Mmm… yes, just yes. These Hot Chocolate Brownies with Marshmallow Swirl were the perfect ending to a crazy, hectic week and tasted just the way I envisioned them.

All I wanted was a fun little treat to end the week, and instead what I got was addicting bites of chocolaty goodness. I am not complaining, I ate several.

After making our hot chocolate cupcakes last week, we decided to see if we could find a Hot Chocolate Brownie recipe, and indeed, we did find one.

We tweaked it a bit to suit our own taste, but it was totally worth it. And I give you… Hot Chocolate Brownies with Marshmallow.

Let’s enjoy some Hot Chocolate Brownies with Marshmallow Swirl on this cold wintery night!

Thanks for another super creative recipe Nicole! Everyday I am waiting to see what is next and these treats never disappoint! Would have never thought of hot chocolate brownies, but why not? They look scrumptious. Love that swirl.

Do you have to have chocolate chips?

  I suppose you don’t, but it will change the consistancy of the final product a bit. However, Still will taste great, and look great I’m sure.

What size pan? 8×8 or 9×9?
- Nicole Cook

  I usually use an 8×8 pan, but for the most part, you can use either. It would only be about 2-3 minutes difference which I already account for in cooking temperature since all ovens are different anyway and everyone uses different pans.

Does “cocoa” mean cocoa powder or hot cocoa mix?
- Nicole Cook

  Hi Kimberly, cocoa powder. They are called Hot Chocolate Cupcakes but they require traditional baking products. 🙂 Hope you enjoy them!

Can I replace chocolate chips with walnuts?
- Nicole Cook

  Sure you can replace the chocolate chips with walnuts, however they will have a different flavor than the “hot chocolate” flavor we were going for. I bet they will be delicious!

2 years late, ill be shocked if you reply .
What do you think adding a bit of philadelphia to the marshmallow would do? I really like the taste of the 2 mixed, but Im worried the philadelphia would have a bad reaction after baking

  Hi Inga,
  I have never done this before, so I actually can’t say how it would work. However, I have baked cream cheese before in a brownie, and it seems ok. My only thought is the texture of the swirls might be different since it’s a different mix, but I’d like to think it would still taste good.
  Check back and let me know how it goes.
