Layered Marshmallow Brownies
These brownies are amazing. Super-sweet and fudgy and amazing. They have a layer of fudge-like brownie, topped with a layer of marshmallows, and lastly, a sweet chocolate frosting layer. I’ve seen these come up in a variety of blogs over the last year or so since they first appeared Baking Blonde’s blog almost two years ago!
I prefer my brownies nice and thick, so I decided to make the recipe in an 8×8 pan instead of the 9×13 called for in the recipe. The brownie layer did take a significantly longer amount of time to bake, but I think the outcome was worth it.
At first taste, I wasn’t completely sold on these. I had put them in the fridge to cool and after I cut them, I tasted an edge piece. They were a bit too sweet. I’m sure many of you doubt that I could ever think a dessert was too sweet, but I did. They were so sweet in fact, that I didn’t take them with me to the get together as I had planned. I left them out on the counter while I was gone and gave them another taste when I got home. The sweetness had died down, and while they are still very sweet, they weren’t too sweet anymore. So I would definitely recommend serving these at room temperature, not when they’re cold.
I cut them fairly small since they are pretty intense (16 pieces for an 8×8 pan, after trimming off the edges). I took them to work with my and my coworkers thoroughly enjoyed them.

I could use that extra caffeine jolt right about now!
Are you a fan of mint & chocolate? My favorite frosted brownies that my grandma always made had a layer of mint frosting and then a chocolate glaze. But I heart coffee + chocolate too 🙂
In that last picture the melty chocolate chip is starting at me! It looks soooo delicious! I love anything with coffee flavors, so these are right up my alley!
I already know these are good b/c you used my go-to recipe for brownies, too! haha The frosting looks perfect. I must make these soon.
Oh boy does that look good!
Your week of brownies is such a cute idea! This is my favorite so far – the frosting just takes them over the top!
I have to admit that I just love boxed brownies, but now the photo of these want me to try making them from scratch again!
