Delicious and festive brownies with a crunchy marshmallow topping, perfect for celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
- 1/2 cup red and blue M&M’s (or other patriotic candies)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a large mixing bowl, then stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the mini marshmallows over the batter, followed by the crispy rice cereal and M&M’s.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter on top, spreading it gently to cover the marshmallows and cereal.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the brownie batter.
- You can substitute the M&M’s with chopped nuts or dried fruit for a different texture and taste.
- For a festive touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled brownies before serving.
