How to make Snowman Brownies : a step by step guide
Bake the Brownies
Prepare the brownie mix as directed on the box.
Bake and let cool completely before cutting into squares.
Top with Marshmallows
Place one stuffed chocolate marshmallow in the center of each brownie square.
Add White Icing
Generously spoon or pipe white icing over the marshmallow, letting it drip down the sides naturally. This gives your Snowman Brownies their signature “melting” look.
Decorate the Faces
Use black icing to pipe two eyes and a small dotted mouth.
Add an orange carrot nose with orange icing.
Serve and Enjoy
Let the icing set slightly if you want a firmer look, or serve right away for the ultimate melty snowman vibe.
Snowman Brownies: SIDE IDEA
For me, recipes like Snowman Brownies aren’t just about the food—it’s about the memories that come with them. My kids love taking turns decorating the little snowman faces, and it often ends in laughter and a little extra icing everywhere. Those are the moments that stick with you long after the holiday season is over.
As a Crazy Busy Mama, I’m always reminding myself (and you!) that holiday traditions don’t have to be complicated. It’s about being present, making memories, and finding joy in the little things. And what better way to do that than with a plate full of smiling Snowman Brownies?
Crazy Busy Mama Tip
Draw the faces at room temperature! The marker works much better when the plastic isn’t chilled, so decorate after your cups have sat out for a bit.
