Sno Ball Brownies 🧁🍫

Rich brownies topped with fluffy marshmallow frosting and snowy coconut—like a Hostess Sno Ball in brownie form.

Ingredients

Brownies

• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 2 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Marshmallow frosting

• 2 cups mini marshmallows (or 1 jar, 7 oz marshmallow crème)
• 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

• 1½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
• Pink food coloring (optional, for classic Sno Ball look)
• Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

1. Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment and lightly grease.
2. Melt: In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
3. Mix batter: Whisk in sugar, then eggs and vanilla. Sift in flour, cocoa, and salt; fold until just combined.
4. Bake: Spread batter in pan and bake 18–22 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely.
5. Make frosting: In a small pot, gently heat marshmallows with milk, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat; whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla. Let cool 5 minutes to thicken.
6. Tint coconut: In a bowl, toss coconut with a drop or two of pink food coloring until evenly tinted (optional).
7. Top brownies: Spread marshmallow frosting over cooled brownies. Immediately sprinkle/tamp pink coconut on top to cover.
8. Set & slice: Chill 20–30 minutes to set, then cut into squares. Add sprinkles if desired.
