Marshmallow Stuffed Brownies with Sea Salt Flakes

I love brownies, all kinds of brownies! They are casual enough for a pitch-in lunch at work, or as the centerpiece at a dinner party.

At our house, my husband, Dale and I argue over the size of squares to cut the brownies. I am on the team that says smaller is better due to their richness. Dale, on the other hand, believes that cutting them is a waste of time. Hence, taking a fork to the pan method was born.

The recipe for my marshmallow stuffed Brownies with sea salt has been an evolution. I guess it’s been my obsession since I was a kid. Over the years I’ve tweaked the recipe to make it exceptional.

Several years ago, my friend Shawnee, who always begged for me to make them for her was having minor surgery. Her request to me was simple; She wanted me to come to the hospital with a pan of my Marshmallow Stuffed Brownies w/ Sea Salt.

I was happy to oblige, but time got away from me on that busy day, so instead of following my time-tested recipe, I used a store-bought brownie mix and pre-made frosting (gasp).
I prepared them to look mine, and I tried to pass the brownies off as my own.
Shawnee was groggy when I visited her in the hospital that day. She was happy to see the brownies, but after one bite, she tossed the rest of it on her bed table. I had been caught trying to fool her.
I haven’t used a boxed mix since.

A good brownie is moist and never dry. This recipe produces an incredible chocolate taste that compliments the creamy marshmallow perfectly. The frosting adds another level of decadent chocolate flavor. You might be tempted to leave off the Sea Salt, but it sends this delicious brownie over the edge.

I love them with a glass of dry red wine! Enjoy!
