Ingredients

• For the brownie layer:
• 1 box dark chocolate fudge cake mix
• 1/3 cup evaporated milk
• 1 stick of butter, melted
• Preheat oven to 350. Line an 8×8 or 7×11 pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, mix ingredients together until fully combined. Pat evenly into prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes, until it puffs up and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Place on a rack until completely cool.
• For vanilla layer:
• 1 stick butter, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 3 Tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or equal amount of vanilla extract)
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 1 cup chocolate covered peanuts, coarsely chopped

Preparation

Step 1

In the bowl of a mixer, beat butter, milk and vanilla on medium-low speed until smooth. Slowly add powdered sugar until just barely mixed in. Increase speed to high and beat for about a minute, until light and fluffy. Spread over cooled brownies and top with chocolate covered peanuts and marshmallows, pressing in gently. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the chocolate.

For the chocolate:

4 Tablespoons butter

2 Tablespoons cocoa powder

2 Tablespoons milk

2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add cocoa powder and milk and stir until just boiling and thick. Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Remove brownies from refrigerator and pour chocolate frosting over the top.
