Peppermint Crunch Buttercream Marshmallow Brownies…where have you been all my life? OK, OK…maybe you haven’t been around, because you haven’t been invented yet, until now!
Can you tell I’m on a peppermint obsession right now!? *duh…*
Maybe you could tell because of these Christmas Peppermint Chunk M&M’S Fudge Cookies and these Triple Chocolate Mocha Peppermint Crunch Cookies! OH and let’s not forget this Holiday White Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake Mousse Pie!
All yummy and festive and peppermint infused!
To give it these brownies a pop of color, I just had to add in some pink gel
It’s important to remember that your brownies need to be cooled completely before cutting. Particularly gooey marshmallow brownies.
- I will put the brownies in the freezer for a little while so the brownies hold together better when cutting. This is a great tip for cutting all bars and brownies as well.
- I cut these into 2 inch pieces and got 24 brownie bites and used a 9×13 pan. Let’s rock!
Options to Peppermint!
- If you don’t have the peppermint bark or peppermint white chocolate chunks, you can always just use white chocolate chips, chocolate chips or none at all.
- If peppermint isn’t your thing, but marshmallow, buttercream frosting and chocolate is, you can add Christmas sprinkles for a decorative touch and color the frosting a light green or white to keep it festive. 🙂
These truly taste amazing and really hard to stay out of.
Have I told you Marshmallow and brownies make me giddy? I can’t even explain it…can you blame me? Do you have the same feelings? Can you relate? Please tell me I’m not alone?
