Nick’s favorite thing…
I love how cute these are! The brownie layer at the bottom is dense and decadent and the marshmallow layer on top is lighter than air! And have you ever tried homemade marshmallows before? They’re totaly different from store-bought! More on that below.
What do marshmallow brownie bars taste like?
Homemade marshmallows are light. They’re not chewy like store-bought ones. Sure you can make them chewy using a different recipe, but this recipe is simply divine! The brownie layer at the bottom is so rich and chocolatey which is perfectly complemented by the marshmallow layer. And those sprinkles on top? Just cute!
What are the ingredients I need for marshmallow brownie bars ?
Dark chocolate – I used Nestle baking buttons.
Unsalted butter – Make sure your butter is cooled slightly after it’s melted.
Caster sugar – also known as superfine sugar.
Egg – I used a large egg.
Vanilla Extract – Always use good quality vanilla extract when baking, it makes a huge difference. I have a great recipe here for it if you’d like to try your own!
All-purpose flour – also known as plain flour.
Cocoa powder – I used unsweetened cocoa powder.
Salt – I used fine salt.
Dark chocolate chips – I used the nestle brand. Btw, any chocolate will do. White, dark or milk, you pick!
Gelatin – I used powdered gelatin.
Strawberry flavoring – I used the Roberts brand flavoring.
Pink Food gel – I used chefmaster.
Rainbow Sprinkles – If you want to try making your own, check out my easy to make sprinkle recipe here!
My Top Tips!
- Make sure you let the brownies cool completely before adding the marshmallow layer on top. Der fred? Amirite?
- When making the marshmallow layer, work quickly. Once that mixture is whipped, it will set quickly. Especial if it’s a cold day.

Can I use White chocolate instead of Dark in the brownie? and replace the cocoa with equal weight flour?
Absolutely! N x
Strawberry flavoring? Are you referring to extract? Cannot wait to try this!
Hi Nicole Extract is something derived from the actual fruit of vegetable, like Lemon extract. In this case, it’s flavouring because it’s artificial! Hope that helps!
