8 ounces 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate baking bar I use Ghirardelli
2/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (or 180°C).
Line a 9×9 metal baking pan with parchment and spray side and bottom of the pan with a nonstick baking spray with flour.
In a 3-quart sauce pan, add unsalted butter and chopped bittersweet chocolate. Heat over low, stirring until melted. Remove off of the heat and let cool for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, measure and add in the flour, black cocoa powder and fine salt. Whisk to combine and set off to the side.
To the semi-cooled chocolate, add in both sugars, stir until just mixed through a bit. Add in vanilla extract, switch over to a whisk, and whisk until thoroughly combined.
Next add in the eggs, one at a time. Whisking well after each egg.
Lastly, add in the black cocoa/flour mixture and whisk until incorporated. Switch back to a spatula and scrape the sides and bottom of the pan.
Pour the brownie batter into your prepared pan and spread the batter out evenly. Bake on the middle rack for 35 to 40 minutes OR until desired doneness. I bake mine for 40 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
Once the brownies are cooled. Add the mini marshmallows to a microwave-safe dish. Microwave for 15 to 20 seconds or until melted. Test the marshmallows to make sure it isn't too warm and then using both hands, grab some of the warm melted marshmallow and stretch it out, draping the strings or “webs” over the top of the brownies.
Let sit for 15 mintues before slicing and serving.
