Coffee Nutella Marshmallow Brownies
Baby Boy has been begging for marshmallows lately so I bought two bags. There was NO way that he was eating all of them which is how Coffee Nutella Marshmallow Brownies came about.
I chose to make brownies for two reasons; they are easy and they are the perfect dessert during the lazy-hazy-crazy days of summer.
When I went into the pantry to grab my ingredients for Coffee Nutella Marshmallow Brownies, I noticed that there were two jars of nutella and that both had been opened. That just didn’t seem right so I had to dwindle the supply down.
Nutella and marshmallows are sweet so I adjusted the sugar in the brownie recipe and also added instant espresso powder to balance the flavors.
To say that Coffee Nutella Marshmallow Brownies were a hit would be an understatement. I made two batches and sent them in to Baby Boy’s teachers. I got the best thank you notes ever. Yet, I have to confess; I sent almost all of the brownies to the school because I couldn’t stop eating them.
You have been warned!
