Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Topping

  • 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff or mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the Brownies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, mixing until the batter is uniform. Fold in the mini chocolate chips if using for added texture and flavor.
  2. Bake the Brownies: Pour the prepared brownie batter evenly into the baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy. Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
  3. Prepare the Topping: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the heavy cream, butter, and vanilla extract. Heat until the butter has melted and the mixture is hot but not boiling. Stir in the marshmallow fluff or mini marshmallows continually until fully melted and the topping is smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly to thicken.
  4. Assemble the Sno Ball Brownies: Once the brownies are completely cooled, spread the marshmallow mixture evenly over the top of the brownies. Immediately sprinkle the shredded coconut over the marshmallow layer and press gently to help the coconut adhere.
  5. Chill and Serve: Place the assembled brownies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the topping to set and become firm. Once chilled and set, cut the brownies into squares and serve.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use sweetened shredded coconut, or unsweetened for a less sweet topping.
  • Mini chocolate chips are optional but add extra chocolate bursts.
  • Ensure brownies are completely cooled before adding the topping to prevent melting.
  • The marshmallow topping can be kept smooth by stirring frequently while melting.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
