Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (18 oz or 510 g) brownie mix
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- Eggs (as specified on box)
- Water (as specified on box)
- Vegetable oil (as specified on box)
- ¼ cup (56 g or 4 tbsps) salted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsps unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsps milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheating: Position the oven rack centrally and warm to 350ºF, creating an ideal baking environment for rich chocolate treats.
- Pan Preparation: Select either a 9×9″ or 9×13″ pan, generously coating with non-stick spray or lining with parchment paper to ensure effortless removal.
- Batter Creation: Combine brownie mix according to package guidance, whisking until a velvety, uniform chocolate mixture emerges with no lingering dry pockets.
- Initial Baking: Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface carefully, then bake for approximately 30 minutes until the chocolate base reaches a moist, fudgy consistency.
- Marshmallow Transformation: Extract the partially baked brownies and liberally distribute marshmallows across the entire surface, ensuring complete coverage for a decadent layer of pillowy sweetness.
- Marshmallow Finish: Return to the oven for an additional 3 minutes, allowing marshmallows to puff and caramelize into a golden, tempting landscape.
- Frosting Fusion: While brownies cool, craft the chocolate frosting by blending butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla using electric beaters until achieving a silky, glossy texture.
- Final Assembly: Once brownies have completely cooled, strategically spread the luxurious frosting over the marshmallow layer, creating an indulgent, smooth topping that promises pure chocolate ecstasy.
Notes
- Select the Right Pan Size: Choose between 9×9″ for thick, decadent brownies or 9×13″ for thinner treats, matching your texture preference and crowd size.
- Master Marshmallow Placement: Scatter marshmallows evenly and completely across the partially baked brownies to ensure perfect golden-brown coverage and gooey texture.
- Prevent Overbaking: Watch brownies closely during baking, removing them when a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs to maintain that irresistible fudgy center.
- Frosting Consistency Tip: Adjust frosting thickness by adding small amounts of milk or powdered sugar until you achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency that glides effortlessly over the marshmallow layer.
