Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together brownie ingredients and pour into a well-greased 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and evenly distribute miniature marshmallows on top of the brownies.
- Press down slightly on the marshmallows so they won't rise when frosting is added.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the brownie mixture. If you're out of pecans, walnuts or almonds can be great substitutes. Make sure the brownies are fully cooled before adding marshmallows; this helps prevent them from melting too much. For a fun twist, drizzle some caramel sauce over the marshmallows before serving.
Serving Suggestions
These marshmallow fudge brownies are perfect on their own, but you can elevate them by serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Pair them with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk for the ultimate dessert experience. They also make a delightful addition to a dessert platter alongside American recipes like Chocolate Wiggles.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place a brownie in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to enjoy a warm, gooey treat. Be careful not to overheat!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of nuts in this recipe?
Absolutely! If you prefer a different nut, walnuts or almonds work well in place of pecans. Just make sure to chop them to a similar size for even distribution in the brownies.
What can I do if I don't have miniature marshmallows?
If miniature marshmallows are unavailable, you can cut regular marshmallows into smaller pieces or even use chocolate chips for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind the texture will change slightly.
How can I make these brownies gluten-free?
To make gluten-free marshmallow fudge brownies, substitute the plain flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check that all other ingredients, including cocoa and marshmallows, are also gluten-free.
