Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Mini marshmallows (for topping)
  • Crushed peppermint candies (for topping)
  • Extra chocolate chips or ganache (for filling)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
  2. In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Mix dry ingredients into wet until dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips.
  3. Scoop dough into a greased muffin tin and press to form shallow cups. Bake for 10–12 minutes.
  4. Once baked, press centers down to create a cavity. Fill with chocolate ganache or extra chocolate chips.
  5. Top with mini marshmallows and crushed peppermint. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Best enjoyed fresh from the oven or reheated slightly.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • For extra gooey centers, add more chocolate ganache while warm.
