Ingredients
- 1 (18 ounce) brownie mix
- 4 cups miniature marshmallows

- Heat on high for 30 seconds.
- Stir and repeat until chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Cup of Yum
Notes
- Do not cut the brownies before the topping has set up. They will not hold together properly, resulting in a sticky mess.
- Use whatever brownie mix is your favorite.
- Brownie mixes can vary in size, but you want something around 18 ounces. Anything from 17-20 ounces will work.
- Lining the pan with parchment paper will help you life the brownies out of the pan and make it easier to cut and not stick.
