Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 cups mini marshmallows
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (for frosting)
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for frosting)
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of granulated sugar and 0.5 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.

Step 3

Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 4

Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5

Stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour until the batter is smooth and well mixed.

Step 6

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the brownies from the oven and immediately sprinkle 4 cups of mini marshmallows evenly over the top. Return the pan to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the marshmallows are slightly puffed and melted.

Step 9

While the marshmallows cool, prepare the frosting: In a medium saucepan, melt 0.5 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of milk and 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.

Step 10

Remove the saucepan from heat and gradually whisk in 1.5 cups of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until the frosting is thick and spreadable.

Step 11

Carefully spread the frosting over the marshmallow layer while it is still warm. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy your Mom’s Marshmallow Brownies!
