Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 box brownie mix (prepared and baked according to package instructions)

Ganache

  • 200 g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 125 ml cream

Toppings

  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup glace cherries
  • 1 cup pecan nuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare Brownies: Mix and bake the brownies following the package instructions. Once baked, allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. If needed, trim off the top crust for an even surface.
  2. Make Ganache: Combine the chopped dark chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe jug. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each session, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  3. Apply Ganache Base: Pour about three-quarters of the ganache evenly over the cooled brownies, spreading gently to cover the surface.
  4. Add Toppings and Finish Ganache: Sprinkle mini marshmallows, glace cherries, and pecan nuts evenly over the ganache layer. Drizzle the remaining ganache over the toppings. Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the ganache to set firmly.
  5. Serve: Once set, cut the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy the combination of fudgy chocolate, sweet marshmallows, tart cherries, and crunchy nuts.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the ganache to enhance flavor.
  • Let brownies cool fully before adding ganache to prevent it from melting too much.
  • Optional: Toast the pecans lightly for extra flavor and crunch.
  • Store brownies in the refrigerator to keep the ganache firm.
  • Can be served chilled or at room temperature.
