Campfire Skillet Brownie with Toasted Marshmallows

Melt the butter in a cast-iron skillet set over low campfire coals, then remove from the heat.

Serves 8

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a cast-iron skillet set over low campfire coals, then remove from the heat.
2. Whisk the granulated and brown sugars into the melted butter until glossy.
3. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until smooth.
4. Fold in the flour, cocoa powder and salt just until no streaks remain, then stir in the chocolate chips.
5. Spread the batter evenly in the skillet and cover with a foil tent or lid.
6. Set the skillet over low, even coals and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still fudgy.
7. Scatter the mini marshmallows over the top and hold the skillet near the flames until they toast golden and puffed.
8. Scoop warm brownie into bowls and top each with a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.
9. A skillet brownie topped with fire-toasted marshmallows marries two great American campfire traditions — the fudgy pan brownie and the gooey s'more — into one shareable cast-iron dessert. Bubbling hot beside the fire on a summer night, it is the kind of sweet, communal treat that keeps everyone circled around the coals long after dinner.
