Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 18-ounce (510 grams) box of brownie mix
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Brownie Mix Additional Ingredients (as specified on box):
- Eggs
- Water
- Vegetable oil
Chocolate Frosting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (56 grams) salted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by positioning the oven rack in the center and heating to 350ºF for optimal brownie baking.
- Select either a 9×9″ pan for thick, decadent brownies or a 9×13″ pan for thinner, more spread-out treats, ensuring to coat with non-stick spray or parchment paper.
- Mix the brownie batter following package instructions, creating a smooth, rich chocolate base.
- Carefully pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly to ensure consistent baking.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes, watching closely to prevent overcooking and maintain a moist, fudgy texture.
- Remove the partially baked brownies from the oven and generously scatter marshmallows across the surface, creating a complete coverage.
- Return to the oven for an additional 3 minutes, allowing marshmallows to puff up and develop a golden, pillowy appearance.
- Extract from the oven and let the brownie base cool completely, giving the marshmallow layer time to set.
- Craft the chocolate frosting by whisking butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
- Use electric beaters to blend the frosting until silky smooth, adjusting liquid or sugar for ideal consistency.
- Once brownies have cooled, dollop frosting strategically over the marshmallow layer and gently spread to create an even, luxurious topping.
Notes
- Customize pan size to achieve desired brownie thickness, using 9×9″ for thick or 9×13″ for thinner versions.
- Bake brownies until almost done, avoiding overcooking to maintain moist texture.
- Sprinkle marshmallows evenly and bake briefly to create a puffy, golden topping.
- Adjust frosting consistency by adding milk or powdered sugar for perfect spreadability.
- Cool brownies completely before adding frosting to prevent melting and ensure clean application.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
