  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12-16 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup assorted chocolate chips (dark, milk, white)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • Variety of add-ins for the assorted brownies (marshmallows, crushed cookies, candies)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, folding gently. Mix in chocolate chips and nuts if using.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan and evenly spread. Divide or dollop different add-ins (marshmallows, cookies, candies) into the batter. Use a toothpick to swirl or press them gently into the batter.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Customize your assorted brownies by mixing different candies, chocolates, or toppings for variety.
  • Ensure add-ins are evenly dispersed for an attractive appearance and consistent flavor in each piece.
  • Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week for longer freshness.
