Every year when Easter comes around, I just about break down the door to the store to get to those dad-blasted Heavenly Hash Eggs. You know… the marshmallow and almonds covered in chocolate? I am totally addicted to those things. I attribute my obsession to my mother, bless her heart. She put those things in my Easter basket every year. Well, she and I put our heads together to bring y’all these delicious Heavenly Hash Brownies. They are an ooey-gooey mess of deliciousness, but I promise they are worth the mess… and the calories.
You start with a boxed brownie mix and go from there, making them super easy. Now, you’re welcome to make your own brownies from scratch. But who has the time? It’s okay to cut corners every now and then… right!?!? ~grins~
Y’all, you’ll have to bear with me this week. I’m gonna be away from Southern Bite more than normal. I’m super busy with work and a few little side projects I hope I’ll be able to share with y’all soon. So, bear with me. You’ll still get some great recipes, I just might not be as quick to respond to emails and comments as usual.
Ingredients
- 1 box of brownie mix prepared to box directions
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 tablespoons buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
- Prepare brownies to package directions and remove from oven, leaving oven on.
- Top with marshmallows and return to hot oven until marshmallows puff up and melt slightly.
This is a good example of too much time in the oven. You probably don’t want them to actually toast, just melt. - Remove from oven and top with almonds, cool.
- In a medium sauce pan, combine margarine, buttermilk, and cocoa powder. Cook until boiling.
- Remove from heat and add sugar and vanilla. Allow icing to cool for 15 minutes.
- Pour icing over almonds and marshmallows. Allow to cool completely before cutting. (Regardless, they WILL be messy, but oh so good!)

This reminds me of Texas Sheet Cake, but with so much extra yumminess on top. Love those Heavenly Hash eggs! Now what ideas might you have for Gold Brick Eggs??? Do you remember K&B drugs stores & their gold brick ice cream? Man, that was so good!
Gosh, I love those Gold Brick Eggs, too! I remember K&B quite well!

Late to this party, but is this baked in an 8×8 pan or 13×9? Just wondering if the icing will stretch for the larger size pan.
My mama loved Heavenly Hash – she’d put them in our Easter baskets, but somehow they’d disappear before we ever got around to eating them, because we’d go for the Gold Bricks first lol
This is an 8×8. There’s a chance you could use a large brownie mix and bake it in a 9×13, but I can’t be sure if the other toppings will make enough to cover it.

Oh, Stacey – I knew we had to be kin ????
I love me some Heavenly Hash eggs too. Wish they were available year round. But since they aren’t these brownies will make a wonderful substitute. Thanks for posting the recipe. Love your website.
Ha! Thanks so much! They are certainly one of my favs. I’ve already started looking for them.

I love your site!!. You have many fantastic recipes. I might be partial to your site since I am also Southern! I do have one question: When the recipe tells you to add the nuts to the icing, what nuts is it talking about? The almonds were placed on the brownies before the icing. I think I will make these for Easter. Thank you for all your time & effort to give us such great recipes. Have a great Easter.
Thanks, Debbie. You are too sweet. Yeah, those directions were about as clear as mud. Sorry about that. It’s fixed now. Not nuts in the icing. 🙂

I am brand new to this site and am enjoying the recipes, and would surely like to know– WHO IS LAURA?
Laura is my best friend and co-author of the blog. She does all of the events and culture posts. Why do you ask?

These look so delicious I can’t wait to make them. They will definitely be on our dessert table for Easter but I will be making them before Easter. I just love brownies, but these seemed to be extra special. They look so good I wish I had some right now…LOL… I hope the word gets around so everyone will know about this delicious Easter dessert.
Me too, Elizabeth! Let me know how they turn out for you!
Melody
Look yummy. I’m serving leftovers for dinner tonight. Maybe I’ll be forgiven if I fix these. I can’t stand to see food waste but leftoever night might be more popular with a good dessert.
Sounds like a GREAT idea!

These look WONDERFUL! I’m getting the “stuff” to make these this weekend. I wonder if you might use chopped pecans or chopped walnuts in place of the sliced almonds? I prefer these nuts to the almonds.
Thanks.
Absolutely! Almonds are a little more traditional when it comes to “Heavenly Hash” but I actually prefer pecans! 🙂 Enjoy!
