I am pretty good at controlling myself when it comes to desserts- I can usually get away with just a bite or two and then tell myself no more.
Except when it comes to brownies.
My Mom’s Marshmallow Brownies are my absolute downfall. I could devour a whole pan in just one sitting.
German Chocolate brownies are also one of my guilty pleasures. My grandma has the best recipe for the gooey coconut frosting (which I could eat by itself with a spoon) and when you combine it with a fudgy, chewy brownie, it’s nothing short of heaven.
I dare you to eat just one!

- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Frosting:
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten

- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 3/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup chocolate chips, melted (optional)
Brownies:

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13" baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a bowl, add oil, sugar, and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs and mix again.
- Add flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt to wet ingredients; incorporate thoroughly.
- Pour batter into pan and bake for 22-28 minutes (or until brownie starts to pull away from the sides of the pan).
- While brownies cool, prepare frosting. Mix evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter and vanilla together in a sauce pan. Stir constantly over medium heat until it comes to a slow boil. Cook, stirring constantly until it thickens - about 10 to 11 minutes (it must be cooked that long). Remove saucepan from heat and stir in coconut and pecans. Let frosting cool before spreading on cooled brownies.
- Drizzle brownies with melted chocolate, if so desired.
