Bake these rich, fudgy brownies that taste just like a mug of hot cocoa! This easy recipe features a marshmallow swirl and a topping of toasted marshmallows for the ultimate cozy dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (18.3 oz) brownie mix
  • Ingredients listed on brownie mix box (usually eggs, oil, water)
  • 1/2 cup hot chocolate mix powder (not the sugar-free kind)
  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff or marshmallow creme
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box. Grease and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions, but substitute the water called for with the 1/2 cup of hot chocolate mix powder, stirring until fully dissolved into the wet ingredients.
  3. Pour about two-thirds of the prepared brownie batter into the bottom of the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  4. Dollop spoonfuls of the marshmallow fluff randomly over the brownie batter layer.
  5. Gently pour the remaining one-third of the brownie batter over the marshmallow fluff dollops.
  6. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the marshmallow fluff through the batter to create a marbled effect.
  7. Bake for the time recommended on the box for fudgy brownies, checking for doneness with a toothpick inserted near the center (it should come out with moist crumbs attached).
  8. Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the hot brownie surface.
  9. Return the pan to the oven for 1-2 minutes, watching closely, until the marshmallows puff up and lightly toast. Alternatively, use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  11. Once cool, drizzle with chocolate syrup before cutting into squares.
