Prep Time: 25 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until the mixture is well blended and smooth. The batter will be thick.
- Using a spoon or a spatula, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the brownie batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You should have about 20 small mounds of batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked. Keep an eye on them to ensure they do not overbake.
- Once baked, remove the brownie brittle from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the brownie brittle is cooling, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the orange marmalade and marshmallow fluff. Mix well until the two ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
- Once the brownie brittle has cooled, take one piece and spread a generous tablespoon of the orange marmalade filling on the flat side. Top with another piece of brownie brittle, flat side down, to create a sandwich. Press gently to adhere.
- Repeat the filling process with the remaining brownie brittle pieces until all are filled, creating a total of 10 whoopie pies.
- For a finishing touch, dust the tops of the whoopie pies with powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy your delicious Brownie Brittle Whoopie Pies with Orange Marmalade Filling!
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the brownie mix, eggs, and oil, mix just until the ingredients are combined to ensure your brownie brittle remains tender and not too chewy.
- Watch the Bake Time: Keep a close eye on the brownie brittle as it bakes. You want the edges to be set while the tops should look slightly cracked. This ensures the perfect texture!
- Cooling is Key: Allow the brownie brittle to cool completely before adding the filling. This prevents the filling from melting and helps maintain the structure of your whoopie pies.
- Customize Your Filling: While the orange marmalade adds a delightful zing, feel free to experiment with other fillings like raspberry jam or even peanut butter for a different flavor profile.
- Presentation Matters: A light dusting of powdered sugar not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a touch of sweetness. Consider using a fine mesh sieve for an even dusting.
- Storage Tips: Store your whoopie pies in an airtight container to keep them fresh. They can be enjoyed at room temperature for up to three days—if they last that long!
