Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownies:

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For Decoration:

  • 12 large marshmallows
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (adjust for consistency)
  • Black gel icing (for eyes and mouth)
  • Orange candy pieces (or orange gel icing for the carrot nose)
  • Mini chocolate chips or candy for buttons
  • Pretzel sticks (optional for arms)

Instructions

  1. Make the Brownies:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
    • In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
    • Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
    • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
    • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the brownies cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Decorations:
    • In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and milk to create a glaze. The consistency should be thick but spreadable.
    • Microwave marshmallows for about 5–8 seconds each to soften slightly (do this one at a time).
  3. Assemble the Snowmen:
    • Cut the brownies into squares. Drizzle or spread the glaze on top to create the “melted” snow effect.
    • Place a softened marshmallow slightly off-center on each brownie to represent the snowman’s head.
    • Use black gel icing to draw eyes and a mouth on the marshmallow. Add an orange candy or icing for the nose.
    • Use mini chocolate chips or candy for buttons below the marshmallow. Insert pretzel sticks on the sides for arms, if desired.
  4. Let Set and Serve:
    • Allow the decorations to set for about 15–20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use your favorite brownie recipe or a boxed mix for convenience.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Be creative with decorations—kids will love designing their own snowmen!
