Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and cocoa powder, mixing until well blended.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

- Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, remove from heat and stir in marshmallows and chopped almonds.
- Spread the rocky road topping evenly over the cooled brownies. Optionally sprinkle with fine sea salt.
- Let the brownies set for about 30 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
