Yield:Ingredients
Cocoa Puffs Brownies:
- 1 box brownie mix
- 1/2 cup Ovaltine (or other malt powder)
- 1 recipe Vanilla Meringue frosting (below)
- Cocoa Puffs
Vanilla Meringue Frosting
- 3 large egg whites
- 1¼ cup sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp corn syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Mix brownies according to box instructions, adding the 1/2 cup of Ovaltine to the box mix.
- Bake according to box instructions. While the brownies are baking, make the frosting.
- To make the meringue frosting, combine the egg whites, sugar, salt and corn syrup in the top of a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Using a handheld mixer, whip the whites over the simmering water until the whites are warm, the sugar is fully absorbed and the mixture gets thick, almost like marshmallow fluff. Take the whites off of the heat and add the vanilla. Whip again until the vanilla has been fully incorporated.
- When brownies have cooled completely, frost with vanilla meringue frosting and top with Cocoa Puffs cereal.
