Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to the temperature that is stated on your brownie mix. The one that I used told me to set it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9x9 pan with some non-stick cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment and then spray the paper with another layer of cooking spray. Set the pan aside for just a second.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the brownie mix with the ingredients needed to make the brownies. Mine called for 1 egg, ¼ cup of water and ⅓ cup vegetable oil.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread the batter out evenly in the pan.
  • Bake for the time indicated on your brownie mix. My called for a bake time of 25-30 minutes.
  • While the brownies are baking, in a small bowl stir together the toasted coconut, corn starch and pink food colouring. Set aside until the brownies are done baking.
  • Once the brownies have finished baking, remove from the oven and immediately top with the marshmallow fluff. The heat from the brownies will melt the fluff a little and that will allow you to smooth it out in an even layer.
  • Immediately top with the pink coconut and lightly press it into the top of the marshmallow creme. Pop the pan in the fridge to chill completely for at least 1 hour but up to overnight if needed.
  • Lift the brownies out of the pan and slice and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easy removal: Lining your pan prevents sticking and allows you to lift the brownies out cleanly for slicing
  • Spread marshmallow while brownies are hot: The heat helps the marshmallow soften and spread smoothly into an even layer
  • Don’t overbake the brownies: Slightly underbaking keeps them soft, fudgy, and prevents a dry texture
  • Mix the coconut coating evenly: Make sure the color and cornstarch are fully blended so the topping looks smooth and consistent
  • Chill completely before slicing: Refrigerating allows the layers to set properly and gives you clean, sharp cuts
  • Use a lightly greased knife for slicing: Prevents the marshmallow layer from sticking and tearing
  • Press coconut gently into the topping: Helps it stick without flattening the fluffy marshmallow layer
