Best Heavenly Hash Brownies

You know those recipes that sneak into your heart and quietly become a family classic? Yeah—this is one of those. These Heavenly Hash Brownies are rich, gooey, nostalgic, and ridiculously easy to whip up on a weeknight or for a potluck treat that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen (spoiler alert: you didn’t).

Honestly, I blame my chocolate cravings (and Easter candy sales) for this one. Remember those old-school Heavenly Hash eggs? Chocolate, marshmallows, almonds… basically all the best parts of the candy aisle in one bite. Well, this brownie version is my little homemade spin that captures that same magic—without needing a candy mold or a holiday excuse.

Ingredients You Probably Already Have

One of the best things about this recipe? No need for fancy ingredients or pricey baking tools. Just simple pantry staples doing big things:

For the brownie base:

• 1 cup butter (that’s two sticks, and yes, use the real stuff)
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt

For the heavenly hash topping:

• 3 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped almonds or pecans (your call—go with what’s on hand)

For the chocolate glaze:

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• Splash of vanilla

Let’s Get Baking

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 pan. (No need for fancy parchment here—cooking spray works fine.)
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave, then stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until it’s smooth and shiny.
3. Whisk in cocoa, flour, and salt. Don’t overthink it—just mix until you don’t see dry flour anymore.
4. Pour into pan and bake for 25–30 minutes until it looks set and a toothpick comes out with just a few fudgy crumbs.
5. Immediately top with mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and nuts. Pop it back in the oven for 2–3 minutes to get everything gooey.
6. While that magic happens, whip up your glaze: melt butter, cocoa, and milk in a small saucepan. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
7. Drizzle the glaze all over the marshmallow topping. Let cool (if you can wait), slice, and devour.

Tips & Swaps

• No almonds? Use pecans, walnuts, or skip the nuts altogether if allergies are a thing.
• Want it more chocolatey? Use dark chocolate chips or even add a few peanut butter chips to the topping.
• Budget hack: Store brands work just fine here. No one will know. Promise.

A Brownie That Brings People Together

What I love most about these Heavenly Hash Brownies—beyond the ooey-gooey, chocolate-marshmallow combo—is how they bring people in. Whether it’s your toddler licking glaze off a spoon, your teen sneaking seconds before dinner, or your neighbor popping over “just to drop something off” (uh-huh), this is one of those recipes that turns your kitchen into the favorite spot on the block. It’s the kind of dessert that doesn’t need a holiday or a reason. Just good vibes, sweet bites, and maybe a few sticky fingers around the edges.

Final Thoughts

This is one of those treats that makes people pause after the first bite—then ask for the recipe. It’s indulgent without being complicated, nostalgic without being fussy, and budget-friendly to boot. Whether you’re baking for your kids, your coworkers, or just yourself (I see you, late-night brownie snackers), these Heavenly Hash Brownies are a keeper.
