What you will need
This recipe uses 8 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 cups brownie brittle pieces
- 0.5 cup hot fudge sauce
- 0.5 cup white chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup mini M and M candies
- 0.25 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 0.5 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Base
Spread brownie brittle pieces in a single layer on a large serving platter or baking sheet, overlapping slightly like nachos.
Step 2: Warm the Fudge
Combine hot fudge sauce with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and pourable.
Step 3: Melt White Chocolate
Melt white chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until fully smooth. Transfer to a small piping bag or zip-lock bag with a corner snipped.
Step 4: Add the Toppings
Drizzle hot fudge over the brittle base, then pipe white chocolate in a zigzag pattern. Scatter mini M and M candies, mini marshmallows, and rainbow sprinkles evenly across the platter.
Step 5: Serve Immediately
Add scoops of vanilla ice cream on top of the platter just before serving. Serve right away so the brittle stays crunchy.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- brownie brittle → chocolate graham crackers broken into shards
- mini M and M candies → chopped Reese's Pieces
- white chocolate chips → caramel sauce drizzle
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Letting the hot fudge sit too long before drizzling causes it to harden and clump rather than drizzle smoothly
- Piling toppings too thick in the center and leaving the edges bare creates uneven bites
- Adding ice cream too early causes the brittle to become soggy before serving
