups filling each cup almost full. Top each cupcake with some chopped pecans, marshmallows and some of the remaining chocolate chips.
