These Marshmallow Crunch Brownies are decadent, chocolatey, gooey and crispy. Enjoy them as-is or add a scoop of ice cream.

I’ve been seeing these around the web in the last few months and decided that I had to see what the fuss was all about.

So, if you haven’t had them yet, I’ll go ahead and fill you in.

These are soooo not regular brownies. Imagine a fudge brownie, a s’more, and a rice krispie treat combined into one dessert.

They’re absolutely delicious, have layers of flavor, and so easy to make. They’re especially easy because I used a box mix, and I know y’all like that.

And I know, I KNOW I’m late AF to the party for these. It’s probably because I don’t tend to keep up with the sweet stuff.

I leave my stressing out for my savory cooking. I just have an affinity for whipping something sweet together every now and then. Now that my son is back home for a while, and hopefully my daughter will be soon as well, I have kiddos at home to feed again.

Let’s get back to the Marshmallow Crunch Brownies

I love the texture of these brownies. The soft, fudgy brownie and the airy crispiness sandwiches the gooey marshmallow center makes the best brownie experience.

Now that most of us are required by law to be at home most of the time (I’m looking at you, Covid), it’s a great time to do some baking/cooking. Now you can pull up all those links you saved to your bookmarks for when you “had the time”.

I definitely like being at home.

Working at home doesn’t make me feel like I can’t split the two; I enjoy doing both in the same place. It’s really about time management, having a space that is YOURS, and being able to stay in that space long enough to accomplish said work.

I did work from home years ago on and off, so I was already disciplined.

Now’s the time to dig in and find your inner Giada.

Or Bobby Flay.

Or Snoop Dog. ⬅ He has a cookbook, seriously.

You might just discover you actually like to cook. Based on the news, most every human around the globe decided to take up baking and there’s suddenly a yeast shortage.

This past week, I’ve made shrimp scampi, more brownies, Greek meatballs, a roasted chicken, Italian Wedding Soup, and something else.

Oh! I made more pickles.

Today I’m making a special cocktail inspired by this quarantine (not after the virus – it doesn’t deserve a drink) and I’ll probably make more chicken for dinner because I’m craving chicken salad. I love to make a whole chicken, either in my Le Creuset on the stove or the slow cooker, take all of the meat off and separate dark meat from white. Usually I’ll keep the bones for making broth.

Usually.

This last time I didn’t because I was so tired while I was cleaning up, I ended up throwing it all in the trash. When I make one whole chicken (about 3-4 lb.), it usually yields enough for dinner for one night, a batch of chicken salad and a little more leftover for whatever.

I would love to hear what you’ve been making!

These brownies will last for about 3-4 days wrapped tightly. I kinda doubt they’ll last that long, but if there are any leftover, try one with a scoop of ice cream and a little Kahlua on top.
