# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 9" square baking dish with parchment paper and spray it with baking spray.
02 -
Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it into an even layer. Drop dollops of the fluff onto the brownie batter and gently swirl it in with a knife. It doesn't have to be perfect because it'll bake into the brownies.
03 -
Bake the brownies according to the package instructions and then let them cool completely. For extra fudgy brownies, transfer them to the fridge for an hour or two after cooling.
04 -
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until smooth and fluffy.
05 -
Mix in the marshmallow fluff and continue beating until well incorporated.
06 -
Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed at first, then increasing to medium-high. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix in the vanilla extract and green food coloring until you don't see any streaks of color.
07 -
If the frosting is too thick, add 1-2 tbsp of heavy cream or milk, a little at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. Beat on high speed for another minute or two until light, fluffy, and smooth.
08 -
Spread the frosting onto the cooled brownies. If you don't want to use it all, set the remaining amount aside for another use. Top with gold flakes and Lucky Charms marshmallows.
09 -
Cut into squares and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
For extra fudgy brownies, chill them in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours after they've cooled.
02 -
You can save any leftover frosting for future baking projects.

The green frosting and Lucky Charms marshmallows make these perfect for St. Patrick's Day, but they can be enjoyed year-round.
