Sno Ball Brownies (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Brownie Base
01 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
02 -
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
03 -
1 cup sugar
04 -
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
05 -
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
06 -
2 large eggs
07 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
→ Coconut Layer
08 -
3 to 5 drops pink food coloring
09 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch
10 -
1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow fluff or creme
11 -
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven on to 325°F. Cover an 8x8-inch pan with foil, letting it hang over the edges for easier removal later. Lightly coat the foil with a cooking spray.
02 -
In a medium saucepan, put the butter and chopped chocolate in. Heat on low and stir nonstop until the mixture turns silky and smooth. Take off the heat once melted.
03 -
Mix the sugar into the melted chocolate until everything looks well blended.
04 -
Add the eggs and vanilla into the mix. Whisk everything together until it's shiny and smooth.
05 -
Gently fold the salt and flour into the wet mix. Don't stir too much—just until it comes together.
06 -
Pour your brownie mix into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Pop it in the oven for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center pulls out a bit sticky but mostly clean.
07 -
Once the brownies come out, spread the marshmallow fluff evenly over the warm top. The warmth makes it much easier to spread.
08 -
Dump the coconut, cornstarch, and drops of food color into your food processor. Pulse it a few times until the coconut gets a little smaller and the color spreads out nicely.
09 -
Sprinkle the pink coconut evenly over the marshmallow layer. Lightly press it down to make it stick.
10 -
Let everything cool all the way. Lift the brownies out with the foil overhang and slice them into nine squares. Clean the knife between cuts for tidier pieces.
# Notes:
01 -
Keep leftovers in an airtight box at room temperature for up to 3 days.
02 -
If cutting is tricky, chill in the fridge for half an hour first.
