Melted Snowman Brownies
Description
This recipe features brownies made from melted unsalted butter and dark chocolate combined with almond meal, cocoa powder, caster sugar, and eggs to create a dense and moist base. Once baked until just set but still tender, the brownies are topped with a glossy mixture of white marshmallows and cream heated until combined. This marshmallow topping adds a light, sweet contrast to the rich brownie.
The frosting is then decorated to look like snowmen using small licorice pieces for eyes and hats, and orange icing shaped into tiny carrot noses. Resting the licorice hats on halves of marshmallows adds charm and dimension. These brownies offer a playful texture contrast between fudgy cake and fluffy marshmallow, making them suitable for festive occasions or themed parties.
The baking time is carefully controlled to finish brownies firm to the touch but moist inside, avoiding dryness. Using almond meal adds a subtle nutty depth and tenderness to the brownies’ crumb. The decorations can be adjusted by swapping similar candies. Serve these cold or at room temperature to best enjoy the marshmallow topping texture.

To make the Marshmallow snow man
- Put the marshmallows into a jug or bowl with the cream. Blitz for 30 seconds in a micro wave and then stir to combine. Cool slightly. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon onto each brownie. Cool
- Meanwhile make tiny balls for the eyes with the liquorice and the tiny hats with this liquorice as well.
