Sweet Jumbles‘ “busy season” (November-December) has passed and we took three weeks off to enjoy the holidays and test out some new recipes. During this time, we also tried some delicious recipes using Sweet Jumbles marshmallows as ingredients.
Brownies are a go-to favorite. In the summertime, they’re popular à la mode; in the wintertime, alongside a hot beverage. Some people make their brownies from scratch, others turn to the tried and true box mixes.
The recipe below creates a very fudgy brownie – dense and sticky! If cake brownies are your preference, you may not be happy with this recipe. But here’s the great thing: the concept behind these brownies can be carried over into any brownie recipe. If you have a favorite go-to brownie, simply add in the marshmallows as described below. If you use a brownie mix from the box, same thing – just add the marshmallows as described! So, adjust this to your taste and skill level as needed.
We used vanilla bean marshmallows for this recipe. You could turn these into a crazy chocolate overload by using Chocolate marshmallows (of which we have several varieties!).

I’m obsessed with marshmallows in brownies…I don’t know why, it’s just delish! And these brownies prove my point perfectly!
