Outrageous Fudge Marshmallow Brownies

We're a brownie house. We always have a box of Aldi brownie mix in the house. Always. Growing up my mom would occasionally frost the brownies, but most often they were dusted with powdered sugar.  This is the way I usually make them.  However, if I want to totally impress someone, I make these.  They're the best!

The base is the standard Aldi brownie mix made according to the box.  The marshmallows and frosting are the magic that make these outrageously good.  

Outrageous Fudge Marshmallow Brownies

18.3 oz package Aldi Fudge Brownie Mix + Ingredients to prepare (oil, eggs, water)

2 c. mini marshmallows

6 Tbsp half and half

6 Tbsp butter

1 1/2 c. white sugar

1/2 c. chocolate chips

Instructions:

Prepare brownie mix according to package directions.  Pour into 9x13 pan and bake 25 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle marshmallows over prepared brownies. Turn off oven.  Place brownies back in hot oven that's been turned off until they puff up about 2-3 minutes. Remove from oven.

When brownies are about half-way through baking, start making frosting.  In a medium size saucepan bring half and half, butter and white sugar to a boil. Boil for one minute, stirring frequently not to scorch the bottom. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips, stirring mixture until they are completely melted and frosting is smooth. Immediately spread over brownies.

Let brownies cool approximately 2-3 hours before cutting.  Store in an air tight container.
