Peppermint Marshmallow Chocolate Brownies

Here’s edible gift idea #5 for you!

Peppermint Marshmallow Chocolate Brownies.

Remember those peppermint marshmallow hot chocolate sticks I posted last week? I used the leftover marshmallows to top these minty brownies. Have you ever had marshmallows on top of brownies? It’s they way they were meant to be eaten, I assure you. And don’t they look so Christmasy and festive?!

I brought these brownies to an event last week and they were the first thing gone. I mean DEMOLISHED in a matter of minutes. Bring them to a party and I guarantee they will be a hit!

Again, I’ve put together a small assembly tutorial for you. Not that they are hard to make, by any means!

I just like pictures of food…..

Bake and Cool brownies. Make peppermint frosting. Add 1/2 of the frosting to the brownies.

Color the remaining frosting red. Add it to the brownies and spread with a spatula.

Add the marshmallows to the top of the frosting and pat down.

Give your frosting coated spatula to someone deserving.

Melt your chocolate in a bowl.

Drizzle the melted chocolate across the top of the marshmallows with a fork.

Refrigerate the brownies for 30 minutes. Cut the uneven edges off and then cut the brownies into squares.

Don’t eat the whole pan before giving some to your neighbors!

6. *Don't cook to long! These brownies are best JUST cooked through.

8. Place the softened butter in a mixing bowl and beat for 30 seconds.
9. Add the powdered sugar and mix on low speed until combined.
10. Increase the speed to medium and slowly add in the heavy cream, peppermint oil and vanilla.
11. Beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
12. Place ½ of the white frosting in dollops on top of your cooled brownies.
