Lauren's Kitchen: Marshmallow Swirl Brownies

Marshmallow Swirl Brownies

When I was at Jen's Pampered Chef party last weekend, Brooke brought these awesome Marshmallow Swirl Brownies that she found on, get this, the Pillsbury box. I don't think I've ever even thought to look right below where the directions end - clever! :)

They were so ridiculously delicious (not to mention EASY!) and I couldn't wait to make them myself for our baby-playdate with Colleen. I made them in my Pampered Chef "large bar pan," but any pan would do. Actually, I will probably make them in my 9x13 next time so that they're slightly thicker. Or, I can just use two boxes...

Ingredients

Cooking Spray
1 pkg family-sized fudge brownie mix (plus whatever ingredients are listed on the box)
1 (7 oz) jar marshmallow creme
1/3 cup chocolate frosting

Heat oven to 350. Prepare brownies as indicated on package with oil, water and eggs. Cool completely.

Spread a thin layer of marshmallow creme over brownies. Place frosting in microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 10-20 seconds. Stir until smooth. Drizzle frosting over marshmallow creme. Swirl with knife.

Refrigerate 15 minutes. To cut cleanly, spray a knife with non-stick cooking spray as needed. Store loosely covered in the refrigerator.

Before my wedding in 2003, my idea of cooking was Kraft mac and cheese. My mother and my mother-in-law even left me several boxes of the blue box on my counter the day we returned from our honeymoon. I believe a few showed up in the wishing well at my bridal shower, too.

Once I became a Mrs, however, I figured I'd need to step it up in the kitchen.

I rarely prepared anything from scratch, though; it was frozen stuff chicken and rice in a pouch all the way.

About a year (and 20lbs) later, I decided that something needed to change in the kitchen. I went on a diet and lost the weight, but knew I needed to lose the habits too.

Armed with Rachael Ray cookbooks and the internet, I slowly began to expand my repertoire. I joined an online cooking forum and subscribed to about eleventy billion cooking blogs.

Cooking remains a challenge, however, as two sweet little boys joined our family over the last few years. Coupled with my full time job, I look for meals that are healthy and easy.

I also discovered a love for photography along the way, and while I'm about as unprofessional behind the camera as they come, I really enjoy honing my skills on my dinner - mainly because it can't run away like my two wild boys can.

I love maintaining this blog, and I hope you like visiting.
