Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 family-size brownie mix (for 13×9 inch pan)
- Egg, oil, and water as required by brownie mix instructions
Frosting and Topping
- 1 (16-oz) can vanilla cake frosting
- 1 (7-oz) jar marshmallow cream (or marshmallow fluff)
- 3 cups sweetened flaked coconut
- 4-8 drops hot pink food coloring
Instructions
- Prepare and Bake Brownies: Preheat your oven and prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Line a 13×9 inch pan with foil or parchment paper for easy removal. Pour the batter into the pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the brownies cool completely before moving to the next step.
- Mix Frosting and Marshmallow Cream: In a medium bowl, combine the vanilla cake frosting and marshmallow cream. Stir until well blended. Spread this fluffy mixture evenly over the cooled brownies.
- Color the Coconut: Place the sweetened flaked coconut in a separate bowl. Add 2 drops of hot pink food coloring and use a fork to tumble the coconut until the color is evenly distributed. Continue adding food coloring, 2 drops at a time, until the coconut is a bright, vibrant pink.
- Assemble and Serve: Sprinkle the pink coconut generously over the frosting-covered brownies, creating a snowy, colorful topping. Cut into squares and serve. Store leftover brownies at room temperature or in the refrigerator inside an airtight container as preferred.
Notes
- Use a foil or parchment liner in the baking pan for easy removal and cleaner edges.
- Adjust the amount of food coloring to reach your desired shade of pink.
- Store at room temperature for a softer texture or refrigerate for a firmer set.
- Can be made a day ahead for convenience.
- Sweetened coconut is essential for the traditional Sno Ball flavor and texture.
