To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a medium-sized bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Add in the sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Add in the flour and baking powder, and mix until just combined.

Divide the batter into two equal parts. Add a few drops of red food coloring to one half of the batter and mix until the color is evenly distributed. Spoon the red batter into the prepared baking pan, and smooth it out with a spatula. Spoon the plain batter on top of the red batter, and use a knife to swirl the two batters together to create a marbled effect.
Bake the brownies for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. To create the Santa hat design, cut each brownie square diagonally and place the two triangles together to form a hat shape. Use a small amount of frosting to attach a mini marshmallow to the top of each hat.
