These pink treats will bring you back to your childhood when Hostess made Sno-Ball brownies. The brownies have a fudgy consistency and are covered with the famed sweet, pink coconut. They are almost too pretty to eat!
1 stick salted butter, melted
1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 c. granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 t. vanilla extract
2/3 c. flour
3 - 1.55 oz. Hershey's milk chocolate bars, melted in the microwave
7 oz. jar marshmallow fluff or creme
2/3 c. sweetened, shredded coconut
1 drop pink food coloring
1 T. cornstarch
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 x 8 inch pan with aluminum foil; spray with non-stick spray; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk butter and cocoa powder together until cocoa is dissolved and mixture is thick. Stir in sugar until combined. Stir in eggs until combined. Add vanilla. Add flour, stirring just until no white streaks remain in batter. Fold in melted candy bars. Pour batter in prepared pan; spread evenly.
Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out with fudgy crumbs, not raw batter. Let cool about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine coconut, cornstarch and pink coloring in a blender or food processor; pulse several times until coconut is more finely shredded and pink.
Spoon marshmallow fluff over the top of the warm brownies; let sit for a few minutes.The still warm brownies will soften the marshmallow, making it easier to spread. Spread marshmallow evenly over the brownies; sprinkle coconut over the surface, pressing gently with your hands.
Refrigerate brownies until cool and firm.
Serve.
9 servings.
*Keep brownies in the refrigerator so that the marshmallow doesn't melt.
