Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

1 (18 oz) box brownie mix

Marshmallow Cocoa Swirl

1 cup marshmallow creme
1 packet hot cocoa mix (about 3 tablespoons)
1.5 teaspoons water

Toppings

2 tablespoons marshmallow bits
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
Prepare Brownie Batter: Make the brownie batter according to the package instructions. Once ready, spread it evenly into the prepared baking pan to create an even layer.
Mix Marshmallow Cocoa Swirl: In a small bowl, combine the marshmallow creme, hot cocoa mix, and water. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended, creating a rich, creamy swirl.
Add Swirl to Brownies: Drop dollops of the marshmallow mixture across the surface of the brownie batter. Using a knife, gently swirl the marshmallow mixture into the batter to create a marbled effect.
Sprinkle Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the marshmallow bits and mini chocolate chips over the top to add texture and extra bursts of flavor.
Bake the Brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but is not wet, indicating perfect doneness.
Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares to ensure clean slices and to let the flavors set.

Notes

Use your favorite boxed brownie mix for convenience, or substitute with a homemade brownie batter if preferred.
Ensure not to overbake to keep the brownies moist and fudgy.
For an extra decadent touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
