Marshmallow Frosted Brownies

Pin It
This is the 3rd time I have made these Marshmallow Frosted Brownies from Real Mom Kitchen. I initially made them for a Superbowl party I went to, and now I cannot stop making them. I posted about these brownies in late January, on Blog and Recipes Worth Mentioning.

didn't go into a whole lot of details about this recipe, so I wanted to make sure this recipe did not get lost and buried in all my posts. Today I am making a separate post just for these wonderful brownies because they really do deserve it.

They were such a big hit at the Superbowl party that the whole pan was cleaned out by the end of the night. I actually had to make a second batch the following day, because my husband never did get one of the brownies.

I love the marshmallow filling and the chocolaty frosting on top. I think the homemade frosting takes these brownies over the edge. This recipe utilizes a boxed brownie mix so it doesn't get any easier than that. If you haven't made these brownies you don't know what you are missing.

right out of the oven, fluffy marshmallows on top and ready for the homemade frosting.


Pour the frosting on nice and hot, then let it cool and dig in.








Marshmallow Brownies

1 - (9 x13) boxed brownie mix
(prepared according to package directions
for cake like brownies)
1 - bag miniature marshmallows
homemade frosting (recipe below)

Make the brownie mix according to package directions for CAKE LIKE brownies. Bake according to package directions. 


When brownies are done, cover them with a layer of miniature marshmallows and put back into the oven for a few minutes until marshmallows are nice and puffy. 

Cool brownies and top with frosting recipe below.


Homemade Chocolate Frosting

1/2 cup butter
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons water
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Bring 1/2 cup butter or margarine, 4 tablespoons cocoa, 3 tablespoons water, and 3 tablespoons milk to a boil. Remove from heat. 


While still hot, add confectioners' sugar, and vanilla. Beat well. Pour frosting over brownies while frosting is still hot. Allow to cool before cutting.

My grandmother used to make something eerily similar, but she called it Mississippi Mud Cake. Delicious no matter what you call it!

Have you tried them with homemade marshmallows? I can't wait. This sounds like it would an excellent thing to bring to a family potluck during all the coming holidays.

Sorry about the picture thing. I usually do put a comment on who took the picture if it's not my own but must have forgotten. Anyway, love your site and your recipes.

So I just made this recipe and it looks delicious (still cooling!). However, I messed up b/c I didn't realize you had to completely cool the brownies w/ marshmallows BEFORE frosting. We will see how it turns out--my frosting and marshmallows are kind of a jumbled mess--not the prettiest dessert I've made but will hopefully still taste yummy! I will have to try again w/ the proper cooling instructions.

Hi Tina,
Do you have a good made from scratch chewy style brownie? If so would you share it as I have been looking for a good homemade chewy style brownie for a long time.
Thanks
Kim

I just made these!

Without the frosting though, I heated nutella and poured it over the top like a thick drizzle instead.

Realized afterwards it would have been great with cocoa almonds chopped over the top. But I had it over vanilla ice cream... Such a treat!

These taste amazing!! I made these last weekend for my son to take to two teen youth events. For the first event, I cut the brownies into two inch squares and arranged them on a platter. Unfortunately, they did not go over well and 90% came back home. For the event the next day, with some of the same kids attending, I cut the 2 inch squares into 4 smaller pieces, placed the pieces into mini cupcake liners, and they ate every last one. My son declared them a huge hit! Thank you for sharing this deliciously decadent treat.

This is a great recipe. I love making this recipe. It is easy and delicious. I made a batch and cut them into little squares for our Easter gathering. Not a single one left on the plate in fact some people had several on their plate... Just made them again today. I add walnuts to my brownies since this is a very sweet dish.
