Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup red velvet cake mix

Marshmallow Swirl

1/2 cup marshmallow cream

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan thoroughly to ensure the brownies don’t stick.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder to evenly distribute the leavening agents and cocoa.
Blend Batters: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until well blended but not overmixing. Then, gently fold in the red velvet cake mix until just combined to maintain a tender texture.
Add Batter to Pan: Spread the combined batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the surface for uniform baking.
Swirl Marshmallow Cream: Dollop the marshmallow cream over the batter in several spots. Using a knife or skewer, swirl the marshmallow into the batter to create a marbled effect without fully mixing it.
Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares to ensure clean edges and optimal texture.

Notes

Use full-fat marshmallow cream for the best texture and flavor.
Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to keep the brownies fudgy.
Check the brownies a few minutes before baking time is up to avoid overbaking.
Ensure the pan is well greased or lined with parchment for easy removal.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
