Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Layer:
- 1 box (18–19 oz) brownie mix (plus eggs, oil, and water as called for)
Marshmallow-Coconut Topping:
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Coconut Topping:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- red or pink food coloring (optional)
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for topping)
Instructions
- Brownie Layer: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions. Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13-inch baking pan and bake as directed, usually 22–26 minutes.
- Marshmallow-Coconut Topping: Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the hot brownies. Return to the oven for 2–3 minutes, just until the marshmallows puff. Remove and let cool completely.
- Coconut Topping: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, corn syrup, and salt. Stir until sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and let the mixture boil until it reaches 240°F on a candy thermometer (soft-ball stage). Remove from heat and carefully pour into a mixing bowl. Beat on high speed with an electric mixer for 5–7 minutes until thick, glossy, and white. Add vanilla and food coloring if using, then fold in the shredded sweetened coconut. Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the marshmallow layer. Sprinkle the top with unsweetened coconut and gently press to adhere. Chill for 30–60 minutes before slicing into squares.
Notes
- You can tint the marshmallow-coconut topping any color to match holidays or parties.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
