Make brownies extra special for Easter with a topping of marshmallows and sugar-coated chocolate beans.
All You Need Is ...
- 40 ml vegetable oil, plus extra for greasing
- 1 box Betty Crocker™ Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix
- 75 ml water
- 1 medium free range egg
For the topping and decorating
- 100 g mini white marshmallows
- 80 g pastel coloured sugar-coated chocolate beans
- 25 g milk chocolate, melted
Betty's Easy Steps
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C for fan assisted ovens)/Gas Mark 4. Grease a 20cm square shallow cake tin and line the base and sides with baking paper.
- Mix the vegetable oil, brownie mix, water and egg together in a bowl until well blended. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared cake tin and bake for 20-22 minutes or until a round-bladed knife inserted into the brownie comes out almost clean. Remove from the oven.
- Sprinkle the marshmallows evenly over the hot brownie and return to the oven for a further 3-4 minutes until the marshmallows are puffed up and slightly melted.
- Remove from the oven and scatter over the sugar-coated chocolate beans and leave to cool completely in the tin.
- Lift the brownie from the tin using the baking paper. Pipe or drizzle the melted chocolate over the brownie. Leave to set, then cut into 9 squares to serve. Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
Betty's Tips
- Instead of sugar-coated chocolate beans, you could use jelly beans or mini sugar-coated chocolate eggs.
- For bite-size brownies that are perfect for little ones, cut the brownie slab into 25 squares.
