Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

Line an 8-inch square pan with foil, leaving an overhang, and lightly butter the foil.

Melt 4 oz of unsweetened chocolate and 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over a saucepan of simmering water.

Remove from heat and whisk in 1 cup of granulated sugar until combined.

Add 2 large eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Bake for about 25 minutes, checking for moist crumbs on a toothpick.

Remove from the oven and scatter 1 cup of miniature marshmallows, 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup of chopped nuts on top.

Return to the oven for about 5 minutes until the marshmallows are melted.

Let cool in the pan before lifting out using the foil overhang.
