I have always had a big pet peeve about recipes that said “mix this mix and this can together to make an easy meal,” and I’ve always thought they didn’t really deserve to be called recipes. However, I’m going to share with you a brownie recipe that is one of those recipes. I hope you can get past it and see my good intentions.
- Prepare a brownie mix or your favorite chocolate brownie recipe and bake according to package or recipe directions.
- As soon as the brownie is completely baked, pour/sprinkle marshmallows over the entire top. (I used a 9 inch x 13 inch brownie pan and about 8 ounces of mini marshmallows.) It’s fine if you can still see a little of the brownie. The marshmallows will swell in the oven.
- Return the pan to the oven for an additional 2-4 minutes or until marshmallows are just slightly golden. (It took me about three and a half minutes. I suggest first setting your timer for 2 minutes, then checking every 1/2 or 1 minute.)
They are, however, very sticky and hard to serve.









I have made these as well. They are very good!!! I also put chocolate chips on top of the brownies and then marshmallows before putting them back in the oven.
Chocolate chips sound great, too!
Sounds and looks delicious. I have a trick for cutting hard to cut cakes and squares etc. boil water, add to a tall heat proof cup and put a serrated knife in the water to get it really hot. This helps me get easy slices. Just repeat for each slice 😃
Oh, interesting! Thanks!!
No problem
Can’t hurt to try, it might work
I make brownies with the marshmallows on top, but then top it with a peanut butter/melted chocolate/rice krispie layer so it turns into chocolate-covered rice krispie treats on top of brownies. They’re awesome!
Oh, that sounds awesome! I didn’t have any rice krispie cereal or I might have done something like that with this recipe.
I will have to in the future.
Hard to serve? I think I’d just go directly at it with a spoon…looks delicious!
I can’t just “dig in” when I have guests! haha. But otherwise I would agree.
Lovely idea! Thank you! They may be easier to serve, if you use a springform type pan, and pop them out.
My nana taught me a recipe as a child that involved, chocolate, marshmallows and butterscotch in a brownie mix..(I LOVE sweets.. and I love to cook..) This is my first post to your site.. but i wanted to say I really enjoy what you have written.. I am a HS teacher who has 2 children , 4 grand kids and a cat ( I like the cat best)..
I look forward to learning more about everyone.
Thank you so much for commenting and telling me about yourself!
Oh, I love butterscotch! That’s a really good idea!
What subjects do you teach?
