These Do-Si-Do Brownies are the ultimate comfort food dessert, combining a dense, fudgy chocolate base with a nostalgic sweet-and-salty topping. The brownie batter is rich with cocoa and vanilla, baked until just set before being smothered in a mixture of melted marshmallows, peanut butter chips, and crushed Do-Si-Do cookies. The result is a texture contrast that is irresistible: chewy brownie, gooey marshmallow, and crunchy cookie bits. Finished with a simple chocolate-peanut butter icing, these squares are perfect for potlucks, birthday parties, or when you need a serious chocolate fix. They look impressive but come together with pantry staples, making them a favorite for any home baker who loves peanut butter and chocolate.
