Servings

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup butter 2 sticks, unsalted
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 2 egg
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp red food coloring (I used 2 - 0.5oz bottles)

FROSTING

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 13 oz marshmallow creme sometimes called marshmallow fluff, jar
  • 1 1/2 - 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

BROWNIES

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 13x9" baking pan with non-stick baking spray.  In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.  Whisk to combine.
  2. To a medium sized saucepan, add butter and water.  Heat over MED heat until butter is melted into the water.  Add cocoa powder and whisk to combine.  Bring to a boil while stirring very often, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Add melted cocoa mixture to the flour mixture and beat on MED speed until combined.Add eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and red food coloring and beat an additional minute or until just combined.
  4. At this point the batter will be thin.  Transfer batter to prepared baking pan.  Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with very few moist crumbs on it.
  5. Cool completely on a wire rack.  

FROSTING

  1. To the bowl of a stand mixer, add softened butter, salt, and cream cheese and beat until light and fluffy.  Add vanilla and beat 20 seconds.
  2. Add powdered sugar and beat until incorporated.  Slow beat in marshmallow creme.
  3. Spread frosting over cooled brownies in the pan, sprinkle with desired sprinkles/decorations and serve.
  4. Keep refrigerated for up to 3-4 days.
