Ingredients

Brownies

1 18 oz. box brownie mix (+ eggs, water, and oil, according to package)
96 mini marshmallows (1 ½ -2 cups)

Ganache

4 oz. chocolate chips (about ¾ cup)
1 ½ Tbsp. butter
1 ½ teaspoons milk
1 ½ teaspoons honey (or corn syrup)
holiday sprinkles

Instructions

Mix brownie mix according to the directions on the box.
NOTE: if using my homemade brownie bites recipe it will make 36 bites so you will need 144 mini marshmallows and an extra half batch of ganache.
Grease a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Use a medium cookie scoop (2 Tbsp. size) to scoop batter into the muffin pan.
Bake brownies at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes.
Immediately top each brownie bite with 4 mini marshmallows as soon as they come out of the oven.
Place brownie bites BACK INTO THE OVEN and bake for another 2 minutes until marshmallows look slightly puffy. DO NOT OVERCOOK MARSHMALLOWS.
Allow brownies to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
NOTE: DO NOT try to remove the brownies from the pan while still hot. If you allow them to cool they are much easier to remove.
Use a sharp knife around the edges of each brownie. This will make them easy to remove from the pan.
Microwave glaze ingredients in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds. Stir. Heat an additional 15-20 seconds and stir until melted and smooth. Drizzle the ganache over brownies or add a small spoonful on the top of each one (about a teaspoon).
Top with sprinkles, if desired.
