Prepare and Bake the Brownies
Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper, then prepare the brownie mix following the box instructions.
Pour the batter into the lined dish and bake for 30 minutes at 180°C (350°F). Allow brownies to cool completely, about an hour.
Make the Marshmallow Topping
In a medium bowl, combine the marshmallow fluff and vanilla frosting, stirring until fully mixed.
Color the Coconut
In another bowl, add the shredded coconut and 2-3 drops of pink food coloring. Stir well, adding more drops as needed until the coconut has a bright “snoball” pink color.

Notes
- Perfect Baking Dish: Use parchment paper in the baking dish for easy removal and clean edges on your brownies.
- Even Cooling: Let the brownies cool completely, about an hour, before adding the marshmallow layer. This helps the topping spread evenly without melting into the brownies and keeps it perfectly layered.
- Mixing Marshmallow Topping: Take your time mixing the marshmallow fluff and frosting to ensure a smooth, creamy topping. Stir until there are no lumps, so it spreads easily across the brownies for a consistent texture.
- Coloring Coconut: Add food coloring gradually to reach the perfect pink shade without over-saturating.
- Pressing Coconut: Lightly press the colored coconut into the marshmallow topping once it’s sprinkled on. This helps it stick better, so the coconut stays in place when you cut and serve the brownies.
- Slicing Tips: For clean, professional-looking slices, use a sharp knife, and wipe it with a damp cloth between each cut. This trick helps avoid dragging the topping and coconut through each slice.
