Ingredients

  • 1 box 18.3 oz brownie mix
  • 2/3 c. vegetable oil
  • 1/4 c. milk or water
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 c. chocolate chips
  • 24 marshmallows
  • 1 container buttercream or vanilla frosting
  • black quins

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the brownie mix with the oil, water, and eggs using the directions on the box. You can substitute milk for the water if desired. Mix for 1 minute.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and bake according to the package directions (between 25-30 minutes)
  • Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Cut the brownie into 1 or 1 1/2 inch squares.
  • Put a small dot of frosting on a marshmallow and stick it on top of each brownie.
  • Heat the frosting in the microwave in 20 seconds intervals, stirring after each interval, until pourable but not too thin.
  • Spoon the frosting over top of each marshmallow, covering completely. Allow excess frosting to drip down the sides.
  • Push 2 quins into the frosting as eyes and 1 for the mouth. If you don't have quins place two dots of black frosting for the eyes and 1 dot of black frosting for the mouth.
  • Allow the frosting to cool and harden for 1 hour before storing in an air tight container or serving.
