Brownies
- 1 box brownie mix
Cobweb Topping
- 1 cup marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9”x13” baking pan thoroughly with cooking spray to ensure the brownies do not stick.
- Prepare and bake brownies: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box to prepare the batter. Pour the batter evenly into the greased pan. Bake the brownies for 20-25 minutes or according to the box instructions until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely to room temperature before cutting them into squares.
- Melt marshmallows: Place the marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl and heat them in the microwave for about 30 seconds until they become gooey and melted. Stir with a fork until the mixture is smooth, then allow it to cool slightly so it is easier to handle but still pliable.
- Create the cobweb design: Using two forks, carefully stretch about a tablespoon of the melted marshmallow mixture into thin strands. Drape and arrange the strands over the brownies in a spider web pattern. Continue stretching and arranging the strands to cover the surface. Serve immediately for best texture or store uncovered for 1-2 days to retain the cobweb effect.
Notes
- Make sure brownies are completely cooled before applying marshmallow to prevent the topping from melting too much.
- Use fresh marshmallows for easier melting and stretching.
- If marshmallow hardens quickly, warm again briefly for continued use.
- For extra festive appeal, add small edible spiders or Halloween-themed toppers onto the cobweb.
- Store brownies in an airtight container but avoid refrigeration to keep marshmallow strands fresh.
