Ingredients
  

For the Brownies
  • 1 box Brownie Mix A convenient base for a quick dessert; feel free to swap it for a homemade brownie recipe.
  • 200 g Dark Chocolate Adds rich flavor to the ganache; choose a high-quality chocolate for the best results.
  • 125 ml Cream Creates a silky ganache; heavy cream is ideal for that luxurious texture.
For the Toppings
  • 2 cups Mini Marshmallows Provide sweetness and gooeyness; regular marshmallows, chopped, work great too.
  • 1 cup Glace Cherries Offers vibrant color and flavor; substitute with dried cherries for a chewier experience.
  • 1 cup Pecan Nuts Adds delightful crunch; you can also use walnuts or almonds if you prefer.
Optional Ganache Drizzle
  • to taste Extra Dark Chocolate Create an appealing look and extra indulgence on top.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Prepare the brownie mixture according to the instructions on the box.
  2. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely in the pan.
  3. Make the ganache by chopping dark chocolate, heating cream in 30-second intervals, pouring hot cream over chocolate, and stirring until smooth.
  4. Once cooled, pour about three-quarters of the ganache over the brownies and spread it evenly.
  5. Sprinkle mini marshmallows, chopped glace cherries, and pecan nuts evenly over the ganache-covered brownies.
  6. Drizzle remaining ganache over the topped brownies and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  7. Carefully remove from the pan using parchment paper, slice into squares, and serve.
