  • Total Time: 48 minutes
  • Yield: 35 servings

Ingredients

Brownies

  • 1 cup butter (softened to room temperature)
  • 2 cups sugar
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Marshmallow Topping

  • 10 ounces miniature marshmallows (about 1 package)

Chocolate Frosting

  • ½ cup butter (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Brownie Batter: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened butter with sugar and cocoa powder until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after adding each egg to ensure an even, smooth batter.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, salt, and vanilla extract to the mixture and stir until well incorporated.
  4. Prepare Baking Pan: Lightly grease a large half-sheet baking pan (approximately 18 x 13 x 1 inches).
  5. Spread Batter: Pour and spread the brownie batter evenly over the prepared pan.
  6. Bake Brownies: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 22 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Add Marshmallows: Remove the brownies from the oven and immediately cover the entire surface with miniature marshmallows.
  8. Melt Marshmallows: Return the pan to the oven for an additional 3 minutes or until the marshmallows soften and puff up.
  9. Cool Brownies: Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely at room temperature before frosting.
  10. Make Frosting: In a separate bowl, mix together softened butter, milk, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar or milk if necessary.
  11. Frost Brownies: Spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the cooled brownies and cut into bars to serve.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter and eggs for best mixing results.
  • Do not overbake the brownies to keep them fudgy and moist.
  • Ensure marshmallows are added immediately after baking so they melt properly.
  • Adjust frosting thickness by adding milk to thin or powdered sugar to thicken.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • For a nuttier flavor, consider adding chopped nuts to the batter before baking.
