Easy Snowman Brookies

Say hello to your new favorite winter treat: Snowman Brookies! This Easy Snowman Brookies Recipe is the perfect combo of fudgy brownies, hot cocoa and marshmallow chips, and those super cute snowman sugar cookies we all know and love. Add some snowflake sprinkles for a little extra color, and you’ve got a dessert that’s just as fun to make as it is to eat. Perfect for sharing at holiday parties, gifting to friends, or keeping for yourself because, let’s be real, they’re that good!

Tips for Variations

• Peppermint Brookies: Add crushed candy canes to the brownie batter for a minty twist!
• Double Chocolate Delight: Mix in dark chocolate chips instead of the hot cocoa and marshmallow chips for a rich chocolate flavor. 
• Nutty Snowman Brookies: Stir chopped pecans or walnuts into the brownie layer for added texture.
• Holiday Themes: Swap the snowman toppers for Christmas trees, gingerbread men, or snowflake-shaped cookies to fit other festive themes.

Storage Tips

1. Store the brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you’d like them fudgier, be sure to stick them in the fridge. 
2. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving for the best texture.
3. Place parchment paper between layers to prevent the brookies from sticking together. 
4. Freezing: Wrap each brookie individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the fridge overnight or at room temperature.
5. Heating them up! Want to warm up your brookies? Maybe even serve them with a scoop of ice cream? Warm each individual brookie in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to restore their soft and gooey texture. Just a heads up- if you added sprinkles, they may melt a bit depending on the brand!

Winter just got a whole lot sweeter with these festive Snowman Brookies! This recipe is the ultimate mash-up of chewy brownies, seasonal baking chips, and the CUTEST snowman sugar cookies all in one pan. It’s easy enough for a last-minute baking session but still impressive enough to wow at a holiday party. Trust me, this dessert is the kind of magic that happens when brownies and sugar cookies decide to team up for the season.

First, let’s talk about those Nestle Toll House Hot Cocoa and Marshmallow Baking Chips. I was way too excited when I found them. Hot cocoa and marshmallow is the best cold weather combo. Fold them in, and you’ve got a brownie that tastes like you dunked it into a mug of hot chocolate.And of course I had to add snowflake sprinkles…they add the best pop of color. Also in my world, sprinkles make everything better. (Pro tip: the ones from A Great Surprise are easy to find on Amazon!)

After you’ve sprinkled the snowflakes, place the snowmen cookies on top. Arrange them in a neat little grid so every piece has its own frosty friend. It’s like decorating without the extra hassle—just press them into the batter and bake! The result? Perfectly baked brownies with a cookie baked right on top. Holiday brookie goals!

Kids will LOVE these, so serve these bars at your next winter party, or package them up for neighbors and friends as a sweet holiday gift. Either way, this recipe guarantees the cutest brookies that’ll be ready in no time!
