How to Make Ghost Marshmallow Brownies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, cut into cubes plus more for pan
  • 1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 5 chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
  • 1/2 cup M&M’s
  • 1/2 cup candy corn
  • 16 large marshmallows
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 3 Tbsp. coconut oil
  • Black decorating gel, for decorating

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a 9×9-inch baking pan with butter and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. Butter the parchment paper.

  2. In a large heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the 1/2 cup of butter and the chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. Remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Then, whisk in the eggs one at a time until everything is fully combined.

  3. Next, whisk in the cocoa powder and salt, then fold in the flour, chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, M&M’s, and candy corn. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.

  4. Bake the brownies for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let them cool completely.

  5. Use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan, then cut them into 16 squares. Arrange the squares on a parchment-paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Top each square with a marshmallow.

  6. In a medium heatproof bowl, microwave the white chocolate chips with coconut oil until melted. Stir until the mixture is smooth.

  7. Drizzle the melted chocolate over each marshmallow-topped brownie. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes until the chocolate is set.

  8. Use black decorating gel to create eyes and a mouth on each marshmallow to give them a ghostly look.

How to Serve Ghost Marshmallow Brownies

Serve these Ghost Marshmallow Brownies as a Halloween treat at parties or family gatherings. They are best enjoyed fresh but can also be served after chilling in the refrigerator, which gives them a nice texture.

How to Store Ghost Marshmallow Brownies

To store, place any leftover brownies in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days or stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tips to Make Ghost Marshmallow Brownies

  • Make sure to cool the brownies completely before adding the marshmallows to prevent them from melting too much.
  • For a more festive look, you can use colored sprinkles or edible eyes instead of black decorating gel.
  • You can substitute the candy corn with other fun Halloween-themed candies for a different flavor.

Variation

You can make these brownies with different types of chocolates or candies based on your preference. For instance, use white chocolate brownies and add colored candies on top for a colorful twist.

FAQs

1. Can I use different types of chocolate chips?
Yes, you can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips if you prefer a different flavor.

2. How do I make the brownies more chocolatey?
You can add an extra 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the batter for a richer chocolate flavor.

3. Can I freeze these brownies?
Yes, you can freeze them. Wrap them well in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Just thaw them in the refrigerator when you’re ready to enjoy.
